In addition, Jiangsu Zijin Rural Commercial Bank Co.Ltd(601860) also disclosed the announcement on the plan to stabilize the stock price on the same day. Since the closing price of the company’s shares for 20 consecutive trading days from November 24, 2021 to December 21, 2021 is lower than the net assets per share audited and adjusted in the latest period, reaching the starting conditions for triggering measures to stabilize the stock price, the bank plans to perform the obligation of stabilizing the stock price by increasing the shares held by the directors (excluding independent directors) and senior executives who receive remuneration in the company, The increase amount shall not be less than 25% of the after tax income received from the company in the previous year, that is, the total increase amount shall not be less than 1736100 yuan.

Institutions are optimistic about the layout window of bank stocks in January
In the past 2021, the banking sector rose and fell, and the valuation was at a historical and market low. As of January 5, 2022, more than 80% of the 41 bank stocks of A-Shares have “broken the net”.
China Merchants Securities Co.Ltd(600999) Liao Zhiming, chief analyst of banking industry, pointed out in the research report that the performance of banking stocks in 2021 was greatly affected by the expectation of economic downturn and the crisis of individual real estate enterprises. The central economic work conference held in mid December 2021 proposed that “all regions and departments should shoulder the responsibility of stabilizing the macro economy, actively launch policies conducive to economic stability, and the policy force should be appropriately advanced.” The focus of the policy shifted to steady growth. Although the market recognized the policy shift, the worrying effect was limited, and the expectation of economic downturn was still strong, which suppressed the performance of bank stocks.
In Liao Zhiming’s view, the financial data in January and the strength of policies before the Spring Festival have become the key to the short term. “In the past, at the beginning of the policy shift, the market often worried about the effect of the policy adjustment. Because the rise of the bank stock market is usually not very high and rises rapidly, it is difficult to layout on the right. The stock price reflects the expected change. When the economic effect is reflected, the bank stock may have risen significantly.” Liao Zhiming believes that January is a better time window on the left, and continues to take a clear-cut stand in recommending the banking sector.
Everbright Securities Company Limited(601788) Wang Yifeng, chief analyst of banking industry, pointed out in the research report that the performance of bank stock prices in 2022 can be moderately optimistic. “From the performance of the banking sector in recent five years, in addition to the abnormal impact of the epidemic in 2020, the growth of the banking sector in the first quarter / January of 2017-2019 and 2021 were 4.0% / 4.5%, – 2.1% / 12.5%, 4.0% / 8.2% and 11.9% / 7.5% respectively. Among them, the growth of the banking sector in January ranked among the top five sectors, outperforming the CSI 300 index by 2.1, 6.4, 1.9 and 2.8pct respectively, with a better relative income performance OK. ”
In addition, judging from Bank Of Chengdu Co.Ltd(601838) which was the first one to announce the performance forecast for 2021, its preliminary calculated performance is bright. The bank expects that the net profit attributable to shareholders of Listed Companies in 2021 will increase by 1.085 billion yuan to 1.507 billion yuan compared with the same period of last year, with a year-on-year increase of 18% ~ 25%; The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies after deducting non recurring profits and losses will increase by 1.090 billion yuan to 1.512 billion yuan compared with the same period of last year, with a year-on-year increase of 18% ~ 25%. The performance growth significantly exceeds its performance growth in 2020.
