Report Industry Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly mention the industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints - The narrative logic has shifted, triggering a re - allocation of global funds. Since 2025, the low - interest - rate environment has driven institutional liability - side changes, first leading domestic institutions to re - focus on A - shares, and in 2026, there may be a re - allocation of global funds to A - shares and a re - evaluation of Chinese assets due to foreign capital inflows [2]. - The trend of foreign capital flowing back to China has just begun. Although there was an outflow of global funds from the Chinese market (A + H shares) from 2022 - 2024 and a reversal in 2025, global funds still under - allocate Chinese assets. Chinese assets, with their relatively low valuation, under - allocation in portfolios, and independent trends, may become a new choice [2]. - Amid the twists and turns of the US - Iran conflict, Chinese assets have shown resilience. China's industrial characteristics and diversified energy sources and consumption structure make it more capable of dealing with high - oil - price shocks [2]. - Trump's political demands and the potential run - on risk in the US private - credit market will restrict the Fed's tightening efforts. Even if the US - Iran conflict causes "stagflation", the obstacles for foreign capital to flow back to Chinese assets are relatively small [2]. - Foreign capital's preference has changed. Since 2025, foreign capital has increased its positions in advanced manufacturing and resource - related sectors. When foreign capital inflow becomes a reality, Chinese characteristic and advantageous assets will be preferred again [2]. Summary by Directory I. Chinese Assets' Advantages: Value Undervaluation + Low - Position Allocation + Independent Trends - **A - shares are at a low - lying area compared to global stock markets**: A - shares have lagged in long - term gains. In the past 3 and 5 years, affected by domestic deflation narratives, A - shares significantly underperformed European, American, and some Asian markets. In the past 1 year, although A - shares outperformed European and American markets, they still lagged behind some Asian markets. A - shares have strong profit - growth potential. From 2019 - 2024, the cumulative profit growth of the ChiNext Index components was 147.54%, and the predicted cumulative profit increase from 2025 - 2027 is 76.29%. The Chinese asset securitization rate (111.56%) is relatively low, indicating a large growth space for the total stock market value [8][9]. - **Global funds under - allocate Chinese assets**: From 2021 - 2024, foreign capital continuously reduced its allocation to Chinese assets due to factors like domestic deflation narratives and US investment restrictions. In 2025, it began to flow back. However, as of the first half of 2025, the allocation ratio of foreign investment portfolios to Chinese assets was 8.27 percentage points lower than the market - value share of Chinese assets [10]. - **A - shares have an independent trend from other markets**: Since 2021, the daily closing - price correlation coefficient between the ChiNext Index and other major overseas broad - based stock indices has mostly been below 20%, and even negative for some. During the US - Iran conflict, Chinese assets showed stronger resilience. For example, the ChiNext Index rose against the trend, and the decline of the Shanghai Composite Index was relatively small [13][14]. II. Driving Forces for Foreign Capital Inflow: Even in "Stagflation", China's Advantageous Trend Will Be Significant - **Stagflation experience: Valuation and profit dominate stock - market fluctuations**: Stagflation does not necessarily lead to a stock - market decline. In the three rounds of "stagflation" during the two oil crises and the Gulf War, the US stock market fell twice and rose once. Stagflation led to a US - stock - market decline mainly in two situations: high valuation with significant Fed rate hikes and profit decline. Otherwise, the market may not be under pressure [16][17]. - **China's industrial advantages strengthen profit resilience**: China has a diversified energy - consumption structure, with oil accounting for about 18% of energy consumption in 2024. In extreme cases, coal can fill the oil - supply gap, and new energy can reduce oil dependence. China also has diversified sources of oil - product imports. In 2024, the proportion of oil - product imports from the Middle East was 30.33%, lower than that of some neighboring regions. Even if the US - Iran conflict restricts oil supply and raises prices, China can maintain energy - supply stability and cost advantages, which is beneficial for corporate profits [24][26][28]. - **The pressure of US - dollar liquidity tightening is controllable**: There is a possibility of the US - Iran conflict easing. Trump may be more inclined to end the military operation in Iran due to political pressure. If a settlement is reached, the Fed's need to tighten liquidity will weaken. The private - credit risk in the US restricts the Fed's tightening space. Since the beginning of the year, the credit - risk events in the US private - credit market have intensified, and the secondary - market acceptance willingness is insufficient. If the Fed tightens liquidity rashly, it may accelerate the formation of a negative feedback loop [29][32][37]. III. Industry Allocation Insights: Pay Attention to the Change in Foreign Capital's Preference - In 2026, foreign capital is likely to be one of the incremental funds, and the sectors it prefers may achieve excess returns. From 2016 - 2019, when foreign capital increased its positions in Chinese assets, the sectors it focused on, such as household appliances, banks, and pharmaceutical biology, had good performance. Since 2025, foreign capital's preference has shifted to advanced manufacturing. In the fourth quarter of 2025, it mainly increased positions in advanced - manufacturing and resource sectors. China's technology industry has a structural advantage globally, and some technology sectors are expected to be the new focus of foreign - capital inflows [41][43][45].

Interest Margins: Input Inflation Delays Rate Cuts, Marginally Positive - The anticipated rise in inflation delays the pace of LPR cuts, reducing downward pressure on asset yields [19] - The cost of liabilities is expected to continue improving due to the ongoing repricing of high-cost deposits [17] - The overall interest margin is nearing its bottom, with limited downward space [18] 4. Asset Quality: Limited Marginal Risk Exposure, Overall Stability - The risk exposure from oil price-sensitive sectors is manageable, with only about 1.5% of total bank loans at risk [21][24] - Upstream sectors benefit from improved cash flow, while downstream sectors face potential credit risks, particularly among smaller enterprises [21][22] - The overall asset quality of banks is expected to remain stable, supported by high provisioning levels [30][28] 5.
