JPMorgan commented in its recent report that GTJA (02611.HK)'s announcement of acquiring HAITONG SEC (06837.HK) through share exchanges is expected to inevitably dilute GTJA's ROE and EPS, but it, if successful, will be another symbolic M&A in the industry following the merger of Shenyin & Wanguo Securities and Hongyuan Securities in 2014.

JPMorgan added that this M&A can help boost the industry sentiment in the short term. It believes there will be more similar transactions in the foreseeable future.
