Dongxing Securities Is Being Absorbed by CICC and Delisted

Strong interim profit growth Dongxing's 2026 interim net profit rose 25.13% to 1.025 billion yuan, the fourth straight year of growth, with revenue up 11.40%. Solid earnings support the value of the shares being swapped into CICC stock.
It shows the underlying business is performing well, which supports the value shareholders receive in the merger.
Regulator approves CICC merger China's securities regulator approved CICC's absorption of Dongxing and Cinda Securities. This clears the main hurdle, making the deal near-certain and giving Dongxing holders a clear path to CICC shares.
Regulatory approval removes the biggest risk that the merger might fail, directly affecting the value of Dongxing shares.
Share swap terms set at 16.05 yuan Dongxing shareholders will receive 0.4376 CICC shares for each Dongxing share, valuing Dongxing at 16.05 yuan per share. This fixed exchange ratio anchors Dongxing's price to CICC's market value.
The swap ratio and price directly determine what Dongxing investors get, making it the key pricing driver.
Delisting application accepted Dongxing applied for voluntary delisting and the Shanghai Stock Exchange accepted it on September 23. This is the final step before the company dissolves into CICC, ending its separate listing.
It confirms the merger is proceeding to completion, which is the ultimate event affecting Dongxing's shares.

CICC merger clears key approval; Dongxing earnings jump

CICC merger wins Shanghai Stock Exchange approval The Shanghai Stock Exchange approved CICC's share-swap merger with Dongxing and Cinda. This is the biggest step yet toward Dongxing being bought out at a 26% premium to its recent average price, which supports the stock. Final CSRC approval is still pending, so the deal is not yet certain.
This is the period's most important new event and directly drives Dongxing's price through the takeover premium.
First-half profit rises 25% year-on-year Dongxing reported first-half net profit of 1.025 billion yuan, up 25.13% from a year earlier, with second-quarter profit up 90% from the first quarter. Stronger earnings make the company more valuable and support the share price on their own, even aside from the merger.
It is a new, company-specific fundamental result that independently supports the stock price.
New M&A bonus in broker ratings backs consolidation Regulators added a first-ever bonus for mergers and acquisitions in this year's broker rating system, encouraging consolidation. Dongxing is part of a major merger, so it stands to benefit from this policy tailwind, which supports the deal's logic and the stock.
It is a new regulatory change that reinforces the merger trend Dongxing is part of.
Deal still needs final CSRC approval Even after the exchange approval, the merger still requires China Securities Regulatory Commission sign-off, and the company says there is uncertainty it will complete. If the deal were blocked or delayed, the premium embedded in Dongxing's price could shrink, so this is a real risk to watch.
It is the main counterweight that keeps the merger from being a certainty.

Dependence on buoyant markets Risks persist: results depend heavily on buoyant markets and state intervention, making earnings vulnerable to trading slowdowns, policy shifts, or margin-lending exposure if sentiment reverses.
