发布时间:2026-05-04 来源:华泰证券
For 1Q26,CCB's revenue/attributable net profit/PPOP increased by 11.1/3.5/13.7%YoY(+9.3/+2.5/+11.7pp vs 2025).Revenue growth in 1Q reached asix-year high,driven by interest income growth from improved interest margins,in our view.Annualized ROA/ROE declined by 0.05/0.57pp YoY to 0.75/9.85%,mainly due to the expanded net asset base after the 2025 rights issue.Overall,we believe CCB's operations remain stable and coordinated,adhering to the principle of'seeking progress while maintaining stability'.The bank is taking market opportunities in the early stage of the 15th Five-Year Plan period with aview to enhancing its capacity to contribute to national development,prevent financial risks,and engage in international competition.Maintain BUY on the A-/H-shares.
Steady expansion and structural optimization
As of end-1Q26,total assets/loans/deposits had increased by 10.1/7.1/6.5%YoY(-2.3/-0.3/-0.9pp vs 2025),indicating aslowdown but still steady growth.Credit issuance had astrong start to the year thanks to structure optimization.The focus of new credit issuance has sharpened on the real economy.Of the RMB1.15tn in new loans in 1Q26,corporate loans accounted for RMB1.25tn,representing 108.6%,the main source of new loans.Retail loans increased by RMB81.8bn,accounting for 7.1%,with moderate growth.Bill discounting declined by RMB18bn,accounting for-15.7%.Loans in five key sectors achieved rapid growth.For 1Q26,net interest margin was 1.36%(+2bp vs 2025),an initial sign of improvement in funding costs.Net interest income increased by 8.1%YoY,reflecting strong earnings momentum.
Higher non-interest income contribution and adequate capital
For 1Q26,non-interest income grew by 20.0%YoY,with growth up by 2.5pp vs 2025.Net fee and commission income rose by 6.7%YoY(+1.6pp vs 2025),which we attribute to the recovery in agency services and asset management.Other non-interest income jumped 66.7%YoY,with growth+25.8pp vs 2025,mainly due to the reversal of fair value changes and asignificant increase in exchange gains.Specifically,fair value changes amounted to RMB3,327mn(compared with aloss of RMB2,716mn in 1Q25),effectively supporting the result,while exchange gains grew 29.7%YoY.Investment income was largely flat YoY.As of end-1Q26,the capital adequacy ratio(CAR)/core Tier-1 CAR was 19.00/14.26%,down by 69/37bp vs end-2025.Nevertheless,the capital cushion remains strong,well above regulatory requirements,providing support for steady business expansion and sustainable dividends.
Value A-/H-shares at 0.88/0.68x 2026E PB
Given the interest margin recovery,we forecast net profit of RMB349.9/367.6/390.0bn for 2026/2027/2028(+0.8/+3.1/+6.2%vs our previous estimate),with 2026E BVPS at RMB14.19,implying an A-/H-share PB ratio of 0.69/0.55x.Considering the progress the company has made its'New Finance'initiative and strong revenue growth relative to the large banks,we value its A-/H-shares at 0.88/0.67x 2026E PB(previous:0.86/0.66x),above their peers'average of 0.70/0.55x on Wind consensus(previous:0.73/0.57x).Our target prices are RMB12.49 and HKD10.93(previous:RMB12.19 and HKD10.64).Maintain BUY on both.
Risks:Weaker policy implementation/economic recovery than we expect.
