CICC (3908 HK) announced details of its merger, and as Dongxing Securities (601198 CH) is valued higher, FY26F EPS dilution will be 8.5% on a weighted average basis.
Its post-merger FY26 and FY27 PERs are higher than the sector average, but given its rise to the 3rd largest H-share securities company, the premium can be justified.
Larger H-share securities companies have edged up since 19-Nov, which bodes well for CICC. We envisage a muted share price reaction, but long-term investors can build a position.
