China Merchants Bank reported first-half 2026 net profit growth of 2.02 percent to CNY 76.45 billion, while CM Bank stock costs EUR 6.12 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 10:42 a.m. CEST. The results show improving fee income alongside continuing pressure on retail lending, according to Futu on September 22, 2026.
Three milestones shape the story
On August 28, 2026, China Merchants Bank released its semi-annual report, recording operating revenue of CNY 178.18 billion, up 4.83 percent year over year, and net profit attributable to shareholders of CNY 76.45 billion, up 2.02 percent, according to Futu.
On September 22, 2026, Pacific Securities highlighted the same report's CNY 39.86 billion of net fee and commission income, a year-over-year increase of 5.99 percent, in a review carried by Futu.
On October 7, 2026, iNEWS reported that wealth management revenue reached CNY 24.70 billion, up 18.44 percent year over year. This gives the earnings story a clear split: corporate lending and fee businesses expanded, while retail pre-tax profit fell 17.58 percent to CNY 42.89 billion.
What does wealth management mean?
The fee trend is the most constructive operating detail. Wealth management fees and commissions rose 26.53 percent to CNY 16.19 billion in the first half of 2026, while retail assets under management reached CNY 18.44 trillion, up 7.96 percent from the end of 2025, according to iNEWS.
Credit quality remains a counterweight. The overall non-performing loan ratio was 0.94 percent at the end of June 2026, unchanged from year-end 2025, while retail loan balances declined 1.08 percent from the end of 2025, according to Futu.
Next results arrive October 23
China Merchants Bank is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results on October 23, 2026, with consensus revenue of CNY 87.82 billion and estimated earnings per share of CNY 1.63, according to Eulerpool. The upcoming report will test whether wealth management growth can offset the lower contribution from retail lending.
