资产端收益率下行压力与负债端成本缓释的博弈将加剧。 存量贷款重定价，尤其是按揭贷款部分，更将进一步放大这一压力，部分银行全年利息收入或进一步减 少。某大型银行信贷部经理对记者表示，未来若LPR进一步下调，审批贷款时收益空间将进一步缩窄， 比如按揭贷款业务，只能按照最低标准执行，而且存量按揭贷款客户在重定价周期后也会要求调整利 率，这将对利息收入产生不小的影响。 "这意味着，随着LPR的下调，银行新发放贷款的利率降低，利息收入增长受限，而存量贷款在重定价 周期中也会因利率下调而减少利息收益，从而压缩资产端的整体收益率，对净息差形成较大的下行压 力。"某银行业资深分析人士对记者表示。 记者注意到，信贷利率正处于历史低位。央行数据显示，2024年12月全社会新发贷款加权平均利率已降 至3.3%左右，同比下降约0.6个百分点；1年期和5年期以上LPR分别为3.1%和3.6%，分别较上年12月下 降0.35个和0.6个百分点；利率低于LPR的贷款占比为44.91%。 负债端成本压力或缓释 此次央行将存款准备金率下调 50bp，释放约1万亿元长期流动性，为银行负债端释放了成本空间，缓解 了相关压力。 根据东兴证券分析，静 ...

国信证券主要观点如下： 智通财经APP获悉，国信证券发布研报称，2025年或是银行业此轮业绩下行周期的尾声。基于前述分 析，该行认为当前银行基本面仍然承压，主要是债市波动带来的其他非息收入减少压力，以及中小银行 拨备平滑利润空间不够充裕的压力。不过该行认为，受益于净息差和其他非息收入带来的低基数，该行 估计2026年行业收入和利润增速有望拐点向上，因此2025年或是此轮业绩下行周期尾声。 资产规模 整体增速回落至正常水平，城商行仍保持较高增速。2025年一季度末上市银行合计总资产同比增长 7.5%，与当前行业ROE及分红率所对应的内生增速接近。分类型银行来看，城商行仍保持较高的资产 增速。 非息收入 手续费净收入见底，其他非息收入拖累业绩。手续费净收入在低基数下收入规模见底。今年一季度受市 场利率上升影响，中小银行的其他非息收入增速明显下降，成为收入和净利润增长的主要拖累项。 同比降幅收窄，各类型银行趋势一致。一季度上市银行整体净息差同比下降13bps至1.43%，降幅较去年 的17bps有所收窄。一季度环比去年四季度下降6bps。受益于存款挂牌利率下调，预计全年净息差降幅 将小幅收窄至10-15bps。分类 ...
