Core Viewpoint - The annual report of China Merchants Bank (CMB) for 2023 shows negative revenue growth but positive net profit growth, leading to a significant increase in stock price, indicating market satisfaction with the report. However, the overall economic environment presents more challenges than opportunities, and the actual operational difficulties outweigh the achievements [1][67]. Group 1: Revenue and Profit Analysis - CMB's total revenue for 2023 was 339.1 billion, a decrease of 1.64% compared to 2022, reflecting weakened earning capacity [19][80]. - Both net interest income and non-interest income experienced a decline of 1.6%, indicating a contraction in profit margins and a lack of growth in core business areas [20][82]. - The increase in net profit, despite falling revenue, was primarily due to a significant reduction in credit impairment losses, which decreased by approximately 150 billion, allowing for a positive net profit outcome [24][85]. Group 2: Cost Management and Efficiency - CMB has successfully reduced employee costs, with the average cost per employee decreasing from 625,000 to 604,000, despite an increase in the number of employees [15][16]. - The effectiveness of cost-cutting measures is questioned, as the overall reduction in employee costs is relatively low compared to other industries [16][18]. Group 3: Deposit Trends - There is a concerning trend of increasing "deposit regularization," with corporate fixed deposits rising from 22% to 24.7% and personal fixed deposits increasing from 14.87% to 20.4% [32][92]. - The high cost of deposits is a significant risk, as the bank's deposit rates remain elevated despite multiple reductions in deposit costs throughout the year [30][90]. Group 4: Insurance Income Challenges - CMB's non-interest income from insurance sales, which is a crucial revenue source, is expected to face significant challenges in 2024 due to declining pricing and regulatory changes [36][98]. - The overall income from insurance sales increased by 9.33% to 136 billion, but this growth is overshadowed by declines in other areas such as fund and trust sales [37][98]. Group 5: Market Position and Future Outlook - CMB has played a role in driving the bond bull market, with bond interest income increasing by over 20%, which has helped offset some revenue losses [43][104]. - The bank is focusing on overseas markets, with a 14.78% increase in foreign exchange net income, indicating a strategic shift to capture new revenue streams [47][48].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core View of the Report - The pressure on CDs to "increase prices for volume" is relatively controllable, and there's no need to overly worry about banks' liability - side. Despite a significant increase in CD maturities this week and short - term fluctuations in capital prices, CDs did not "increase prices for volume", indicating a strong continuation of long - term bank deposits after maturity. The current capital frictions are mainly short - term, such as new share subscriptions on the Beijing Stock Exchange and delayed reverse repurchase placements. The central bank actively smoothed out capital fluctuations, and CDs are expected to fluctuate around 1.65% with limited price - increasing pressure [2][46]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents Supply: Net financing declines, and the term structure lengthens - This week (January 12 - January 18), CD issuance was 553.58 billion yuan, with a net financing of - 254.88 billion yuan (compared to - 153.30 billion yuan from January 5 - January 11).

The 1M, 6M, 9M, and 1Y varieties each decreased by 1BP compared to last week, the 3M remained unchanged, and the 1Y remained at the 2% historical quantile since 2019. The 1Y - 3M term spread of AAA - rated CDs remained at the 11% historical quantile [2][29]. Comparison: The spread between CDs and treasury bonds widens - The spread between the 1Y AAA - rated CD yield and the DR007:15DMA capital spread narrowed from 12.32BP to 8.91BP, and the spread with the R007:15DMA capital spread narrowed from 1.56BP to - 0.52BP.

As of December 2025, the RMB credit balance grew by 6.35% year-on-year, continuing a downward trend.

Instead, investor expectations and optimism about future growth play a significant role in stock valuation [10][12].

Future Outlook - The report anticipates that the central bank will focus on stabilizing net interest margins and may employ more structural monetary policy tools in 2026 to balance support for the real economy and pressure on bank margins [10]. - It is suggested that investors should be patient with bank stocks, as the current low valuations, particularly in H-shares, present an opportunity for future valuation recovery [12].
