Bank of China reports 4.67 percent profit growth while Bank of China stock trades at EUR 0.68

Bank of China (ISIN CNE1000001Z5) reported profit growth of 4.67 percent for the first half of 2026, while its stock was trading at EUR 0.68 in the German market on October 26, 2026. The result gives investors a fresh operating benchmark before the bank's third-quarter reporting cycle.

The interim report published on September 28, 2026, shows that profit for the period reached RMB 132.031 billion, compared with RMB 126.138 billion a year earlier. According to FinancialFilings, profit attributable to equity holders rose 5.10 percent to RMB 123.594 billion.

Income growth outpaced the headline

Operating income increased 8.41 percent year over year to RMB 357.113 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2026. Net interest income rose 10.20 percent to RMB 236.733 billion, providing the largest quantified support for the result.

Credit conditions also provide an important counterweight. The bank's non-performing loan ratio stood at 1.22 percent on June 30, 2026, down from 1.23 percent at the end of 2025, while the allowance coverage ratio reached 200.85 percent. The report also showed a net interest margin of 1.27 percent for the first half, up from 1.26 percent a year earlier.

What does the next report add?

The next major company date is the board meeting scheduled for October 30, 2026, when Bank of China is due to review and approve unaudited third-quarter results for the period ended September 30, 2026, according to TipRanks. The scheduled review matters because the first-half figures combined higher operating income with a 1.68 percentage-point improvement in the cost-to-income ratio to 23.43 percent.

Analyst expectations offer a separate reference point. Markets Insider reported on October 22, 2026 that J.P. Morgan maintained a Buy rating and a HKD 7.00 price target. A separate search result described the target as raised from HKD 6.70, with the change tied to a higher long-term return-on-equity assumption from 9.30 percent to 9.40 percent.

Price stays the immediate reference
