UBS issued a research report stating that ABC (01288.HK) delivered 1Q results that broadly beat expectations. Net profit reached RMB75.2 billion, up 4.5% YoY, while revenue rose 10.5% YoY to RMB206.3 billion. During the period, credit impairment losses increased 29.2% YoY, and credit cost rose 17 bps to 106 bps. However, a significant decline in tax expenses supported a 4.5% YoY increase in net profit after tax, slightly outperforming peers.

UBS noted that ABC's core Tier-1 capital adequacy ratio fell a further 28 bps QoQ to 10.8%, the lowest among the four major state-owned banks. During the National People's Congress meetings in March this year, the government work report indicated a plan to issue RMB300 billion of special treasury bonds to inject capital into large state-owned banks. UBS maintained a Neutral rating on ABC with a TP of HKD5.85. (sl/w)
