Company Report

Bocom's Yangtze River Delta Strength Supports Margin

Striving to become China's leading wealth-management bank, Bocom is building its international presence and developing a wide range of financial service businesses. The bank achieved solid progress in the transformation, as evidenced by its growing retail customer base, customer assets under management, and a booming credit card business, leveraging its solid customer base in the affluent Yangtze River Delta. Its deposit base remained weaker than those of moaty peers, resulting in higher funding costs. We expect Bocom still has a long way toward its goal of being a leading wealth management bank.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Bocom has a deep and entrenched foothold in the Yangtze River Delta, which is the most developed area of China's private economy. Its nearly 20% contribution to China’s gross domestic product makes it fertile ground for future loan growth.

Bears

Credit card loan quality remains under pressure, with the special mentioned loan ratio increasing to 4.2%, the highest level among all retail loan categories.
