Bank of China (ISIN CNE1000001Z5) was last at HKD 5.99 on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026, 2.44 percent below its 52-week high of HKD 6.14. First-half 2026 figures provide the operating backdrop, with income and profit both higher year over year.

Income rises in first half

According to Futubull on September 28, 2026, Bank of China reported operating income of RMB 357.113 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, up 8.41 percent from the prior-year period.

The same interim report put profit attributable to equity holders at RMB 123.594 billion, an increase of 5.10 percent, while basic earnings per share reached RMB 0.36. Net interest income rose 10.20 percent to RMB 236.733 billion, giving the bank a larger earnings base despite ongoing pressure on banking spreads.

Credit growth meets higher impairments

Customer loans and advances totaled RMB 24.14 trillion at June 30, 2026, up 5.49 percent from the end of 2025, while customer deposits reached RMB 26.83 trillion, an increase of 2.46 percent. The balance sheet therefore expanded faster on the lending side than on deposits.

Credit costs remain an important counterweight. Asset impairment losses increased 18.39 percent year over year to RMB 68.076 billion in the first half, according to Futubull. That comparison matters because the 5.10 percent rise in attributable profit was achieved alongside higher reported impairment charges.

Stock remains near yearly high

Bank of China stock traded between HKD 5.98 and HKD 6.03 during the October 7 session. Its 52-week range is HKD 4.11 to HKD 6.14, placing the latest quote 45.74 percent above the yearly low and 2.44 percent below the yearly high.

The Hong Kong-listed bank had a market capitalization of HKD 2.5 trillion as of October 7, 2026, with volume of 33,790,022 shares. Bank of China lists the 2026 Interim Report and a proposed interim dividend announcement among its investor materials.
