Surging dividend expected amid payout ratio raise and solid earnings
|
Earnings uplifted: development of cloud computing and 5G technology is driving the expansion of China's telecom industry. Net incomes of Big 3 Telecom players, namely China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom, have reported 7%-10% y/y growth in net income based on 9-month FY2023 results.
Double-digit dividend growth: based on the management guidance, we expect China Mobile's and China Telecommunications' payout ratios to reach 70%, translating to double-digit increases in the upcoming final dividend riding on the solid performance.

Payout ratio no less than 50%: Company announced the shareholder reward plan for 2024 to 2026 on Feb 27th. With no major investment plan and asset liability ratio not exceeding 75%, the cash dividends distributed by the company in a year shall be no less than 50% of the net profit attributable to equity shareholders.

The slight increase in net profit mainly due to the total power generated volume climb.
