"Investors expect earnings in the fourth quarter to be as good as in the third, if not better, as they see the economy is well on track to a recovery," said Zhang Zhuo, an analyst at Galaxy Securities Co. "That would provide the driving force for a steady rise in stocks, despite pressures from share sales, including initial public offerings."
But Datong Securities analyst Wang Zhihong was less optimistic. "The big money won't come in without seeing a clear recovery in corporate earnings and a decrease in fundraising activities," he said.
