Over 20 Listed Brokers Disclose Action Plans, Fintech Construction a Key Focus

As listed brokers concluded their 2026 semi-annual report disclosures, more than 20 firms, including Guotai Haitong, Huatai Securities, Changjiang Securities, and Guosen Securities, published progress updates on their action plans for improving quality and returns. Financial technology construction emerged as a key disclosure area. According to the semi-annual implementation details, intelligent transformation is moving from strategic planning toward systematic, large-scale scenario deployment. Brokers generally adopt a phased strategy, with basic service scenarios implemented first, while core business scenarios such as investment research, trading, and pricing advance in depth. Digital upgrades across business lines, including wealth management, investment banking, and asset management, are also ongoing.

Huatai Securities upgraded its core trading service agents in the first half of the year. Its one-stop institutional client service platform, Xingzhi, launched research skills and a multi-dimensional model context protocol suite. Equity investment has formed a multi-agent collaborative working model, promoting intelligent empowerment in advisory business. Zhang Ming, chairman of Cinda Securities, introduced at the 2026 semi-annual results briefing that the company continues to iteratively optimize core business systems such as the Gushitong app, Licai app, smart investment banking, and Huizhi asset management, deepening digital upgrades in wealth management, investment banking, and asset management operations. Changjiang Securities, driven by a dual-wheel strategy of stable empowerment and agile innovation, is improving its Changjiang Lingxi intelligent application platform and Changjiang Lingmou intelligent data service system, accelerating the deployment of digital and intelligent capabilities in wealth management, corporate finance, research and investment, trading services, and operations management.

Support from underlying infrastructure is also being strengthened. Guotai Haitong accelerated the upgrade of shared artificial intelligence infrastructure, including computing power, data, and large models, in the first half of the year. It established a comprehensive AI resource sharing and governance management system, scaled up large-model applications, and launched a cumulative total of 1,314 agents and 404 skills. Its Lingxi app was iterated to version 3.0, forming a multi-level digital and intelligent service platform combining app, agents, and Lingxi skills. Guosen Securities continued to increase investment in core technology research and development, with business application systems achieving 60% self-control and key systems such as Jinyang and core trading achieving 100% self-control.

Several brokers have made clear plans for digital and intelligent transformation in the second half of the year. Guotai Haitong stated it will deepen digital transformation, fully implement its All in AI strategy, accelerate the implementation of the AI Application No. 1 Project, Data Governance and Application No. 2 Project, and IT Innovation Security No. 3 Project, and promote the full-scenario, large-scale application of large models across all business areas.
