BOCOM redeemed RMB 30.0 billion of Tier 2 capital bonds, while Bank of Communications stock was trading at EUR 0.98 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026, at 9:51 a.m. CEST. Yahoo Finance reported the redemption on October 8, 2026, making capital structure the latest company-specific issue in the stock story.

Three dated events shape the story

On August 28, 2026, Bank of Communications reported quarterly earnings per share of USD 0.81, matching the USD 0.81 consensus, while revenue reached USD 10.32 billion against the same USD 10.32 billion estimate, according to Transcript Daily.

On September 20, 2026, Bank of Communications was removed from the S&P Global 1200, according to MarketScreener. On October 8, 2026, the bank's redemption of RMB 30.0 billion in 10-year Tier 2 bonds became the most recent dated corporate event.

Why the bond redemption matters

The bonds were redeemed at par at the first optional call date, according to Bank of Communications in its September 29, 2026 announcement. That removes a future interest payment stream and shifts attention toward funding costs, capital allocation and common-equity returns.

The capital action is relevant because the bank delivered stronger earnings but weaker asset returns in the first half of 2026. TABInsights reported that BOCOM's pre-tax profit increased 14.30 percent year over year, while return on assets declined 0.90 basis points. The combination points to a clear test for the second half of 2026: profit growth must increasingly come with improved returns, not only balance-sheet expansion.
