JPM: CCB  1Q Results Beat Forecasts Strongly

UBS's report highlights that mainland Chinese banks, particularly state-owned ones, exceeded expectations in Q1, with an average revenue growth of 8.5%. This growth was driven by a rebound in net interest margin (NIM), resilient fee income, and a low trading income base. Despite higher provisioning, earnings grew by 3.4%. UBS favors defensive, high-dividend bank stocks like CCB and ICBC, but warns of deteriorating retail loan asset quality, which may affect earnings growth differently between large state-owned and joint-stock banks.

HSBC Research: China Banks 1Q Results Beat; Fundamentals Expected to Further Improve This Year

China's Big Four banks reported stronger-than-expected first-quarter earnings, with combined net profit reaching approximately 305 billion yuan (US$44.6 billion). This growth was driven by a recovery in net interest income, which rose over 7%, and improved asset quality. Analysts noted resilient loan growth, particularly in government-related sectors like infrastructure and manufacturing. The banks are increasingly supporting policy priorities, with significant increases in loans to technology firms and manufacturing.
