In recent years, the large provision for impairment losses has been "eroding" the profits of securities companies.
For example, in 2020, Huatai Securities Co.Ltd(601688) (601688. SH), China Galaxy Securities Co.Ltd(601881) securities (601881. SH), Guotai Junan Securities Co.Ltd(601211) securities (601211. SH), China Securities Co.Ltd(601066) (601066. SH) all asset impairment reserves accrued exceeded 10% of the audited net profit in 2019.
China Securities Co.Ltd(601066) the Securities Research Report once pointed out that there are two main reasons why listed securities companies over withdraw impairment losses: on the one hand, from 2018, the revised accounting standards for Business Enterprises No. 22-24 began to apply to listed securities companies, and the new standards changed the treatment method of impairment of financial assets from "incurred loss method" to "expected loss method", It gives listed securities companies greater autonomy and flexibility in impairment provision, and some listed securities companies begin to use impairment provision as a profit adjustment tool.
On the other hand, in December 2020, the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchange revised the relevant contents of the delisting system in the stock listing rules: on the one hand, the four types of delisting indicators were optimized and modified to make the indicators more stringent and specific; On the other hand, it simplifies the delisting process, which greatly reduces the speculation time and space of delisted stocks. Affected by this, small cap stocks with delisting risk generally fell; Out of prudent consideration, listed securities companies have accrued the expected losses of stock pledge projects with delisting risk.
However, looking to the future, China Securities Co.Ltd(601066) Securities believes that it is difficult to reproduce the large amount of impairment losses accrued by listed securities companies in successive years: the expected impairment losses accrued by listed securities companies in excess from 2018 to 2020 have fully consolidated the asset quality; In the future years, if the actual impairment loss is less than the accrued impairment loss, the listed securities companies can turn back the more accrued part, so as to thicken the performance of the current year.
