Postal Savings Bank of China C / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
 <li>
Unmatched Rural Network Drives Stable, Low-Cost Funding: Postal Savings Bank of China (PSBC) possesses the largest branch network in China, with approximately 40,000 outlets, granting it unparalleled access to a vast and stable retail deposit base, particularly in underserved rural areas. This extensive reach provides a significant low-cost funding advantage over peers.</li>
 <li>
Solid Asset Quality and Prudent Risk Management: The bank has consistently demonstrated superior asset quality compared to the industry average, characterized by a low non-performing loan (NPL) ratio. A strategic focus on retail banking and stringent risk control measures contribute to its financial stability, though recent quarters have shown slight deterioration.</li>
 <li>
Profitability Pressured by Competition and Regulation: Despite its strengths, PSBC faces significant headwinds from narrowing net interest margins (NIMs), a trend affecting the entire Chinese banking sector due to interest rate liberalization and intense competition. Its profitability, while stable, is also constrained by the agency model, which requires fee payments to its parent company, China Post Group.</li>
