Bank of China Likely to Benefit From Overseas, Wealth Management Businesses -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-11

0805 GMT - Bank of China will likely continue to benefit from its overseas and wealth-management businesses, Morningstar analyst Iris Tan says in a research note. A delayed U.S. rate cut will benefit the lender's overseas business, which represents about 22% of Bank of China's total assets and contributes about 23% of operating profits, and help offset continuing domestic net interest margin compression, she says. Meanwhile, its wealth-management business is expected to grow, thanks to a large, quality retail customer base and strong growth in the bank's wealth-management product scale in recent years, Tan says. Morningstar keeps its HK$3.50 fair-value estimate on the stock. Shares are last at HK$3.72. (tracy.qu@wsj.com)
