Zhou viewpoint:
The central economic work conference clearly proposed to “fully implement the stock issuance registration system”, and it is expected that the registration system of Shanghai and Shenzhen main board can be implemented in 2022. Previously, the opening of the science and innovation board in July 19, the landing of the gem registration system in August 20, the merger of the Shenzhen main board and the small and medium-sized board in February 21, and the formal operation of the Beijing stock exchange last month have laid a solid foundation for the comprehensive registration system. The registration system is an important link in the high-quality development of multi-level capital market and the implementation of innovation driven development strategy. On the evening of the 10th, Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges have simultaneously solicited opinions on the new stock listing rules, and strive to build a concise, clear and friendly self regulatory rule system.
Securities companies are the core carrier of the capital market and benefit most from the comprehensive promotion of the registration system. 1) With the emergence of IPO business increment, investment banking needs more capital strength, sales ability and pricing ability. It is expected that the concentration of business resources will be further improved. As the flow inlet of institutional business, investment banking will promote the strength of institutional business; 2) The supply side dividend continues to be released. It is expected that the transfer of residents’ asset allocation to equity assets will be accelerated, the securities companies deeply engaged in the equity fund industry chain will further cultivate advantages, and the wealth management + asset management business will promote the improvement of profitability and robustness.
The current Pb valuation of securities companies is 1.75 times, below the 60th percentile since 2016. Compared with the overall annualized roe of listed securities companies this year and the average annual roe of 7.6% since 2016, there is a large upward space for the valuation of securities companies.
Focus on recommending individual stocks: equity and institutionalization are the core main line of subsequent securities companies’ investment. The valuation premium space of advantageous securities companies in wealth management + large asset management + institutional business (derivatives, securities lending and capitalized investment banking) is significant. We firmly recommend Gf Securities Co.Ltd(000776) , Huatai Securities Co.Ltd(601688) , and suggest paying attention to China International Capital Corporation Limited(601995) H.
