BOC Hong Kong stock (ISIN HK2388011192) was last at HKD 51.15 on HKEX on October 6, 2026, up 1.29 percent from the prior session. The bank's first-half results remain the central company signal: FilingReader reported on September 9, 2026, that profit attributable to equity holders rose 7.1 percent year over year to HKD 23.739 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Profit and dividends strengthen

The earnings profile combines higher profit with a larger shareholder distribution. The board declared total interim dividends of HKD 0.58 per share, including a HKD 0.29 second interim dividend and a HKD 0.2388 special dividend for 2026, according to the interim-results summary published by Futubull on September 9, 2026.

Net interest income rose 12.1 percent year over year to HKD 28.182 billion, while the net interest margin reached 1.57 percent, up 3 basis points. The counterweight was fee income, which fell 5.8 percent to HKD 5.979 billion, giving investors a clear split between interest-driven growth and weaker fee generation.

Analyst target sits above the price

A valuation update published by Simply Wall St on October 4, 2026, said analysts raised the target from HKD 60.98 to HKD 62.79. The newer target stands 22.8 percent above the October 6 price of HKD 51.15, although it reflects valuation assumptions rather than a company forecast.

Asset quality provided a further operating marker in the June 30, 2026 report. The impaired loan ratio was 0.89 percent, while total assets reached HKD 4,773.371 billion and the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 23.80 percent, according to FilingReader.

BOC Hong Kong stock was last at HKD 51.15 on October 6, 2026 at 4:08 p.m. HKT. Its HKD 35.92 to HKD 53.85 52-week range places the share below the yearly high, while the HKD 540.8 billion market capitalization keeps the bank among Hong Kong's large listed financial companies.
