发布时间:2026-04-27 来源:华泰证券
In 1Q26,Bank of Shanghai(BoS)reported attributable NP/revenue/PPOP growth of+0.7%/+4.3%/+4.7%YoY(+2.7%/+3.4%/+4.0%YoY in 2025).Earnings growth in 2025 was in line with the profit alert as well as our previous expectations.Accelerated revenue growth in 1Q26 mainly came from stabilizing NIM and faster loan growth,while attributable NP was slightly affected by income tax rate change.The bank plans to pay a2025 dividend of RMB0.52 per share,implying an annual cash payout ratio of 31.59%(2024:31.22%)and adividend yield of 5.27%as of April 23,2026.The dividend value remains attractive,in our view.After factoring in dilution from convertible bonds,we estimate a2026E dividend yield of 4.69%.Maintain BUY.
Investment supports non-interest income
Non-interest income grew+2.9%YoY in 1Q26(25A:+4.5%),while its share of revenue fell by 0.5pp YoY to 38.3%.Fee and commission income fell 17.0%YoY in 1Q26(25A:-6.4%),reflecting negative YoY growth in corporate and cross-border businesses due to market demand and fee reduction measures.However,wealth management fee income reached RMB230mn(+7.53%YoY).Other non-interest income rose by+8.4%YoY in 1Q26(25A:+7.1%),reflecting the bank's active capture of market swings and cross-market,cross-asset trading opportunities,which preserved the contribution from core trading.The 25A cost-to-income ratio fell 0.5pp YoY to 23.3%,demonstrating continued optimization of operating costs.Income tax expense rose+29.7%YoY in 1Q26,which affected the timing of profit realization.This may be related to lower tax-exempt income from government bonds and funds,as well as the pace of write-offs.At end-March,the CAR and CET1 ratio were 14.02%and 10.73%,up by 0.02pp and 0.08pp from end-2025.
NPL formation declines;shareholder structure improves
At end-March,the NPL ratio and provision coverage ratio were 1.18%and 241%,flat and-4pp versus end-2025,respectively.Retail NPLs were still volatile,with the retail NPL ratio rising by 4bp from 1H25 to 1.34%at end-2025.The corporate NPL ratio fell by 1bp from end-1H25 to 1.35%.In 2025,the NPL formation ratio fell by 4bp from 1H25 to 1.42%,showing effective credit risk control.Forward-looking indicators fluctuated slightly,with the special-mention ratio at 2.12%at end-1Q26,up by 1bp from end-2025.Annualized credit cost was 0.92%in 1Q26,up 1bp YoY.In 4Q25,major shareholders,Shanghai Aliance Investment and SIPG,continued to raise their stakes,with holdings up by 0.01pp and 0.24pp to 14.73%and 8.54%.In 1Q26,China Life became anew top-10 shareholder with a2.82%stake.The positioning by long-term capital reflects recognition of the bank's stable value.
Maintain 0.67x 2026E target PB
Given tax-rate volatility,we forecast attributable NP of RMB24.7bn/RMB25.7bn/RMB27.1bn for 2026/2027/2028,down by 1.4%/1.3%against our previous 2026/2027 forecast.This implies YoY growth of 2.2%/3.9%/5.3%.We forecast 2026E BVPS of RMB18.50(previously RMB18.86),corresponding to 0.53x PB.Comparable banks are trading at 0.70x 2026E PB on Wind consensus(previously 0.67x).The bank is delivering stable earnings growth and ahigher payout ratio,while the new chairman may inject fresh growth momentum.In view of the fraught external environment,the market may pay greater heed to dividend value,and the bank's valuation may revert toward the peer average.We maintain a0.67x 2026E target PB(unchanged),but lower our target price to RMB12.40,down from RMB12.63.Maintain BUY.
Risks:Weaker-than-expected asset quality recovery,and weaker-than-expected earnings improvement.
