JP Morgan's research report reinitiated coverage on Chinese brokers with a positive outlook, citing strong business momentum, supportive regulatory environment, and undemanding valuations as compelling buying opportunities. The broker noted that the valuations of A- and H-share brokers are now below their long-term average levels, and the market's forecast for this year's ADT is overly conservative. The 1Q26 results to be announced in April are expected to be a key catalyst for the sector's re-rating.Related News CHINA GALAXY (06881.HK) Full-Year Net Profit RMB12.52 Billion, Up 24.8%; Declares Cash Dividend of RMB0.225 Per ShareThe broker's top pick was CICC (03908.HK) +0.020 (+0.116%) Short selling $21.47M; Ratio 42.224% , which was seen as a key beneficiary of the recovery in IPO and institutional business.
