HONG KONG, July 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - While the market is still indulging in the static discussion of "breaking net" and "undervaluation" of Hong Kong financial stocks, astute capital has long set its sights on the tracks with more dynamic growth potential. The strong upward trend of CMBC Capital (01141.HK)'s stock price since 2025 is by no means a simple oversold rebound, but a profound cognitive revolution: The market is re-examining this company - which has transformed from a traditional local Hong Kong brokerage into a core carrier of the "super connector" linking the Chinese mainland and global capital.
If the last round of rally was based on the confirmation of shareholder background and margin of safety, then the subsequent market trend will be the full pricing of CMBC Capital's extremely high performance explosive power under the threefold macro dividends of "cross-border finance", "Greater Bay Area integration" and "enterprise overseas expansion services".
I.Strategic Positioning: Deeply Cultivate the Dividends of the Greater Bay Area and Become the Golden Channel for "Connectivity"
Unlike ordinary brokerages that "live at the mercy of the weather" by relying on secondary market fluctuations, the core investment logic of CMBC Capital lies in its precise strategic positioning - deeply rooted in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the most dynamic economic hinterland in the world.
Since the beginning of this year, the country has introduced frequent policy support for financial connectivity in the Greater Bay Area, from the expansion of the "Cross-boundary Wealth Management Connect" business to the promotion of the dual-currency stock model in Hong Kong dollars and RMB, all of which indicate that Hong Kong's status as the "bridgehead" for mainland capital going overseas and the "preferred destination" for overseas capital entering China is unshakable. As an important overseas strategic platform of China Minsheng Bank, CMBC Capital is inherently endowed with the historical mission of serving private enterprises going overseas and attracting foreign capital to flow back.
This unique strategic position endows CMBC Capital with an extremely strong ability to capture "policy dividends". When a large number of mainland private enterprises are in urgent need of building overseas financing platforms through Hong Kong, or acquiring advanced overseas technologies through mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations, CMBC Capital, with its deep understanding of mainland corporate culture and proficient application of Hong Kong capital rules, has become the most indispensable "intermediary".
The rise in its stock price since the beginning of this year is exactly the "awakening" of the market to this strategic value. Investors have begun to realize that CMBC Capital is no longer just a trading code, but a direct beneficiary of the accelerated capital flow in the Greater Bay Area. With the deepening of financial integration in the Greater Bay Area, its value as a cross-border asset management channel will grow exponentially, and this "track dividend" is a long-term growth logic that cannot be obscured by any short-term market fluctuations.
II.Differentiated Competition: Serve the Real Economy and Seize the Financing Wave of "New Quality Productivity"
In the field of investment banking business, CMBC Capital has blazed a trail of differentiated competition, which is also the endogenous driving force supporting the continuous strengthening of its stock price. Unlike the red-ocean competition of leading brokerages in giant blue-chip stocks, CMBC Capital has astutely set its sights on small and medium-sized hard technology enterprises and new consumer brands representing "new quality productivity".
At present, China's economy is in a critical period of transformation and upgrading, and a large number of emerging enterprises with core technologies are in urgent need of the nourishment of the capital market. However, these enterprises are often unable to receive sufficient attention from traditional large financial institutions due to their still small scale and novel business models. Relying on China Minsheng Bank's 20 years of profound accumulation in serving small and medium-sized enterprises, CMBC Capital has established a set of enterprise service systems with rapid response and flexible customization.
From assisting specialized, refined, differential, and innovative enterprises to list in Hong Kong, to providing structured financing for enterprises in the transition period, and then to helping domestic enterprises issue overseas green bonds, CMBC Capital's investment banking layout in the emerging economic field has begun to take shape. Since the beginning of this year, it has rich project reserves in the fields of biomedicine, new energy, high-end manufacturing, etc. As these enterprises gradually enter the capital market or complete financing, CMBC Capital will obtain underwriting fees and financial advisor income far exceeding the industry average.
This "small but beautiful", "refined and specialized" business model enables CMBC Capital to demonstrate amazing resilience during the shift period of economic growth. The high premium given by the market is precisely based on its huge potential as an "incubator" and "booster" during the outbreak of China's new economic engine. Buying CMBC Capital is essentially buying an option on the rise of China's new economic forces.
III.Optimization of Asset Structure: Start with a Light Load, an Efficiency Revolution Empowered by Fintech
In addition to the grand narrative, the improvement of operational efficiency at the micro level is also a key driver of the stock price rise. Since the beginning of this year, CMBC Capital has carried out drastic adjustments to its asset structure, resolutely divested inefficient assets, and focused on light-capital businesses with high turnover and high returns.
This "slimming and strengthening" strategy has significantly improved the company's return on equity (ROE). Against the backdrop of the sweeping fintech wave, CMBC Capital has not stuck to traditions, but actively embraced digital transformation. By introducing intelligent trading systems, quantitative investment research tools and big data risk control models, it has greatly reduced operating costs and improved the efficiency of transaction matching.
This efficiency reform is particularly evident in the wealth management business. Facing the growing affluent class and high-net-worth individuals, CMBC Capital uses digital means to break the physical boundaries of traditional services, and can provide customers with global asset allocation solutions at a lower cost. With the explosive growth of the middle class's wealth management demand, CMBC Capital's assets under management (AUM) are expected to achieve non-linear growth.
The market often gives extremely high valuation rewards for "cost reduction and efficiency improvement". The profit space released by CMBC Capital through internal reforms not only thickens earnings per share (EPS), but also sends a signal to the market that the management is proactive, pragmatic and efficient. This marginal improvement of the management is the strongest catalyst for the continuous rise of the stock price, and also proves that the stock price rise this year has solid performance support.
IV.Liquidity Inflection Point and Beta Dividend: Small Market Capitalization, Great Flexibility
From the technical perspective of market trading, CMBC Capital has typical high Beta attributes, that is, when the market rises, its increase often far exceeds that of the broader market. Since the beginning of this year, as the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike cycle has peaked and global liquidity expectations have reversed, the Hong Kong stock market has welcomed long-lost incremental funds.
For institutional funds seeking excess returns, although large bank stocks are stable, they lack flexibility; As a small and medium-sized market capitalization financial holding platform, CMBC Capital has become the best target for funds to pursue "flexibility" in the game. A small amount of capital inflow can leverage a considerable increase in stock price, and this liquidity advantage is particularly obvious in the early stage of the market rally.
More importantly, the current Hong Kong stock market is undergoing a style switch from "risk aversion" to "profit seeking". Capital has started to flow from defensive sectors to offensive sectors with growth expectations. CMBC Capital has both the safety of financial stocks and the growth potential of technology stocks, and this rare "dual attribute" has made it a must-have option for capital allocation.
We can clearly see that the heavy-volume rise in stock price since the beginning of this year is by no means the result of retail investors following the trend, but the result of smart money snapping up chips at low levels. As market sentiment further accumulates, the spread of the wealth effect will attract more trend-following capital to enter the market, forming a positive feedback loop. For investors, entering the market at this time is exactly the best opportunity to catch this express train.
V.Conclusion: To revalue CMBC Capital is to revalue the open future of China's finance.
To sum up, if we only regard CMBC Capital as an ordinary Hong Kong stock brokerage, we will miss this magnificent investment opportunity.
The sharp rise of CMBC Capital (01141.HK) this year is the market's reconfirmation of its identity as a "cross-border financial platform in the Greater Bay Area", a re-pricing of its investment banking capability of "serving new quality productivity", and a full affirmation of its "asset-light, high-efficiency" operation model.
CMBC Capital joined the Stock Connect program in 2017, with its historical market capitalization peaking at HK$30 billion.Looking forward to the future, against the grand background of the steady advancement of RMB internationalization, the accelerated overseas expansion of mainland enterprises, and the continuous consolidation of Hong Kong's status as an international financial center, the value of CMBC Capital as a key node connecting the inside and outside has far from been fully tapped by the market.

HONG KONG, July 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - In the magnificent capital market, trading volume is often the thermometer of the market, while the activity of investment banking business is a barometer for the intrinsic value of listed companies. Since the beginning of this year, CMBC Capital (01141.HK) has delivered an impressive performance in the Hong Kong stock secondary market, and the strong climb of its share price is actually strongly supported by the "explosive growth" development of its primary market investment banking business.
As an important window for the Chinese-funded financial institutions in Hong Kong, CMBC Capital has not relied solely on market trends to achieve results this year. Instead, with its keen market insight and professional underwriting capability, it has successively sponsored a number of high-quality enterprises to list on the Hong Kong stock market. This strategic approach of "investment banking taking the lead and empowering the real economy" has not only brought a substantial increase in the company's immediate performance, but also built a huge reserve pool of potential assets.As a former Stock Connect constituent, CMBC Capital once reached a market capitalization peak of HK$30 billion. Benefiting from robust earnings growth, the company may be poised for a ‘Davis Double Play,’ presenting significant potential for valuation reversion.
I. A bumper year for investment banking: With sponsorship as the vanguard, making a strong breakthrough through the market fog
Since the beginning of this year, CMBC Capital has delivered a remarkable report card in its sponsorship business. This year, the company has frequently appeared in the "sponsor" column of the prospectuses of many well-known enterprises, covering not only popular tracks such as TMT, healthcare and consumption, but also playing a leading role in benchmark projects in some segments fields. Such high-frequency appearances in sponsorship projects are by no means accidental, but the inevitable result of the company's long-term dedication to serving small and medium-sized enterprises and building a full-industry-chain financial service system.
Investment banking business is the crown jewel of securities firms. The improvement in the quantity and quality of sponsorship projects directly means a jump in brand premium and tangible growth in revenue. The sponsorship business brings not only high underwriting fee income, but also a package of revenues including placement commissions and financial advisory fees. More importantly, the explosion of such business volume has sent an extremely strong signal to the market: CMBC Capital 's project contracting capability and pricing capability in the primary market have ranked among the top in the industry. It is this hard-core support from fundamentals that forms the most solid foundation for the share price rise since the beginning of this year.
II. Deepening of the moat: From "one-off transactions" to "win-win in the ecosystem"
The Investors may ask: Can sponsoring the listing of several companies really support the long-term logic of the stock price' The answer is definitely yes. Because the competition of modern investment banks has long gone beyond the game of single transactions, and has evolved into competition of ecosystems.
The intensive sponsorship activities of CMBC Capital since this year are actually weaving a high-value enterprise resource network. Every enterprise sponsored and listed by CMBC Capital has become its long-term strategic partner. The needs of these enterprises for refinancing, merger and acquisition, debt restructuring and corporate wealth management after listing will become a recurring source of business for CMBC Capital .
This has built an extremely deep moat for CMBC Capital . When an enterprise chooses CMBC Capital at the beginning of its listing, it means that the two sides have established deep trust. In the current Hong Kong stock market, enterprises are increasingly dependent on Chinese-funded investment banks that "understand China and connect the world". Backed by China Minsheng Bank, CMBC Capital is not only familiar with the business models of mainland enterprises, but also proficient in the rules of the international capital market. This "bilingual" advantage makes it highly capable in its sponsorship business.
For investors, buying CMBC Capital means not only buying a securities firm, but also an "invisible asset package" composed of dozens or even hundreds of high-quality Hong Kong-listed companies. The growth of these enterprises is deeply tied to the fate of CMBC Capital , forming a community of shared interests where all thrive together. This ecosystem effect has greatly improved the stability and predictability of CMBC Capital 's performance, which is the core logic supporting the upward shift of its valuation center.
III. Logic verification: The sponsorship boom confirms "Minsheng speed" and the "iron execution team"
The sharp rise in share price since the beginning of this year has, to a large extent, been a strong response to the previous doubts in the market. Previously, the market was often worried that small and medium-sized securities firms had shortcomings in project execution, risk control and efficiency. However, CMBC Capital 's intensive and successful sponsorship track record this year proves that it has an "iron execution team".
Against the background of the accelerated pace of hearings at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and stricter listing review, being able to continuously promote the successful listing hearing and listing of multiple enterprises is in itself a scarce capability. It reflects CMBC Capital 's professional competence in various links such as compliance and risk control, due diligence, roadshow and promotion. Such "Minsheng speed" and "Minsheng efficiency" have won dual recognition from issuers and investors.
The improvement of capability has been directly translated into the expansion of market share. In the highly competitive Hong Kong stock investment banking circle, reputation is life. Every successful project is a free advertisement for CMBC Capital 's brand image. Once this positive cycle is formed, subsequent projects will keep coming like a snowball. Share price is a reflection of expectations. The market has keenly captured the trend of CMBC Capital 's "rising reputation" in the investment banking industry, so funds have rushed to buy shares in advance, pushing up the share price, which is a reasonable pricing for its rising industry status.
IV. Treasure hunting mode: The overlooked Pre-IPO investment gold mine
In addition to the obvious intermediary fee income, behind CMBC Capital 's intensive sponsorship of enterprise listings, there is also a huge gold mine hidden - cornerstone investment and Pre-IPO investment opportunities.
As a sponsor, CMBC Capital often has the opportunity to access high-quality enterprises earlier than ordinary investors, and also has more in-depth information advantages. In many IPO cases this year, CMBC Capital has strategically held some shares with great growth potential either through its affiliated funds or through cornerstone investment.
As the share prices of these enterprises have delivered strong results in the secondary market, CMBC Capital 's proprietary investment performance will be significantly boosted. This two-wheel drive model of "investment banking + investment" has greatly amplified the company's earnings elasticity. If sponsorship fees are the certain income that is "money in the bank", then the appreciation of these equity investments is the "higher-than-expected" source of share price growth momentum.
Investors tend to overlook this part of the "invisible value". As the sponsored enterprises go public one after another this year, the value of these investment projects will be gradually reflected in the financial reports, becoming a catalyst to trigger the next wave of share price rise. This unique profit model means that CMBC Capital 's valuation logic cannot simply follow the traditional PE/PB model, and it should be given a higher valuation premium based on return on investment (ROI).
V. Outlook for the future: Building on the momentum, full potential to become a leading investment bank
Looking ahead, CMBC Capital 's investment banking business is still in an upward channel. With the deepening of the reform of the Hong Kong stock market, specialist technology companies and overseas enterprises have strong enthusiasm for listing in Hong Kong, and the market's demand for professional investment banking services is only increasing.
Through its excellent performance since the beginning of this year, CMBC Capital has proved that it has the capability to undertake complex projects and serve emerging industries. This has laid a solid foundation for it to undertake larger-scale and higher-quality IPO projects in the future. We have every reason to believe that in the future top 10 IPO list of the Hong Kong stock market, the name of CMBC Capital will no longer be a rare guest, but a frequent one.
For secondary market investors, this is undoubtedly the biggest positive. The explosive growth of investment banking business will directly drive the linkage growth of brokerage business (margin financing) and asset management business (institutional client introduction). The synergy effect of the entire business line will be fully activated, and the overall profitability of the company will rise to a new level.
Conclusions: Enjoy the harvest moment and grasp the deterministic growth
From the high growth of sponsorship revenue, to the deep binding of ecosystem resources, and then to the hidden gold mine of investment income, CMBC Capital is showing the market a completely different self - a new generation of Chinese-funded investment bank full of vitality, strong enterprising spirit and deterministic growth.
Although the current stock price has risen, compared with the long-term value brought by the explosive growth of its investment banking business, it is still in a "valued at a discount". Investors should not be troubled by short-term fluctuations, but should look beyond the phenomenon to understand the essence, and see the increasingly important role CMBC Capital plays in the tide of Hong Kong stock IPOs. In this big year for investment banks, CMBC Capital is undoubtedly the core asset most worth holding.
