Bank of China stock (ISIN CNE1000001Z5) was last at HKD 5.92 on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on October 5, 2026 at 4:08 p.m. HKT, while the bank's first-half profit attributable to equity holders rose 5.10 percent to CNY 123.594 billion. The result gives the stock a concrete earnings anchor after a reporting period that ended June 30, 2026.

Income grew 8.41 percent

According to Futubull on September 28, 2026, operating income reached CNY 357.113 billion in the first half of 2026, an increase of 8.41 percent year over year. Net interest income rose 10.20 percent to CNY 236.733 billion, while basic earnings per share stood at CNY 0.36.

The earnings mix matters because the bank generated growth from both lending income and non-interest activities. Non-interest income increased 5.04 percent to CNY 120.380 billion and represented 33.71 percent of operating income during the six-month period, according to Futubull.

Credit costs rose faster

The counter-factor sits in asset quality. Asset impairment losses increased 18.39 percent to CNY 68.076 billion in the first half, even as the non-performing-loan ratio was 1.22 percent, down 0.01 percentage points year over year, according to Futubull. The provision coverage ratio was 200.85 percent, up 0.48 percentage points, leaving credit protection as an important part of the earnings picture.

Bank of China also proposed an interim dividend of CNY 1.190 per 10 shares before tax for 2026, subject to shareholder approval. The bank's investor-relations page lists the 2026 Interim Report and the proposed interim dividend announcement among its financial materials, Bank of China states.
