Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Positive" investment rating for the banking sector [10] Core Insights - The report highlights a positive outlook for active funds gradually correcting the long-standing underweight in bank stocks. With stable fundamentals, the combination of high dividend logic, expansion of passive funds, and increased allocation by active funds is expected to drive the continuous recovery of undervalued bank stocks [2][6] - The market will begin to focus on quality bank stocks at low valuations, particularly those that have been suppressed by various factors.
