[ET Net News Agency, 21 July 2020] Huatai Research lifted its target price for China
Galaxy Securities (CGS)(06881) to HK$6.67 from HK$5 and maintained its "buy" rating.
The research house said CGS could be the largest beneficiary among Huatai's covered
brokers of better-than-expected stock market turnover. In 1H, CGS registered 45% growth in
unconsolidated net profit and 9.8% annualized ROE (return on equity). Huatai expects the
strength to continue in 2H, given potentially persistent buoyant A-share trading,
improving net interest margin, and a low base for revenue from its investment banking and
investment businesses.
Huatai lifted its 2020/21/22 net profit forecasts for CGS by 33%/37%/31%. (KL)
