BOCI’s research report wrote that PSBC (01658.HK) charted a 1.7% YoY growth in net profit attributable to parent company in 4Q25, slightly accelerating from the 1.2% growth in 3Q, fueled by growth in operating income, a narrowing decline in NIM and reduced opex.

As a result, full-year net profit attributable to parent company hiked 1.1% YoY, while operating income mounted 1.9% YoY. Although the NPL ratio edged up in 4Q, it remained the lowest among peers, while the provision coverage ratio stayed at a high-end level.
