BOCI is rather positive about the online brokerage industry with an Overweight rating on the sector while maintains a Buy rating on FUTU.
Futu is reiterated as Buy given:
The paying client base expansion beats the management guidance and our expectation.
The effective take rate remained largely stable, while we expect short-term volatility in FY21E.
The cost-to-income ratio fell to a historical low level, indicating Futu's strong cost control abilities.
"We believe that Futu deserves a valuation premium because of the better outlook of its revenue and net profit growth, driven by the better penetration of online brokerage services in retail investors and Futu's overseas business expansion."
