Market Focus06-30 10:30

On June 30, BOC Hong Kong fell 3.39% in regular trading, trading at HK$42.14 per share, with turnover of HK$177 million.

On the news front, the company completed its ex-dividend on June 29 (final dividend of HK$1.255 per share), and today marks the first full trading day thereafter, with some shareholders taking profits after collecting dividends. Concurrently, the Hong Kong-listed banking sector experienced significant selling pressure, with ABC down 3.55%, ICBC down 3.32%, CCB down 2.91%, and Bank of China down 1.96%. Investment banks had previously noted that mainland visitor-related business contributes limited revenue to Hong Kong banks, dampening near-term sector sentiment.

BOC Hong Kong reported full-year attributable profit of HK$40.1 billion for fiscal 2025, up 4.9% year-over-year, supported by net interest income growth and net interest margin recovery to 1.71%. The board recommended a final dividend of HK$1.255 per share, payable July 17.
