Core Viewpoint - The merger between Xiangcai Co. and Dazhihui represents a significant case of cross-industry integration in finance and technology, with potential impacts on stock prices analyzed from short-term, mid-term, and long-term perspectives [2]. Short-term Analysis - The initial trading post-resumption may attract capital, with a potential valuation recovery as the brokerage sector is currently at historical low valuations (average PB around 1.2 times) [2]. - Historical examples suggest that similar mergers can lead to significant short-term stock price increases, with a potential valuation center of 50-60 billion yuan for the merged entity, translating to a stock price of approximately 16.7-20 yuan for Xiangcai Co., indicating a potential doubling from the pre-suspension price of 6.89 yuan [2]. Share Exchange Ratio and Arbitrage Potential - Dazhihui shareholders will exchange shares at a ratio of 1:1.27, allowing for arbitrage if Xiangcai Co.'s stock price rises post-resumption [3]. - The exchange ratio is based on 2023 financial data, and any decline in Xiangcai Co.'s performance in 2024 could affect the actual exchange value [3]. Financing and Dilution Effects - Xiangcai Co. plans to raise 8 billion yuan through financing, which could lead to an approximate 50% increase in share capital, diluting earnings per share [4]. - However, the market may interpret this financing as a sign of confidence in the merged entity's future business prospects [4]. Mid-term Analysis - The potential for business synergy is significant, with Dazhihui's 10 million monthly active users potentially converting to Xiangcai's brokerage clients, which could yield an additional 1 trillion yuan in client assets [5]. - Dazhihui's financial data services could enhance Xiangcai's research efficiency and reduce operational costs, similar to the success seen with Dongfang Caifu [5][6]. - Cost savings from reduced IT and management expenses are estimated to be around 10%-15% of total costs [6]. Integration Risks and Challenges - Cultural conflicts may arise due to differing operational styles, with Xiangcai's traditional finance approach contrasting with Dazhihui's internet agility [7]. - Compliance risks are present, particularly regarding data protection laws, which could lead to regulatory penalties if mishandled [7]. - Xiangcai may face pressure to meet performance commitments related to Dazhihui, with goodwill reaching 1.21 billion yuan as of June 2024 [7]. Long-term Analysis - The merger aims to create a benchmark for specialized brokerages, potentially prompting further integrations in the "brokerage + fintech" model [8]. - Regulatory support for mergers in the brokerage sector and the emphasis on fintech as a key growth area could provide additional advantages post-merger [9]. - Valuation ceilings are influenced by growth expectations, with a potential PE ratio of 30 if annual net profit growth reaches 20%, while failure to integrate could revert valuations to the industry average PE of around 15 [10].
