Shuo Yang’s rating is based on a combination of factors that reflect both positive and cautious elements in Futu Holdings’ recent performance. The company reported impressive revenue and net profit growth, significantly exceeding expectations, largely due to effective cost management. The reduction in costs per user played a crucial role in this financial outperformance.
However, despite these positive results, Shuo Yang remains cautious due to the volatile market conditions that could impact Futu Holdings’ future earnings. The sustainability of reduced client acquisition costs and the potential effects of market volatility on client assets under management and turnover are areas of concern. These factors contribute to the Hold rating, as they suggest a balanced outlook with both opportunities and risks for the company’s future performance.
