Core Viewpoint - The financial sector in the A-share market has been a key driver of the index's performance since 2025, despite facing complex domestic and international challenges. The sector's stock price performance has been counter-cyclical, supported by a recovering capital market and improved earnings [2][3]. Financial Sector Performance - Agricultural Bank of China has seen a remarkable stock price increase of 56% this year, breaking free from the "price-to-book" constraint, which opens up new valuation possibilities for bank stocks [3][10]. - Despite the strong performance of some banks, the overall banking sector remains trapped in a "price-to-book" dilemma, reflecting valuation challenges and limiting its ability to serve the real economy [3][4]. Valuation Challenges - The banking sector has experienced a continuous "price-to-book" ratio below 1 for seven consecutive years, with the current ratio at 0.56 compared to the broader A-share index at 1.79 [4]. - Factors contributing to this prolonged "price-to-book" issue include external economic downturns, insufficient growth, narrowing net interest margins, and concerns over asset quality [4][5]. Profitability and Regulatory Environment - The net interest margin for commercial banks is at a historical low of 1.42%, down 11 basis points year-on-year, which constrains profitability [5]. - Regulatory pressures on intermediary income sources and a trend of declining interest margins further limit banks' profit potential [5][6]. Impact of "Price-to-Book" on Operations - The "price-to-book" situation has created a "cascading effect," restricting banks' capital replenishment channels, limiting credit expansion, and leading to declining profitability [6]. - Banks face challenges in refinancing due to restrictions on companies that are "broken" or "underwater," making it difficult to raise capital through equity markets [6]. Strategic Shifts in Banking - Some banks have shifted to conservative operational strategies, leading to a contraction in business development and, in some cases, a "balance sheet shrinkage" [7]. - The focus on supporting the real economy and achieving financial goals requires banks to enhance their credit offerings and service capabilities [7][9]. Future Outlook and Valuation Recovery - The banking sector may be entering a long-term trend of valuation recovery, with major state-owned banks showing strong stock performance and several banks achieving historical highs [8][9]. - Analysts predict that the competitive landscape will lead to a "Matthew effect," where larger banks benefit more from policy support, while smaller banks struggle to improve valuations [9]. Stock Performance Data - As of December 1, 2025, the stock performance of various banks shows significant gains, with Agricultural Bank leading at 56.35%, followed by Xiamen Bank and Qingdao Bank with over 30% increases [10][11].

Quantitative Models and Construction Methods 1. Model Name: Liquidity Impact Coefficient Model - **Model Construction Idea**: This model measures the liquidity impact of index adjustments on individual stocks by calculating the ratio of net fund flows to the stock's recent average daily trading volume[12][13] - **Model Construction Process**: The liquidity impact coefficient for a stock is calculated as follows: $$ impact_{i} = \sum_{k=1}^{N} \frac{\Delta weight_{k,i} \times AUM_{k}}{amt\_avg_{i,20}} $$ - \( \Delta weight_{k,i} \): Estimated weight change of stock \( i \) in index \( k \) - \( AUM_{k} \): Total assets under management of passive products tracking index \( k \) as of the end of November - \( amt\_avg_{i,20} \): Average daily trading volume of stock \( i \) over the past 20 trading days as of the end of November[12][13] - **Model Evaluation**: The model provides a quantitative framework to estimate short-term liquidity shocks caused by index adjustments, but it is subject to data discrepancies and assumptions, which may lead to deviations from actual results[13] --- Model Backtesting Results Liquidity Impact Coefficient Model - **Top 5 Stocks with Highest Positive Impact Coefficients**: - Zhangjiagang Bank (002839 CH): 11.55[15] - Jiangzhong Pharmaceutical (600750 CH): 11.44[15] - Tower Group (002233 CH): 11.04[15] - Jichuan Pharmaceutical (600566 CH): 10.14[15] - Zhengbang Technology (002157 CH): 9.99[15] - **Top 5 Stocks with Highest Negative Impact Coefficients**: - Shenzhen Expressway (600548 CH): -24.95[16] - Vanward Electric (002543 CH): -20.90[16] - Aviation Materials (688563 CH): -14.06[16] - Huaxi Biology (688363 CH): -10.81[16] - Ninghu Expressway (600377 CH): -10.54[16] --- Quantitative Factors and Construction Methods 1. Factor Name: Net Fund Flow Factor - **Factor Construction Idea**: This factor estimates the net fund inflow or outflow for stocks due to index adjustments, based on changes in index weights and the total AUM of passive products tracking the index[9][10] - **Factor Construction Process**: - Outflow Amount: Total AUM of linked products multiplied by the stock's actual weight in the index as of the end of November - Inflow Amount: Total AUM of linked products multiplied by the estimated weight of the stock in the index post-adjustment - Weight estimation is based on free-float market capitalization and index-specific weighting rules, such as dividend yield weighting or market capitalization weighting[9][10] - **Factor Evaluation**: The factor provides a transparent and systematic approach to estimate fund flows, but it is sensitive to assumptions about future index weights and AUM changes[9][10] --- Factor Backtesting Results Net Fund Flow Factor - **Top 5 Stocks with Highest Net Fund Inflows**: - Victory Precision (300476 CH): 112.61 billion CNY[10] - Dongshan Precision (002384 CH): 99.32 billion CNY[10] - Guangqi Technology (002625 CH): 77.81 billion CNY[10] - Sugon Information (603019 CH): 65.44 billion CNY[10] - Top Group (601689 CH): 53.07 billion CNY[10] - **Top 5 Stocks with Highest Net Fund Outflows**: - China Mobile (600941 CH): -40.02 billion CNY[11] - CRRC Corporation (601766 CH): -36.40 billion CNY[11] - Aluminum Corporation of China (601600 CH): -34.29 billion CNY[11] - TCL Zhonghuan (002129 CH): -30.07 billion CNY[11] - Huagong Tech (000988 CH): -27.44 billion CNY[11]
