The broker expected state-owned joint-stock banks to post a 2% YoY increase in 4Q24 net profit, and Chinese banks' PPOP to hike by 10% YoY in 4Q24, compared to a 1% YoY decrease in PPOP in 3Q24, benefiting from a recovery in revenue growth.

In particular, net interest income growth is expected to be flat (compared to down 4% YoY in 3Q24), with moderate incline in fees and robust growth in investment income.

Investors will be concerned about the net interest margin guidance for 2025, fee income, especially wealth-related fees, consumer and SME credit demand, credit risk from overcapacity industries and Chinese banks' commitment to dividend payment, the broker added.
