On November 2, CITIC BANK fell 3.05% in Regular Trading, trading at HK$8.2, with turnover of HK$118 million.
The move coincided with continued market digestion of the bank's third-quarter results, while Hong Kong-listed bank shares broadly weakened, adding pressure to the stock.
Recent results showed revenue of RMB162.641 billion in the first three quarters, up 3.33% year over year, and net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB55.293 billion, up 3.56%. Third-quarter net profit rose 4.6% to RMB17.691 billion. Recent broker commentary also cited improving cost efficiency and said earnings growth was running ahead of management's roughly 3% full-year profit growth guidance, but the latest trading session saw sector sentiment dominate.
