Core Viewpoint - The recent volatility in the banking sector raises concerns about whether the sector has peaked, despite a strong performance in the first half of the year, with a nearly 17% increase in the Shenwan primary banking sector index and some individual stocks rising by as much as 38% [3][4]. Group 1: Dividend Yield and Policy Support - The weighted average dividend yield of the five major banks is 4.07%, significantly higher than the 10-year government bond yield of approximately 1.65%, resulting in a spread of 2.42%, which is at a notable 49.10% percentile level over the past decade, indicating a strong safety margin [5]. - Some high-quality city commercial banks, such as Jiangsu Bank and Nanjing Bank, have even higher dividend yields of 4.7% and 4.8%, respectively, making them attractive to investors [5]. - The central bank's commitment to increasing monetary policy adjustments suggests potential for further interest rate cuts, which would enhance the attractiveness of high-dividend banking stocks [5]. Group 2: Capital Inflows - Since the beginning of 2025, southbound capital has been aggressively purchasing Hong Kong banking stocks, with a net inflow of nearly 716.2 billion yuan into Hong Kong stocks, of which over 150 billion yuan has gone into banking stocks [6]. - Active public funds have also been gradually increasing their allocation to A-share banking stocks, with the allocation ratio rising to 3.75% by the end of the first quarter of 2025, indicating room for further investment in the banking sector [6]. Group 3: Earnings Stability - The stability of banking stock earnings is supported by substantial bond floating profits and ample provisioning reserves, providing a "double insurance" for profits [7]. - As of the end of the first quarter of 2025, the overall non-performing loan ratio for listed banks remained stable at 1.23%, with a high provisioning coverage ratio of 238%, indicating strong risk resilience [8]. - The net interest margin has shown signs of stabilization, with some banks experiencing improvements, supported by regulatory measures aimed at stabilizing interest margins [8]. Group 4: Market Sentiment and Future Outlook - The recent pullback in banking stocks is viewed as a normal market reaction following significant gains, rather than a signal of an end to the sector's performance [9]. - With strong dividend support, incoming insurance capital, stable earnings from floating profits and provisions, and policies aimed at stabilizing interest margins, the banking sector is likely to continue its positive trajectory [9].
