China Development Bank Financial Leasing lifts 2025 profit as operating lease share grows

An update from China Development Bank Financial Leasing Co Ltd Class H ( (HK:1606) ) is now available.

China Development Bank Financial Leasing reported that in 2025 its total lease revenue slipped slightly to RMB24.61 billion, as finance lease income declined while operating lease income continued to grow. Overall revenue and other income edged down to RMB28.28 billion, but tighter cost management, lower interest expenses, and improved asset quality helped lift net profit to RMB5.03 billion, with earnings per share rising to RMB0.40.

The revenue mix continued to shift toward operating leases, which contributed 54.1% of operating income versus 32.9% from finance leases, highlighting a strategic tilt toward recurring rental income and asset-heavy leasing. Impairment losses increased compared with 2024 but remained below earlier peak levels, suggesting ongoing credit risk normalisation, while the stronger profitability underscores resilient operations and may support confidence among shareholders and creditors despite modest top-line pressure.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1606) stock is a Hold with a HK$2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on China Development Bank Financial Leasing Co Ltd Class H stock, see the HK:1606 Stock Forecast page.
