High prosperity and strong certainty of performance growth: according to the data of the previous three quarters, the performance growth rate of the whole industry was + 7%, and the total growth rate of listed securities companies was + 23%. The third quarter of last year was a high base, but the fourth quarter was a low base due to the impact of impairment. Combined with the high outlook of the capital market since the fourth quarter of this year, The annual performance of securities companies increased on the high base last year, with strong certainty. Considering the promotion of the comprehensive registration system reform and the general trend of wealth management, we have a positive outlook for next year, the overall prosperity of the industry is expected to maintain an upward trend, and the annual net profit is expected to achieve a positive growth of more than 15% next year.
In the short and medium term, the expected easing of liquidity resonates with the policy dividend, and the Spring Festival agitation pays attention to the fund’s “good start”: considering the great downward pressure on the economy, the recovery of the epidemic outside China, the approaching debt repayment of real estate enterprises and other factors, the monetary policy will be relatively loose from the end of the year to the beginning of next year, and further easing will not be ruled out. In addition, favorable policies have been implemented one after another, such as the promotion of the reform of the comprehensive registration system, the pilot of account management optimization, the liberalization of the lending of insurance capital securities, and so on. In addition, with the approach of the Spring Festival, the new issuance market of public funds has significantly warmed up to a higher level. Judging from the issuance plans disclosed at present, many star fund managers launched heavy products in January 2022, and the “good start” of public funds is worth looking forward to. Under the dual effects of expected improvement of liquidity and policy dividends, the valuation of securities companies is expected to increase.
In the long run, the proportion of wealth management business is expected to further improve and enhance the valuation center. Since this year, the growth rate of the brokerage sector is still negative, at – 4.4%, and the overall valuation is about 1.7 times, which is 58% in the past five years. However, the overall prosperity has been the highest level in the past few years, and the repair of the deviation between the sector valuation and the fundamentals has not been completed. In the short and medium term, with the help of liquidity and favorable policies, the upward momentum of the plate is sufficient and has a safe boundary. For next year, the household savings structure will flow to the equity market, and the increase in the proportion of wealth management as the core business of asset light will reshape the valuation system of securities companies.
