China Citic Bank's Near-Term Outlook Rosy on Cost Savings -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-06 12:09

0409 GMT - China Citic Bank's near-term outlook is rosy due to its cost savings, says Morningstar's Iris Tan in a note. The lender's 1Q net profit grew 3% on a better-than-expected improvement in operating efficiency, as its cost-to-income ratio fell 87 basis points, the analyst says. She therefore cuts her 2026 cost-to-income ratio estimate 60 bps to 32%. While China Citic Bank's 1Q net-interest margin narrowed to 1.61%, she expects its net-interest margin for 2026 to remain stable at the current level and gradually recover to 1.66% by 2030 as the bank's funding mix improves. Morningstar retains its HK$9.00 fair-value estimate, noting its shares are fairly valued. Shares rise 2.6% to HK$8.28. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
