On May 26, Agricultural Bank of China fell 3.04% in regular trading, trading at HKD 5.74/share, with trading volume of HKD 346 million.

On the news front, Agricultural Bank of China has been intensively issuing Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) non-capital bonds to meet global systemically important bank regulatory requirements. The bank completed a RMB 30 billion second tranche on May 19, comprising RMB 16 billion of 4-year bonds at 1.75%, RMB 13 billion of 6-year bonds at 1.92%, and RMB 1 billion of 11-year bonds at 2.23%. Combined with its first tranche of RMB 50 billion issued in April, the bank has raised RMB 80 billion year-to-date through TLAC instruments alone. The concentrated large-scale debt issuance, coupled with executive personnel changes, has continued to suppress market sentiment.

Within the Diversified Banks sector, performance remained mixed. HSBC Holdings rose 0.76%, BOC Hong Kong gained 0.37%, while CCB fell 0.57%, Bank of China declined 0.76%, and ICBC dropped 1.17%. Notably, China Ping An Insurance increased its stake in Agricultural Bank of China in mid-May, acquiring over 100 million shares at approximately HKD 6.07-6.08 per share.
