Dow Jones03-22

0723 GMT - China Mobile's guidance for a higher dividend payout by 2026 could give the stock another three years of certainty, Jefferies analysts say in a research note. Despite weaker-than-expected 4Q results, China Mobile's full-year trends, which are more representative of its growth patterns, remain healthy, they say. Meanwhile, Chinese telecom operators' capital expenditure could continue to fall as 5G-related capex have peaked in 2022, they add. Jefferies maintains a buy rating on China Mobile and raises its target price to HK$92.21 from HK$84.87 due to the higher dividend payout target. Shares are last 1.4% higher at HK$67.80.
