<li>Futu’s overseas expansion is quickly ramping up in Japan, Malaysia, and is progress steadily in Singapore and Australia. We expect the monetization in Malaysia begin in 2024.</li>
<li>We expect Futu 2Q23 revenue 4.5% higher than consensus, our non-GAAP NI 8.7% higher than consensus. We maintain BUY rating on FUTU and raise TP by US$4 to US$55.</li>
