Investment advice

There are two strong supports for bank stocks:

First, the policy level strongly supports banks to improve the sustainable growth of bank driven loans. First, reduce the deposit reserve ratio by 0.25 percentage points, and the surplus deposit reserve can be used to support loans. Secondly, large banks are encouraged to reduce the provision coverage, which is conducive to the release of profits: the provision is a deduction item in the balance sheet, that is, the loan data in the balance sheet is net (total loan – provision), and the provision reduction is completed through the gradual decline of the expenditure item [credit impairment loss] in the income statement, which corresponds to the increase of residual income. That is, the current provision decreases, the profit increases, the residual income increases, the capital adequacy ratio increases, and the sustainability of loans increases.

Second, from the perspective of supplementary capital of listed banks. By the end of the first quarter, listed banks had issued capital financial bonds of up to 330 billion yuan (the total amount is 498.5 billion yuan of financial bonds, but the amount of general financial bonds is 170 billion yuan. This part is bonds payable, not used to supplement capital. After excluding, it is recorded that the amount that can be used to supplement all kinds of capital is 3300 yuan), According to the data calculation in 2021, the average capital leveraging loan coefficient of listed banks is 8, so 330 billion yuan corresponds to 2.6 trillion loans. What I want to add here is that the capital leverage coefficient is the amount of new loans brought by the increase of unit capital. The average value of this proportion of the whole listed banks in 2021 is 8.2, It is a new loan scale of 2.6 trillion. Therefore, from the perspective of bank capital, the supporting force of follow-up loan growth is also relatively strong.

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, Industrial Bank Co.Ltd(601166) , 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) .
