The tide of brokerage firms increasing buybacks is surging! During the critical period of merger and acquisition reviews, Dongwu Securities major shareholder has made substantial increases in holdings.

On the evening of August 3, Dongwu Securities announced that its controlling shareholder, Suzhou International Development Group Co., Ltd., plans to increase its holdings in the company through the Shanghai Stock Exchange system's centralized bidding or other compliant methods over the next six months. The amount of the increase will not be less than 100 million yuan and not more than 200 million yuan, without setting a price range. This follows the shareholder increase plan announced by Industrial Securities in July, marking another A-share listed brokerage firm receiving substantial investment from important shareholders. According to a report by 21st Century Business Herald, since June 2026, two brokerages, Dongwu Securities and Industrial Securities, have announced shareholder increase plans. If we include several brokerages that disclosed repurchase plans during the same period, the brokerage sector is experiencing a wave of intensive repurchases and increases in holdings.
