operating trends, undemanding valuation and upcoming 2Q26 result pre- J.P. Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Limited/

announcements in mid-July are the key drivers for another summer-time J.P. Morgan Broking (Hong Kong) Limited

rally. As such, we suggest investors accumulate high-quality broker names Lincoln Yu
