CM Bank (CNE1000002M1) is priced at EUR 6.00 at Lang & Schwarz on October 21, 2026 at 5:02 p.m. CEST. Zhitong Finance reported on October 21, 2026 that JPMorgan raised its target for China Merchants Bank's H shares from HKD 62.00 to HKD 63.00 while maintaining an Overweight rating.
Target leaves room above the Hong Kong price
The JPMorgan target stands 19.20 percent above the HKD 52.85 closing price of China Merchants Bank's Hong Kong listing on October 21, 2026. The calculation uses the target and the same-currency Hong Kong price, keeping the analyst view separate from the euro quotation.
The report also lowered JPMorgan's 2026 net profit estimate by 0.60 percent, raised its 2027 estimate by 1.10 percent and left its 2028 estimate unchanged. It highlighted the bank's retail platform, deposit scale and low deposit-cost ratio as important operating features.
Stock stays below its yearly high
The Frankfurt quotation has a 52-week range of EUR 4.83 to EUR 6.09 as of October 21, 2026. The Lang & Schwarz price is EUR 0.09, or 1.48 percent, below the upper end of that range. The one-year range therefore places the stock near its recent high while leaving room for daily price changes.
The Frankfurt listing recorded a market capitalization of EUR 149.6 billion and a trailing P/E ratio of 8.35 on October 21, 2026. Its year-to-date performance was 3.27 percent, while the quoted 52-week gain was 10.31 percent.
