Summary by Sections Intrinsic Value and Its Determinants - Intrinsic value is determined by both internal and external factors, with the Dividend Discount Model (DDM) being a conservative approach to assess it through current and future dividends [2]. - Internal factors include current dividends and their growth, which should be viewed over a long-term horizon of fifty to sixty years rather than just short-term fluctuations [2][3].

Comparison with Market Average - The article highlights that while bank profit growth has decreased, the average profit levels in the economy have decreased even more, suggesting that banks remain relatively more profitable [3][4]. - The concept of relative advantage is crucial; even if a bank's absolute performance declines, its valuation can still increase if it outperforms the average [4]. Investment Strategy and Market Dynamics - Investors should adopt a long-term view and consider comparative advantages when analyzing banks, recognizing the unique characteristics of different banks based on their regional and operational factors [5]. - Many strong banks currently offer dividend yields around 5%, and despite the challenges of a declining interest rate environment, they still exhibit growth potential, leading to attractive annualized returns [5].

Systemic support from China's large market size and complete industrial chain [8]. 2. The emergence of new industries like AI and renewable energy, enhancing overall productivity [8]. 3. A robust policy toolbox, including a projected fiscal deficit rate of around 4% for 2025, providing flexibility to counter external shocks [8]. 4. The current low valuation of Chinese assets, indicating significant room for recovery and growth [9].
