On May 28, Agricultural Bank of China (01288.HK) fell 3.09% in regular trading, trading at HKD 5.63/share, with trading volume of HKD 89.72 million. The decline extends a weak trend that has persisted since mid-May, with the stock having already dropped 3.13% on May 21.
On the news front, state-owned major banks continue to issue debt instruments at an intensive pace to meet Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) requirements. ICBC and Bank of Communications recently completed a combined RMB 100 billion bond issuance. Agricultural Bank of China itself has been actively issuing bonds to supplement capital, with concentrated large-scale debt instrument issuance suppressing market sentiment. Meanwhile, retail investors noted that the stock has erased its full-year dividend of RMB 0.25 per share through post-ex-dividend declines, leaving the current dividend yield at approximately 3.88%, which diminishes its yield attractiveness.
Within the Diversified Banks sector, the overall sector showed broad weakness. Among individual stocks, CCB down 1.98%, HSBC Holdings down 1.64%, ICBC down 2.23%, Bank of China down 1.93%, CM Bank up 0.52%.
