Investment suggestion: raise the profit forecast and maintain the “overweight” rating.

The wealth management and housing related non-performing loans disclosed in the annual report were slightly better than expected. We raised the profit forecast, and predicted that the net profit in 20222024 would be 139.4/159.9/184.1 billion yuan (the previous forecast was 138.5/158 billion yuan in 20222023), corresponding to a year-on-year increase of 16.2% / 14.7% / 15.1%, corresponding to diluted EPS of 5.38/6.20/7.16 yuan, and the dynamic Pb corresponding to the current stock price was 1.42x/1.26x/1.10x. Big wealth management and financial technology will deepen the retail moat. The short-term wealth management business is dragged down by the poor capital market, but the long-term development space is broad and the long-term investment value is prominent. Maintain the “overweight” rating in 2022
