HSBC Global Research released a report stating that BOC Hong Kong (02388.HK) saw its EPS grow by 4.9% YoY to HKD3.79 last year, exceeding both HSBC's and market expectations by 2% and 3.7%, respectively. The full-year dividend per share increased by 6.8% YoY to HKD2.12, with the payout ratio rising to 56%. The management mentioned for the first time a three-year shareholder return plan for 2026 to 2028, potentially including increasing the payout ratio, share buybacks, or issuing special dividends, which could serve as a mid-term catalyst.

Considering the improved NIM outlook and the cooling of rate cut expectations, HSBC Research raised BOC Hong Kong's earnings forecasts for 2026 and 2027 by 6.9% and 0.5%, respectively. The TP was increased from HKD49 to HKD51, maintaining a 'Buy' rating. (ec/w)
