Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The earnings call presented a resilient performance: modest but positive profit growth, strong deposit and AUM expansion, notable retail and international/ subsidiaries progress, and meaningful technology/AI-driven efficiency gains. Key weaknesses are continued NIM compression, slightly lower capital and allowance-coverage metrics, modest top-line growth, and pockets of retail and property-related credit stress. Management’s tone is confident and proactive — emphasizing disciplined liability management, fee diversification, capital stewardship, and accelerated AI/digital and international initiatives to offset margin pressures.
Company Guidance
The guidance emphasized sticking to a “value‑creation” strategy focused on three core capabilities (wealth management, digital/AI-first technology and risk) and four initiatives (including faster international and comprehensive development), while managing capital, margin and asset quality: management said it will aim to keep NIM at an industry‑leading level (2025 NIM 1.87%, down 11bps y/y) and expects NIM to continue to decline but with a smaller magnitude than 2025 and to seek stability—targeting normalization by H2 2026; it will optimize RWA growth around the mid‑to‑high single digits (~9–10%) and preserve strong capital (2025 AMA core Tier‑1 14.16%/Tier‑1 16.51%/CAR 18.27%; standardized core Tier‑1 11.92%/Tier‑1 13.90%/CAR 15.00) while keeping dividend policy balanced; the bank will defend ROE (2025 ROAE 13.44%) with a management objective to avoid sustained falls toward the low teens (management cited a ~10% floor as a reference), push further into wealth (retail AUM >RMB17tn; retail deposits RMB4.5tn), broaden corporate and cross‑border growth (2025 loans RMB7.26tn; total assets >RMB13tn; customer deposits RMB9.84tn; overseas assets +12.88% and overseas NOI +33.78% in 2025), accelerate digital/AI investment (IT spend RMB12.9bn = 4.31% of NOI; R&D staff >11,000; avg token throughput +10.1x; >10,000 large‑model developers; 183 domain models; 800+ applications), maintain cost efficiency (cost‑to‑income 32.01%), and keep asset quality under control (2025 NPL balance RMB68.2bn, NPL ratio 0.94%, credit cost 0.60%, allowance coverage 391.79%), with continued emphasis on prudent pricing, liability management and capital allocation to support sustainable, higher‑quality growth.
