Bank of China (3988) Earnings: First Half Results Highlight 1.22% Non-Performing Loans Ratio and Strong Buy Ratings

Bank of China on Smartkarma

Analysts on Smartkarma, including Nico Rosti, are closely monitoring Bank of China (3988 HK) as they anticipate forced passive selling ahead of a global index provider rebalance in May. Rosti’s tactical outlook suggests that the real impact of passive selling has not fully materialized yet, indicating a possible opportunity for investors to position themselves strategically. With Bank of China being one of the stocks expected to experience significant selling pressure, the recent pullback in its stock price is seen as modest compared to the forthcoming rebalance effects. Rosti’s model forecasts a potential price range of HK$4.97–4.88 in the next 3 weeks, with downside risks towards HK$4.6 if forced selling intensifies around the rebalance date.
