China Telecom ( (HK:0728) ) has issued an update.
China Telecom reported that its mobile subscriber base reached 438.65 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, with a net addition of 1.46 million users, including 301.81 million 5G network subscribers after gaining 9.40 million 5G users in the period. Wireline broadband subscribers climbed to 201.12 million with 0.63 million net additions, and the board cautioned investors that the disclosed figures are based on internal statistics and urged prudence when trading the company’s securities.
The company’s steady growth in both mobile and broadband customers, particularly the continued expansion of its large 5G subscriber base, underscores its ongoing push to deepen market penetration in advanced telecom services. However, the explicit warning that these operating metrics stem from internal data and the call for investor caution highlight a degree of uncertainty around the figures’ precision and signal that stakeholders should interpret the quarterly operational update conservatively.
The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0728) stock is a Buy with a HK$7.54 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on China Telecom stock, see the HK:0728 Stock Forecast page.
