Industry Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is maintained at "Outperform the Market" [1][27]. Core Viewpoints - Despite a recent pullback in bank stock prices, the long-term positive outlook for the banking sector remains intact due to several factors, including expected marginal improvements in fundamentals and ongoing valuation recovery driven by increased capital inflows [2][21]. Summary by Relevant Sections Recent Market Performance - Since July 11, bank stock prices have experienced a notable decline, with the banking index down 3.41% as of July 18. This pullback is attributed to strong prior gains, profit-taking by investors, and short-term selling pressure from dividend-related strategies [2][12]. Fundamental Improvements - The first half of 2025 is expected to reflect some marginal improvements in bank performance, driven by stabilized net interest margins, improved non-interest income, and a favorable asset quality outlook [2][13][14]. - Net interest margins are projected to stabilize due to easing credit supply-demand imbalances and the expiration of high-interest deposits [17]. - Non-interest income is anticipated to improve as the decline in management fees narrows and the bond market recovers [17]. Valuation Recovery - The banking sector's valuation recovery is expected to continue, supported by low interest rates and a scarcity of attractive assets, making bank stocks appealing due to their high dividend yields [18][20]. - As of July 18, the banking sector's dividend yield stands at 4.47%, with a price-to-book (PB) ratio of 0.73, indicating a low valuation compared to other sectors [20]. - The influx of incremental capital, including long-term funds and public fund reforms, is likely to sustain the valuation recovery trend in the banking sector [20][21]. Investment Recommendations - The report recommends focusing on quality regional small banks such as Chengdu Bank and Changshu Bank, as well as major state-owned banks including Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China, and Postal Savings Bank of China [21].
