发布时间:2026-04-29 来源:华泰证券
Guolian Minsheng Securities (GLMS) reported 1Q26 results. Revenue reached RMB1.86bn, up by 18.81% YoY and 13.52% QoQ. Attributable NP was RMB497mn, up by 32.07% YoY and 101.79% QoQ. By segment, all businesses delivered positive growth in 1Q26 except for a slight fluctuation in investment-related income. Brokerage net revenue rose by 44% YoY, showing strong earnings elasticity. The company’s quarterly net profit increased sharply QoQ and posted solid YoY growth. Following the consolidation of Minsheng Securities, its investment banking capabilities have strengthened and we expect it to benefit from a recovery in the investment banking market. Maintain BUY on both GLMS-A and GLMS-H.
Active trading drove YoY growth in brokerage net revenue
In 1Q26, average daily stock and fund turnover in the overall market rose by 79% YoY to RMB3.12tn. The company continued to shift its investment advisory business model toward broader wealth management, while strengthening refined operations. Its brokerage business benefited from more active trading, and delivered net revenue of RMB676mn in 1Q26, up by 44% YoY. In 1Q26, average daily margin financing and securities lending balance across the market rose by 42% YoY. The company’s margin financing and securities lending business continued to focus on three core models: tiered client management, differentiated development, and digital service support. It kept optimizing client segmentation and its value system. While stabilizing existing clients, it also stepped up efforts to acquire new clients. In 1Q26, interest income from financing business increased, and net interest income reached RMB49mn in the quarter, improving significantly YoY, versus net interest expense of RMB5mn in 1Q25.
Expanded financial investments with mild fluctuation in gains
At the end of 1Q26, the company had total assets of RMB237.1bn, up by 17% from the end of last year. Leverage, excluding client margins, rose to 3.42x from 3.10x at the end of last year. The company follows a prudent operating approach in fixed-income investment, while its equity investment business targets absolute returns and adheres to a value investing philosophy. In 1Q26, the financial investment book expanded further to RMB109.4bn at quarter-end, up by 20% from the end of last year. Specifically, financial assets held for trading and other equity instruments stood at RMB95.6bn and RMB13.6bn, up by 23% and 5%, respectively, from the end of last year. Total investment-related income was RMB681mn in 1Q26, down by 4% YoY, representing only a mild fluctuation.
Earnings forecast and valuation
Given that external geopolitical risks remain and uncertainty is still high, we moderately lower our assumption for investment-related income. We estimate attributable NP at RMB2.2bn, RMB2.6bn, and RMB2.9bn for 2026E, 2027E, and 2028E, respectively, versus our previous forecasts of RMB2.4bn, RMB2.7bn, and RMB3.0bn, implying cuts of 6%, 5%, and 5%. We estimate 2026E BPS at RMB9.52, versus the previous RMB9.53. Wind consensus implies average 2026E PB of 1.09x and 0.65x for comparable A-share and H-share peers, versus previous levels of 1.0x and 0.6x. Considering the post-merger strengthening of the company’s investment banking business and the gradual emergence of synergy effects, we assign target 2026E PB of 1.5x for the GLMS-A and 0.7x for GLMS-H. This implies target prices of RMB14.28 and HKD7.61 (previous target prices of RMB13.34 and HKD6.47, on 1.4x and 0.6x 2026E PB). Maintain BUY for both names.
Risks: Merger integration progresses more slowly than we expected. Market volatility risk.
