Bank of China (ISIN CNE1000001Z5) was trading at EUR 0.68 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 9:03 a.m. CEST, unchanged from the prior close of EUR 0.68. The bank proposed an interim dividend of RMB 1.190 per 10 shares for 2026 in its interim report covering the six months ended June 30, 2026, as reported by Moomoo on September 28, 2026.

Dividend proposal adds cash return

The proposed payment is subject to shareholder approval, giving the first-half report a direct income component for holders of the Hong Kong-listed bank. The dividend proposal also arrives alongside growth in the core income statement, rather than as an isolated capital-return announcement.

Income grows faster than profit

Operating income reached RMB 357.113 billion in the first half of 2026, up 8.41 percent from the prior-year period, according to Moomoo. Profit attributable to equity holders rose 5.10 percent to RMB 123.594 billion, while basic earnings per share stood at RMB 0.36 for the same period.

Net interest income increased 10.20 percent to RMB 236.733 billion, exceeding the growth rate of attributable profit. That gap places attention on credit costs and impairment, which rose 18.39 percent to RMB 68.076 billion during the first half.

Hong Kong quote stays in range

The primary Hong Kong quote was HKD 5.99 on October 7, 2026 at 2:48 p.m. HKT, against a prior close of HKD 6.01. The same market snapshot placed the 52-week range at HKD 4.11 to HKD 6.14 and market capitalization at HKD 2.5 trillion.

For investors, the key comparison is the difference between 8.41 percent operating-income growth and 5.10 percent growth in profit attributable to equity holders. The proposed dividend adds a shareholder-return angle, while the 1.27 percent net interest margin and 23.43 percent cost-to-income ratio provide additional measures of bank performance in the first half of 2026, according to Moomoo.
