Investment advice
After two weeks of adjustment, the bank index fell slightly this week and gradually stabilized. With the continuous publication of annual reports, the market’s pessimism towards bank stocks has gradually weakened. The most reliable profit model in the A-share market is to track high-quality stocks for a long time and buy and hold them when their valuation is suppressed. After the sharp correction of share price, the expected rate of return of high-quality banks will be significantly improved. Our long-standing recommendation is to avoid judging the total credit data and give a direct answer from the changes of credit structure and the micro incentives of banks: the policy supported microenterprises + personal loans + wealth management + asset quality is still the gold portfolio. Keep the recommendation order unchanged, Bank Of Ningbo Co.Ltd(002142) , Bank Of Hangzhou Co.Ltd(600926) , China Merchants Bank Co.Ltd(600036) , Postal Savings Bank Of China Co.Ltd(601658) , Ping An Bank Co.Ltd(000001) .
