On May 22, following the China Securities Regulatory Commission's (CSRC) proposal to impose a fine of approximately 1.85 billion yuan (about $271 million) on Futu for its related cross-border business activities, the market is focusing on its profitability and actual pressure levels. Futu Holdings' financial report for 2025 shows that the company achieved total revenue of 22.847 billion Hong Kong dollars, a year-on-year increase of 68.1%; the Non-GAAP net profit reached 11.645 billion Hong Kong dollars (about $1.49 billion), a year-on-year increase of 101.9%. Based on the profit scale, the proposed fine accounts for about 18% of Futu's 2025 Non-GAAP net profit. Market analysts believe that, given its current profitability, Futu has the capacity to bear the related fines, but the tightening of regulations on cross-border business may have a lasting impact on the industry's future business models. Previously, the CSRC announced that the illegal cross-border business activities of Tiger Brokers (NZ) Limited, Futu Securities International (Hong Kong) Limited, and Changqiao Securities (Hong Kong) Limited violated Chinese securities, fund, and futures laws and regulations, undermining market order and must be firmly cracked down upon. According to relevant regulations, the CSRC intends to confiscate all illegal gains of Tiger, Futu, and Changqiao's domestic and foreign entities and impose severe penalties according to the law.
