China Mobile stock (ISIN HK0941009539) is tied to a new AI package priced at CNY 169.00 per month after China Daily reported the launch with Honor on September 29, 2026. The package combines 50 million mobile tokens with communication services and is payable through phone bills.

AI grows as core revenue contracts

China Mobile's first-half 2026 operating revenue reached CNY 538.0 billion, down 1.10 percent year over year, while net profit fell 6.30 percent to CNY 78.9 billion, according to Yahoo Finance in the company earnings transcript dated August 13, 2026.

The growth engine is shifting. Computing services revenue rose 14.00 percent to CNY 52.9 billion, while AI services revenue reached CNY 49.3 billion, up 0.90 percent year over year, the same transcript states.

Cash flow strengthens the investment case

Free cash flow increased 111.60 percent to CNY 53.9 billion in the first half, and operating cash flow rose 37.00 percent to CNY 114.9 billion. That contrast matters because falling reported profit has been accompanied by stronger cash generation and continued investment in digital infrastructure.

DBS maintained a Buy rating on September 4, 2026, while reducing its target to HKD 96.00 from HKD 98.00. The bank attributed the revision to 4.00 percent and 8.00 percent cuts to its fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027 earnings estimates because of VAT pressure.

Market value and next checkpoint
