Positive Outlook for 2026 - The overall judgment is that the situation in 2026 will be better than in 2025, driven by stable basis points, improving fees, and gains from old bonds [3]. 6.

Performance of Specific Banks - Notable banks such as China Merchants Bank and Industrial Bank showed positive revenue growth, with some banks transitioning from negative to positive growth [6][7]. - City commercial banks like Nanjing Bank and Qingdao Bank reported double-digit revenue growth, indicating strong performance [7][10]. 8. Asset Quality and Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) - The asset quality remains stable, with many banks reporting a decrease in NPL ratios. For instance, Qingdao Bank's NPL ratio dropped significantly [10][11]. - The overall trend suggests a gradual improvement in asset quality, with expectations for continued stability in 2026 [11][12]. 9. Credit Growth and Demand - Credit growth is expected to remain strong, particularly in major provinces like Sichuan and Jiangsu, which reported credit growth rates above 8% [12][13]. - The demand for corporate loans remains robust, while retail loan demand is weaker [12]. 10. Future Risks and Projections - There are concerns regarding the potential exposure of retail loans, particularly in mortgage and consumer credit segments, but the overall increase in NPLs is expected to be limited [16][17]. - Projections for 2025 indicate a slight increase in NPL ratios for retail loans, but overall asset quality is expected to remain stable [17][18]. 11. Revenue Growth Expectations - The banking sector is projected to achieve a revenue growth rate of approximately 1.2% year-on-year, with city commercial banks leading in net profit growth [19][20]. 12. Stock Selection Strategy - The stock selection strategy emphasizes high ROE and high dividend yield, with recommendations for both Hong Kong and A-share listed banks [20][21]. Additional Important Insights - The conference highlighted the importance of wealth management in driving fee income, with expectations for continued positive contributions to revenue [19]. - The overall sentiment is optimistic regarding the banking sector's ability to navigate challenges and capitalize on growth opportunities in the coming years [22].
