0301 GMT - BOC Hong Kong's loan balance growth is likely to be robust given its competitive advantage in supporting Chinese enterprises expanding overseas, say DBS Group Research analysts in a note. Hong Kong economy's recovery and higher-than-expected interest-rate environment are likely to buoy its net-interest income. A strong Hong Kong capital market could boost its non-interest income, the analysts say. DBS expects BOC Hong Kong's earnings to grow at a 6.7% compound annual growth rate over 2025-2028. DBS raises the stock's target price to 52.00 Hong Kong dollars from HK$48.90 and maintains a buy rating. Shares are down 0.3% at HK$47.84. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
