Shengjing Bank

Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: Shengjing Bank Co., Ltd., along with its subsidiaries, provides banking products and related financial services in Mainland China, with a market cap of HK$9.15 billion.

Operations: The company generates revenue primarily through its Corporate Banking segment (CN¥4.24 billion), followed by Retail Banking (CN¥1.55 billion) and Treasury Business (CN¥1.01 billion).

Market Cap: HK$9.15B

Shengjing Bank, with a market cap of HK$9.15 billion, faces challenges typical of penny stocks, including high volatility and declining profitability. Its weekly volatility increased significantly over the past year, while net profit margins fell from 11.3% to 8.3%. The bank's earnings have contracted by an average of 54.7% annually over the past five years, and its return on equity is low at 0.7%. Despite these concerns, Shengjing maintains a moderate assets-to-equity ratio (13.3x) and primarily relies on low-risk funding sources like customer deposits (87%). Recently, it completed a CNY6 billion fixed-income offering to bolster financial stability.
