The combination of steady growth policies continued to work, which was conducive to the improvement of the valuation of the banking sector. In the last week, the real estate sector has received positive signals, including the lower limit of the first house interest rate cut by 20bps + interest rate cut (the five-year LPR cut by 15bps to 4.45%), and the policy is directly oriented to the demand side, which is expected to reduce residents’ house purchase costs and boost market confidence. If the housing market can recover in the future, it will benefit the relevant credit demand of banks, improve asset quality and support valuation repair.
On the whole, the current valuation of the banking sector is only 0.55 times Pb, which is basically at the lowest level in history. It has reflected pessimistic expectations on the economy and the downward interest margin. The impact of the subsequent epidemic has gradually subsided and the steady growth policy has been implemented and reflected the effect, which is conducive to the expectation of economic stabilization in the future and the fundamentals of banks. Extremely undervalued value + low position level (Q1 is only 4.02%, which is at the position of 1 / 3 in recent 10 years, and it is expected to rise to the level of 5% – 6% in the stage of wide credit) + the performance of high-quality banks has increased steadily, and the banking sector has great room for repair.
