Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the valuation of growth stocks, emphasizing that traditional metrics like price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios may not be suitable during the early growth phase of a company, as they do not account for the dynamic nature of performance and market conditions [2][3]. Valuation Metrics - Price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is often used for high-growth companies that are not yet profitable or just turning profitable, while P/E ratios are more applicable to companies with accelerating earnings growth [2]. - The basic formula for P/E ratio is given as P/E = stock price / earnings per share or total market value / net profit [3]. Growth Phase Considerations - During the growth phase, especially in the early stages, it is inappropriate to discuss reasonable valuations based on traditional metrics like average industry valuations or dividends [3]. - The concept of safety margin is more relevant at the time of purchase rather than during the holding period, as future valuations may increase even if current valuations appear high [3]. Earnings Growth and Market Valuation - If a company has a current net profit of 1 billion and can achieve a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20% over five years, its future net profit could range from 2 billion to 3 billion, leading to a market cap of approximately 40 billion to 60 billion at a 20x P/E ratio [3]. - If the market recognizes the growth potential and assigns a higher valuation of 30x to 40x P/E, the company's market cap could rise to between 36 billion and 48 billion [3][4]. Market Dynamics and Valuation Adjustments - The article highlights that during a bull market, when certainty about future growth is high, valuations may be driven up excessively, leading to a situation where earnings growth does not keep pace with rising valuations [4]. - The adjustment phase often follows a period of high valuations, where stock prices may decline significantly as the market corrects itself [4]. Industry-Specific Analysis - Different industries may exhibit distinct cycles, with some experiencing more significant adjustments during downturns, while others may have clearer recovery points [4]. - For commodity-related cyclical stocks, the cheapest valuations often correspond to market peaks, necessitating close monitoring of commodity prices [4]. Investment Strategy - The article mentions the "雪球三分法" (Snowball Three-Point Method), which advocates for long-term investment and asset allocation through diversification across assets, markets, and timing to achieve diversified investment returns and risk mitigation [4].

The ongoing decline in risk-free interest rates continues to attract long-term funds to bank stocks, which maintain a dividend yield above 4% [7].

Some believe that the ability to invest in bank stocks depends on individual investment strategies, with value investors encouraged to buy during price corrections [8][9]. - There is a sentiment that despite the significant rise in bank stocks, many still trade below their book value, indicating potential for further appreciation.

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of asset allocation as a proactive strategy in navigating market uncertainties, suggesting that investors should focus on configuring their portfolios rather than attempting to predict market movements [2][4].

Group 2: Essence of Asset Allocation - The essence of asset allocation is to avoid concentrating investments in a single area, promoting the idea of diversification across various asset classes [5]. - The Nobel laureate Harry Markowitz's principle of diversification is highlighted, stating that true diversification involves balancing assets across three dimensions: asset types, markets, and time [6]. Group 3: Diversification Dimensions - **Asset Diversification**: Investors should spread their assets across different types of investments, such as stocks for growth, bonds for stability, and gold/REITs for risk mitigation [7]. - **Market Diversification**: It is advised not to concentrate investments solely in one market, such as Chinese A-shares or US stocks, as different markets have low correlation, which can reduce overall portfolio volatility [8]. - **Time Diversification**: The article suggests using dollar-cost averaging to mitigate the risks of market timing, allowing for smoother investment experiences over longer periods [9]. Group 4: Investment Strategy - The article introduces a "three-part method" for asset allocation, dividing investments into three categories: cash protection, stable returns, and long-term growth [10][11]. - A suggested allocation is 20% in cash protection (money market funds and bank products), 40% in stable returns (bond funds and mixed funds), and 40% in long-term growth (index funds) [12][13].

Group 2: Valuation Comparisons - In contrast to Chinese financial institutions, major global banks like JPMorgan have a price-to-book ratio of 2.4, while European and Japanese banks hover around 1.0, highlighting a significant undervaluation of Chinese financial stocks [5]. - The extreme undervaluation of Chinese financial stocks, coupled with dividend yields of 6% to 8%, presents a unique investment opportunity in the global financial market [5]. Group 3: Regulatory Environment and Market Recovery - Since 2020, China's financial system has been in deep adjustment, focusing on reducing shadow banking and addressing real estate and local government debt risks, which has pressured profitability and valuation [6]. - Despite the challenges, this period has led to improved asset quality, with banks achieving a provisioning coverage ratio above 200% and stable capital adequacy ratios [6][7]. - The current policy environment is actively directing liquidity into the equity market, with regulatory measures encouraging insurance companies to allocate a significant portion of new premiums to A-shares [8][9].
