Technical tracker - HLIB Retail Research –26 April 2022
Thematic: BANKING- A good defensive play amid adversities
Despite a commendable gain YTD, we continue to see more upside in KLFIN as the banking sector is now trading at inexpensive -1SD 1.1x FY22 P/B . Taking the 2008 subprime crisis as a reference, the rally from -2SD to -1SD so far in KLFIN suggests more room to go as the KLFIN rallied 3SD notches and peaked at +1STD during the 2009-2010 recovery period . While we note that the current recovery trend will be relatively rocky compared to the 2009-2010 period due to the heightened geopolitical risk, supply chain disruption and global central banks aggressive tightening policies, we reckon KLFIN should trade near its 5-year average P/B in a conservative stance, supported by solid earnings recovery. Hence, the recent weakness in KLFIN provides a good opportunity for investors to accumulate, in anticipation of a further mean reversal.
