Items:

Founder Securities released its three-quarter report in 2023, with a total operating income of 5.67 billion yuan (year-on-year) and a net profit of 1.94 billion yuan (- 0.2%). The revenue in the third quarter was 1.61 billion yuan (- 11.8% compared with the same period last year), and the net profit was 500 million yuan (- 5.6% compared with the same period last year).

Comments:

The market boom is declining, and the brokerage business income has declined compared with the same period last year. Brokerage revenue in the first three quarters was 2.49 billion yuan (year-on-year-9.0%), compared with 780 million yuan in the third quarter (year-on-year-16.9%). The trading activity of the market decreased significantly in the third quarter, with a stock-based turnover of 51.3 trillion yuan (year-on-year-14.1%). Considering the continuous decline in the size of the fund market and the decline in brokerage business, it is speculated that the market share has not changed much.

The scale of heavy capital business has increased significantly, and the market share has increased. The self-operating business income in the first three quarters was 1.46 billion yuan (year-on-year + 37.8%), the third quarter was 330 million yuan (+ 110% year-on-year), and the net income of capital business in the first three quarters was 2.59 billion yuan (+ 8.5% year-on-year). 650 million yuan in the third quarter (+ 3.2% compared with the same period last year).

In terms of returns on equity and debt-based investments, the Q3 market this year is similar to that of last year, with 1.6 per cent of the company's proprietary return (year-on-year + 0.1pct), and the proprietary return is in line with expectations. The scale of proprietary assets increased to 99.5 billion yuan (year-on-year + 37.4%). The increase in the scale of corporate leverage has led to a significant increase in proprietary business income.

The net interest income in the first three quarters was 1.13 billion yuan (15% compared with the same period last year) and 330 million yuan in the third quarter (32% compared with the same period last year).

The business scale of the two financing companies is 30.5 billion yuan (+ 14% compared with the same period last year), and the market share of the two financing companies has increased to 1.91% (year-on-year + 0.18pct). The business scale of buying and reselling financial assets is 390 million yuan (- 10.2% compared with the same period last year), and the scale of stock quality business continues to decline.

Income from investment banking and asset management business has declined. Investment banking revenue in the first three quarters was 190 million yuan (year-on-year-44%), and in the third quarter it was 60 million yuan (year-on-year-47%). Investment banking business has certain cyclical characteristics, coupled with a slowdown in the investment banking business cycle in the third quarter. The income from the asset management business was 140 million yuan (- 32% compared with the same period last year), compared with 40 million yuan in the third quarter (- 30.6% from the same period last year).

Investment advice: last year, we benefited from high proprietary rate of return and high market trading activity, with a high performance base.

Market activity declined in the first three quarters of this year compared with the same period last year, and there will be some fluctuations, as expected. However, we can see that the long-term hub of ROE has been promoted, the scale of proprietary assets is growing rapidly, and the growth of customers is obvious. If the market boom picks up, we are optimistic that ROE will rebound. We maintain that the company's 2023, 2024, EPS is expected to be 0.33, 0.41, 0.49, 5.57, 5.92, 6.33, 1.34, 1.27, 1.18 and 7.77 percent, respectively, for 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively. The corresponding PB is 1.34, 1.27, and ROE is 5.89, 6.88, 7.77 respectively. We maintain the company's 2023 results 1.5 times PB valuation, corresponding to the target price of 8.4 yuan, maintain the "recommended" rating.

Risk hints: shareholder change risk, increasing downward pressure on the economy, northward capital reduction, etc.
