Multiple banks are undergoing intensive research! As of April 15, 2026, 10:53, the CSI Bank Index (399986) rose by 0.29%, with constituent stocks Agricultural Bank of China up 1.78%, Bank of Suzhou up 1.57%, and Bank of Chongqing up 1.53%. The bank ETF ChinaAMC (515020) increased by 0.53%, with the latest price reported at 1.70 yuan. With the annual report disclosure season approaching, market attention on the banking industry is rising. So far this year, 19 listed banks have collectively welcomed 668 institutional research visits. Banks in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai region, such as Bank of Nanjing, Bank of Jiangsu, and Bank of Shanghai, are receiving significant attention; the stabilization of net interest margins and bond investment returns have become core issues of concern, with many banks clearly addressing challenges by optimizing their asset-liability structures, controlling liability costs, and hedging interest rate risks. Industry insiders analyze that the intensive institutional research reflects the continued attractiveness of the sector; based on the research results, the fundamentals of quality regional banks are robust, and their proactive margin control helps stabilize market expectations. In addition, China Galaxy believes that the overall continuity and stability of dividends from listed banks, in the context of low interest rates and accelerated entry of medium to long-term funds into the market, give the banking sector's high dividend and low valuation attributes sustained appeal to long-term funds such as insurance capital, which will accelerate the reconstruction of valuation pricing. Meanwhile, the trend of improving performance fundamentals remains unchanged, and coupled with the rebound in demand for safe-haven assets due to geopolitical influences, the valuation repair of bank stocks is expected to continue, with optimism about the dividend value of the banking sector. The bank ETF ChinaAMC (515020) is the ETF with the lowest comprehensive fee rate tracking the CSI Bank Index (399986), with its Class A fund 008298; Class C fund 008299; and Class D fund 024642.
