China Mobile: Tax Reform Skimming? Payouts Need to Be More GenerousApr 20 at 10:37 AM00941+1.06%80941+1.22%
China Mobile Q1 2026 First Take: revenue grew at a low single-digit pace, while profit declined on GPM compression and higher costs. With capex cut sharply in the quarter, after-tax cash operating profit still rose about 5%. Connectivity remains the core biz., accounting for nearly 90% of revenue. Mobile subscribers increased by 3.76 mn QoQ in the quarter. As the leading domestic operator, the QoQ add underscores its competitive position. Behind China Mobile's steady print, the market is focused on three areas. They are: a) capex, b) dividends, and c) the VAT policy shift. a) Capex: Q1 capex was RMB 30.4bn, down RMB 6bn YoY. Given the full-year plan of RMB 136.6bn, the remaining three quarters imply ~RMB 106.4bn in total, or ~RMB 35.2bn per quarter. As the 5G heavy investment cycle winds down, capex continues to contract. b) Dividends: The company paid RMB 19.7bn in Q1. Payouts are typically concentrated in Q2–Q3. Assuming a RMB 35.0bn dividend in Q2, the payout ratio would remain around 76%. c) VAT change: Effective Jan 1, 2026, data, SMS and MMS will be reclassified from 'value-added telecom services' to 'basic telecom services'. The applicable VAT rate will rise from 6% to 9%. Overall, revenue and subscriber counts continue to grow, with capex trimmed and a high payout maintained. While there are limited near-term growth drivers, it remains a solid dividend play. $CHINA MOBILE(00941.HK) $China Mobile(600941.SH) $CHINA MOBILE-R(80941.HK)Apr 20 at 08:42 AMHCMD+1.13%00941+1.06%

China Mobile 4Q25 First Take: Results were broadly in line with expectations, with revenue growth driven mainly by product sales while the core connectivity business posted a modest increase. Profit pulled back sharply on swings in other gains, while OP rose 8% YoY. By segment: 1) Data traffic kept the 'price cuts to drive usage' strategy, with Avg. unit price down 13% in H2 and mobile subs continuing to edge up. 2) Broadband grew around 8% in H2, with both subs and ARPU moving higher. 3) In other lines such as info services and product sales, growth was mainly driven by compute power services. Beyond the steady operating metrics, the market is focused on the following. Key watch items are: a) Capex: Quarterly capex was RMB 39.8bn, roughly flat YoY. Management guides 2026 capex at RMB 136.6bn, down 9.5% YoY. Within that, the company plans to trim communications network capex and keep increasing spend on the compute network (Approx. RMB 37.8bn). b) Dividend: The company typically pays in Q2/Q3. Total dividends for 2025 are around RMB 103.4bn, implying a payout ratio above 70%. Overall, China Mobile’s operating trends remained stable this quarter, while the decline in net profit was mainly due to other gains/losses. From 2026, a VAT policy change will reclassify data, SMS and MMS from 'value-added telecom services' to 'basic telecom services', lifting VAT from 6% to 9%. With peak 5G investment behind, capex is on a downward trend and ROE is steadily improving, with the payout ratio staying above 70%. The higher VAT will weigh on near-term earnings, but over the medium to long term it remains a high-dividend pick.
