CICC (03908.HK) plans to merge with DONGXING SECURITIES (601198.SH) and CINDA SECURITIES (601059.SH) by way of merger by absorption and a share-for-share exchange, Citi Research issued a research report saying.

Although the share swap merger will dilute CICC's EPS/ book value per share (BVPS) by 21%/ 13% each for FY2026, the merger is expected to lift capital restrictions for CICC, create synergies by expanding market share and enhance its chances of becoming a large broker, the broker noted. This could benefit from potential capital relaxation and new business pilot scheme, leading to a positive market reaction.

Due to accelerated supply-side reforms, other brokers' stock prices are expected to rise, potentially stabilizing fee rates and boosting potential ROE, Citi Research added.
