Although the broker expected the policy might have a mild negative impact on industry profits, with a mid-single-digit decline in EPS anticipated, BOCI believed that the current stock price correction is excessive, mainly due to the combined effects of other factors, such as falling gold prices and profit taking amid the US government shutdowns.
