As the “leading brother” of the securities industry, the decline of Citic Securities Company Limited(600030) ‘s revenue confirms the setback of the overall performance of the “naked eye” securities industry. The financial Associated Press reporter learned from various interviews in the industry that due to the joint action of many factors such as market environment and business transformation, including brokerage business, proprietary business, credit business and other brokerage businesses are being affected, and the investment banking business can still fight.
A senior person from the head securities firm told the financial Associated Press, “the performance express of the head securities firm has only experienced a 7% decline in revenue. Small and medium-sized securities firms may be more sad in Q1 this year. However, securities firms that implement characteristic and differentiated playing methods may have bright spots to see.”
For the performance in the first quarter, different institutions have given roughly the same research and judgment. Most believe that the revenue and net profit of securities companies will decline in the first quarter of this year, and judge the main reason as the poor market situation.

Although the current situation is not optimistic, the executives of the interviewed securities companies are optimistic about the situation of the whole year. In their view, with the imminent implementation of the comprehensive registration system, the steady progress of capital market reform and the improvement of market prosperity, this will bring business increment. A non bank sector analyst told the financial Associated Press, “although the first quarter of this year ‘opened the door Black’, it does not mean that the industry has entered a cold winter in 2022. On the contrary, it will further test the business thinking and response level of securities companies, which should change from time to time and attack difficulties flexibly.”
institutional business or driven performance “fix”

Shi Benliang, the person in charge of finance of the company, replied that “the global capital market has fluctuated recently due to various reasons such as the international situation. For securities companies, will changes in the external market environment have an impact on the demand for business funds?” The fluctuation is temporary, and the overall situation of China’s capital market remains unchanged for a long time. From the perspective of the company’s own development, the market has also fluctuated in recent years, but the company’s risk business based on the balance sheet has still achieved sustained and steady development.
The financial Associated Press reporter noted that the institutional business or Citic Securities Company Limited(600030) next business increment and profit restoration are important highlights. Liu Xinqi and Gao Yufei, the non bank team of Guojun securities, believe that under the situation of general pressure on the securities business, it is expected that the securities companies with competitive advantages in institutional business in 2022 will lead the industry in profit performance. The research report clearly points out that Citic Securities Company Limited(600030) , especially after replenishing the capital, will benefit more from the growth of institutional business.

business is generally under pressure, and the brokerage business is “not good with the naked eye”
Spring River warm duck prophet.
The securities industry is highly cyclical, and its performance is not only affected by its own operating level, but also very sensitive to the macroeconomic situation and the development of the industry Citic Securities Company Limited(600030) revenue fell or was not the case in the first quarter of this year.
From January to March this year, under the combined influence of multiple factors such as the pressure of the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the global epidemic, the A-share market fell significantly. The data showed that in the first quarter, the Shanghai index fell by 10.65%, the Shenzhen index fell by 18.44% and the gem index fell by 19.96%; The net outflow amount of the main force totaled 1.5 trillion yuan, and the net inflow amount was only 6 times in 58 trading days; As the market index fell, northbound funds also sold a net 24.328 billion yuan. In such a volatile market and irrational market environment, the performance of securities business will inevitably be affected.
Liu Xinqi and Gao Yufei, the non bank team of Guojun securities, pointed out that due to the influence of market conditions, the business of securities companies was generally under pressure in the first quarter of 2022, and the income of different businesses was differentiated. It is expected that the revenue of 41 listed securities companies in the first quarter decreased by 10.31% year-on-year, the net profit attributable to the parent decreased by 11.77% year-on-year, and the profitability decreased.
Brokerage business may become the business line of “visible bad” in the first quarter of this year.

In addition, the total turnover of the two cities exceeded 58 trillion yuan, the average daily turnover exceeded 1 trillion yuan, and the average daily stock base trading volume increased over the same period, but the commission rate still continued the downward trend in recent years.
A group of data recently disclosed by Shenzhen Securities Association may support the above situation. In early April, Shenzhen Securities Association announced the situation of Shenzhen securities market in January this year and the operation data of the business department under its jurisdiction. Affected by the market, there was a significant month on month decline in a number of data such as the total transaction volume of stock base, operating revenue and profit, sales amount and revenue of financial products in January.

However, if the brokerage business is indeed less than expected according to the data, it may affect the pace of wealth management transformation to a certain extent. From the performance of 2021 disclosed at present, the background of wealth management of many securities companies is gradually deepening. The financial Associated Press noted that although the situation is not optimistic, the response of securities companies is not pessimistic. Respondents admit that fluctuations affect business development, but they are still firmly optimistic about the long-term development trend of wealth management.

Orient Securities Company Limited(600958) vice president Xu Haining believes that every round of market volatility is a good opportunity for wealth management institutions to examine their own organizational construction, improve their customer service system, and improve their business ability, professional level and psychological quality.

mechanism: expected to “squat and jump”
While the business of securities companies is generally under pressure, listed securities companies also need to face the “fire baking” of the secondary market.
According to statistics, in the first quarter of this year, only Chinalin Securities Co.Ltd(002945) achieved a cumulative increase of 6% among the 48 shenwanyi securities companies, while the remaining 47 securities companies fell, with an average decrease of 14%, and 29 stocks fell more than the average.

According to the research and judgment of many institutions, brokerage stocks will pick up in the second quarter. There are two main reasons. One is that the overall performance of securities companies has maintained growth and the profitability has been steadily improved. The other is that the comprehensive registration system reform and the capital market boost information measures are conducive to the release.
Guosen Securities Co.Ltd(002736) in its investment strategy of securities industry in April, it is pointed out that under the expectation of steady growth, the reform of capital market has been strengthened, which has become the catalyst for the market of securities companies. At present, the valuation of Pb of securities companies is 1.46 times, which is in the historical quantile of 7.62%, with a high margin of safety. With the promotion of capital market reform and the growth of residents’ demand for wealth management, securities companies usher in new opportunities for development. Under the background of capital market reform, leading securities companies have advantages in capital strength, risk management ability, research pricing ability and business layout.
China Merchants Securities Co.Ltd(600999) believes that considering the fluctuation characteristics of securities companies’ stocks (policy sensitive and liquidity sensitive) and the basis of oversold in the early stage, securities companies’ stocks are expected to usher in a “squat take-off” in the future.
