BANK OF E ASIA (00023.HK)  +0.060 (+0.447%)    Short selling $1.45M; Ratio 63.710%   announced its latest strategic guidance during its results conference, aiming to raise its ROE target to 7% by 2028, compared to 3.1% in 2025, with market expectations at 5.1%, Citi said in a research report.

Citi noted that BANK OF E ASIA's dividend target for 2028 is doubled from 2025 level, implying a DPS of approximately HKD1.2 by 2028. It forecast that ROE will reach 6% by then, which is lower than the management's target but still well above the market's general forecast of 5.1%.

Having been recently included in the Hang Seng Composite Index, BANK OF E ASIA could potentially be included in the Southbound Stock Connect in the future. Therefore, Citi upgraded BANK OF E ASIA from Neutral to Buy, raising the target price from HKD14.9 to HKD16.
