Banking - Seizing Opportunity Amid Uncertainty

Seizing Opportunity Amid Uncertainty Highlights  The sector continues to offer attractive dividend yields in excess of 5%, with further capital management upside remaining intact.  Even with a severe case scenario of a 50bp OPR cut, we estimate sector earnings would decline by only ~6%, with dividend yields still holding at an attractive ~5.2%,  Maintain OVERWEIGHT.

Greater China Sector Update | China Property Seazen’s C-REIT application signals improving financing channels. Sector fundamentals remain weak, with 2M26 developers’ contract sales and major cities’ new-home data still under pressure, despite relatively resilient secondary transactions. Second-hand property prices modestly recovered mom in four Tier 1 cities. We maintain UNDERWEIGHT but see potential policy after the March NPC. Our top pick is CR Land, trading at 0.65x 26PB, 0.6SD below mean...

Regional Morning Meeting Notes: Monday, October 27, 2025

Greater China Sector Update | Internet Data from the initial phase of the 11.11 campaign set a compelling prelude for a mid-single-digit GMV growth in 4Q25. The new phase of 11.11 is characterised by a longer cycle, simplified promotion mechanics, and deeper technological integration. Platform competition has shifted from “traffic wars” to “efficiency wars”, as AI enhances demand-supply matching and instant retail breaks offline barriers, reducing consumer decision costs.
