3. Many banks tighten the "change portfolio"

Recently, a number of banks have begun to intensively tighten the business of "change portfolio" wealth management products. Some banks have suspended the new subscription service of "Change Portfolio", and customers who have already signed up can continue to use it normally, while some banks have completed adjustments and updated the redemption amount, redemption function, subscription amount, etc. In addition, the reporter found that compared with the middle of last year, many banks have weakened the exposure entrance of "change combination" products.

On April 15, Yonghui Supermarket issued the "Announcement on the Company's Chairman's Plan to Increase the Company's Shares". According to the announcement, based on the confidence in the company's future sustainable development and the recognition of the company's long-term investment value, as well as maintaining the stability of the company's stock price and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of all shareholders of the company, Zhang Xuansong, chairman of Yonghui, plans to increase his holdings of the company's shares through centralized bidding transactions, with an increase of not less than 250 million yuan and no more than 450 million yuan. As of April 15, 2024, Zhang Xuansong and his concerted actors held approximately 1.231 billion shares of Yonghui Supermarket, accounting for 13.57%. Analysts said that the company's chairman actively participated in the shareholding increase plan, which not only showed his confidence in the company's future development, but also showed that the company's shares are currently in a value depression. Judging from the performance forecast previously announced by Yonghui, the company expects that the net profit attributable to the parent company in 2023 will decrease by 1.42 billion yuan year-on-year, and the net profit attributable to the parent company after deducting non-profits will decrease by 600 million yuan year-on-year. In the face of the triple challenges of shrinking consumer demand, supply shocks, and weakening expectations, the company's operating capacity in 2023 will still be considerably improved compared with the previous year, releasing a positive signal.
