China Mobile (ISIN HK0941009539) faces a lower DBS target of HKD 96.00, down from HKD 98.00, according to TradingView on September 7, 2026. DBS retained a buy rating, but cited tax pressure and slower growth in traditional services.
DBS flags pressure on earnings
The DBS note cut earnings estimates for 2026 through 2028 by 4.00 percent to 9.80 percent. It also said China Mobile's 2026 dividend payout ratio was guided to remain stable or rise, creating a counterweight to the earnings pressure.
The target reduction matters because the Hong Kong-listed stock was at HKD 78.90 on October 5, 2026, compared with a prior close of HKD 78.85. The HKD 96.00 target is 21.52 percent above that market price, using the same currency.
Computing growth offsets telecom decline
China Mobile's first-half operating revenue was CNY 538.0 billion, down 1.10 percent year over year, while net profit was CNY 78.9 billion, down 6.30 percent. These figures come from the company's 2026 interim results discussed in the Yahoo Finance earnings-call transcript.
The mix is more constructive beneath the headline decline. Computing services revenue reached CNY 52.9 billion in the first half of 2026, up 14.00 percent year over year, while AI services revenue reached CNY 49.3 billion, up 0.90 percent. Communications services revenue fell 5.70 percent to CNY 350.4 billion.
October results date sets next marker
Investing.com lists October 21, 2026 as China Mobile's next earnings date. That report will help investors test whether computing growth can offset the 6.30 percent first-half net profit decline and the 5.70 percent contraction in communications services revenue.
