Customer-demand institutional business is a watershed in securities companies' performance
In the view of industry insiders, the decline in investment business is still the main reason for affecting securities companies' performance in the third quarter.Customer-demand institutional business is a watershed in securities companies' performance. Currently, the valuation of the securities sector is at the historical bottom.
analysts pointed out that investment businesses affected by the market decline and the higher year-on-year base are the main reasons for the decline in the performance of listed securities companies. The business of customer-demand institutions is still the watershed of securities companies' performance in the third quarter. The performance of securities companies with high customer-demand businesses such as over-the-counter derivatives has stronger stability. Investor institutionalization will further drive the growth of securities institutions' business, and productization capabilities will become the core competitiveness in the future.
Kaiyuan Securities Chief analyst of the non-bank finance industry Gao Chao said that the valuation of the securities sector is at the historical bottom, and trading volume shows signs of bottoming out and rebounding. The year-on-year improvement in performance brought by the low base is expected to occur in the fourth quarter, and the warm wind on the policy side continues. We are optimistic about the excess returns of securities companies in the next one to two quarters, and the short-term trading volume and policy favorable sensitive targets have strong elasticity.
Shenwan Hongyuan non-bank analyst Xu Yishan said that the valuation of the securities sector has bottomed out. As of September 30, 2022, the PB valuation of the securities sector was 1.13 times, at the 0.3% quantile since 2012; the static PE valuation is 15.4 times, at the 9.9% quantile since 2012. We must pay attention to the allocation opportunities of securities companies. Leading securities companies have relatively stable profitability and stable asset quality.
