Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ISIN CNE1000003G1) was trading at EUR 0.87 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 2:39 p.m. CEST, plus 1.16 percent versus the prior close of EUR 0.86. The bank issued CNY 20 billion of bonds to replenish capital on September 10, 2026, according to Marketscreener.

CNY 20 billion capital issue

The bond issue gives ICBC another capital-market instrument as it expands lending and manages balance-sheet growth. The same report identifies the security as ticker 1398 on the Hong Kong Exchange, confirming the listing connected with the requested ISIN.

For investors, the capital move arrives alongside stronger first-half operating figures. FilingReader reported on September 24, 2026 that net profit for the first half of 2026 reached RMB 176.48 billion, up 4.50 percent year over year. Operating income was RMB 446.16 billion, while net interest income reached RMB 341.24 billion, up 8.80 percent.

Profit growth meets asset expansion

The interim figures show that the bank's earnings growth was accompanied by a larger balance sheet. Total assets stood at RMB 57.07 trillion on June 30, 2026, up 6.70 percent from the prior year-end, while total loans and advances rose 4.90 percent to RMB 31.99 trillion, according to FilingReader's summary of the interim report.

Asset quality also provides an important counterweight to the capital story. The non-performing-loan ratio was 1.29 percent at June 30, 2026, down 0.02 percentage points from the prior year-end, while the allowance to non-performing loans was 217.58 percent. The combination leaves capital replenishment as a balance-sheet tool rather than a response to a reported deterioration in credit quality.

EUR 0.87 sets the market reference

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China stock was trading at EUR 0.87 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 2:39 p.m. CEST. That was plus 1.16 percent versus the Lang & Schwarz prior close of EUR 0.86 on September 30, 2026, giving the capital announcement and the interim figures a positive same-day market setting.
