Multiple downsides have suppressed the British stock market for a long time: weak capital investment, high inflation expectations, and scarce AI track targets, compounded by fiscal and debt concerns, continued to drag down the market after Brexit. However, the agency believes that it is inappropriate to be bearish on British stocks at this stage. Among the G10 economies, the UK stock market's free cash flow valuation is highly attractive, and the discount price of financial stocks compared to European peers has reached a 30-year high. The UK's high 10-year nominal yield mainly reflects inflation expectations rather than debt credit risk. It is worth noting that the technology exposure of British stocks is extremely low, and the technology sector accounts for less than 1% of profits. Against the backdrop of increased volatility in global AI-related technology stocks and the market questioning large returns on AI infrastructure investments, British stocks have naturally become a hedging choice for technology bulls. Historical data shows that when the technology sector weakens, the British market often performs well. Many leading British consumers and industries have strong profit resilience and diverse overseas layouts. Cash flow returns are superior to European peers, but they have lost their previous valuation premiums. Recently, profit expectations for local sectors such as banking, food retail, and telecommunications have risen, compounded by the IMF's increase in the UK's growth forecast, and fundamentals have picked up marginally. Overall, the size of the London stock market is shrinking and macroeconomic pressure still exists, but pessimistic expectations are mostly reflected in stock prices. Currently, there is an opportunity to lay out highly resilient value targets.
