Bank of China stock stood at HKD 5.98 on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on September 25, 2026, placing it 2.61 percent below its 52-week high of HKD 6.14. The shares slipped 0.99 percent on the session, while the bank's market capitalization reached HKD 2,538,702,122,516.
Half-year profit rises 5.1 percent
The latest operating picture comes from the six months ended June 30, 2026. According to MarketScreener, net income reached CNY 123.594 billion, compared with CNY 117.591 billion in the same period of 2025.
Net interest income was CNY 236.733 billion in the first half of 2026, versus CNY 214.816 billion a year earlier, a 10.21 percent increase. The comparison matters because interest income remains the central earnings engine for a diversified bank, while the slower 5.1 percent net-income increase points to pressure elsewhere in the cost and provisioning structure.
Interim report sets the reference point
Bank of China's investor-relations page lists the 2026 Interim Report among its financial reports and also lists a proposed interim dividend for the six months ended June 30, 2026, providing the reporting framework for the latest figures. The official investor page places these documents alongside the bank's first-quarter report and 2025 annual reports.
The balance sheet also expanded during the period. The June 30, 2026 financial statements show total assets of CNY 40.179 trillion, compared with CNY 39.462 trillion at March 31, 2026, an increase of 1.82 percent in three months.
Valuation stays above peers
Valuation supplies a second reference point for the stock. Yahoo Finance reported on September 23, 2026, that Bank of China traded at 7.0 times earnings, compared with a 6.6 times peer average and 5.2 times for the wider banking sector.
That premium is modest in absolute terms but important for the investor case. It means the market is assigning Bank of China a higher earnings multiple than the sector benchmark, so future profit growth must continue to justify the valuation difference.
Stock remains near yearly high
Bank of China stock was at HKD 5.98 on September 25, 2026, against a 52-week range of HKD 4.11 to HKD 6.14. The combination of a 2.61 percent distance from the yearly high, half-year net-income growth of 5.1 percent, and a 7.0 times earnings multiple defines the stock's present market profile.
