On July 8, the A-share brokerage sector collectively declined, while several brokerages released 'good news' that night, stating that their first-half performance is expected to increase. On the same day, both Hongta Securities and Dongxing Securities stated that net profit attributable to the parent company owner in the first half of this year increased by at least 50% compared to the same period last year. Shouchuang Securities said it had increased by at least 60%. On the same day, Guangdong Golden Dragon Development Inc. also sent out a 'good news' announcement, stating that its holding subsidiary Zhongshan Securities achieved a turnaround in net profit in the first half of this year. As a result, the net loss of Guangdong Golden Dragon Development Inc. for the same period last year has narrowed. The above are the first batch of brokerages to release performance forecasts. According to reporters, most of the above-mentioned securities companies' performance increase forecasts are due to the ideal performance of their own plates in the first half of the year, achieving a significant increase in revenue. On the other hand, the above-mentioned brokerages ranked lower in last year's interim report and have smaller performance scales, which have lower bases. Self-operated business is still the winner of the brokerage industry's performance today. Some brokerage analysts said that from the overall performance of the industry, it is expected that brokerage business, investment banking business, asset management business, and credit business of securities companies will face varying degrees of decline this year, while self-operated business may achieve growth.
