Industrial Bank reported lower earnings for the first nine months of 2026, while revenue edged back into positive year-on-year growth. RTTNews published the figures on Friday, October 30, 2026.

Net income came to RMB 60.691 billion, down from RMB 63.083 billion a year earlier. Earnings per share declined to RMB 2.58 from RMB 2.64. Revenue rose 0.2 percent to RMB 161.582 billion from RMB 161.234 billion.

Revenue turns slightly positive

The revenue improvement marked a shift from the decline reported in the first half. Analysts cited in recent coverage attributed the recovery mainly to stronger investment income and other non-interest income, while net interest and fee income remained under pressure.

For investors, the figures point to a mixed operating picture. A small revenue recovery provides some support, but the fall in profit underlines the importance of credit provisions, funding costs and net interest margins for the bank's earnings outlook.
