On July 31, BANKCOMM fell 3.39% in regular trading, trading at HKD 7.48/share, with turnover of HKD 48.28 million. The stock had previously hit 60-day highs on two consecutive trading days, closing at HKD 7.32 on July 30 with a 3.24% gain and HKD 7.11 on July 28 with a 1.43% gain.

The decline was driven by a broad pullback across the mainland banking sector in Hong Kong, as institutions flagged profit-taking pressure from short-term trading capital that had flowed into bank stocks during the prior rally. Additionally, commercial banks reported non-performing loan balances reaching RMB 3.7 trillion at end of Q1, up RMB 174.2 billion quarter-over-quarter, while net interest margins fell to a record low of 1.4%, highlighting ongoing structural pressures on asset quality and profitability.

Within the Diversified Banks sector, HSBC Holdings rose 1.7%, while CCB fell 2.56%, ICBC fell 2.62%, Bank of China fell 1.81%, and ABC fell 3.99%.
