| China Mobile was sharply higher on hopes it will report strong first-quarter earnings, with the heavyweight also getting a boost from a rally in the broader market. At 3:47 pm, China Mobile was up 3.20 hkd or 2.43 pct at 134.70, off a low of 133.90 and high of 136.70. "Most analysts expect China Mobile to report strong first quarter earnings although the average revenue per user (ARPU) during the period may not be as strong as that in the succeeding quarters," said Marvin Lo, an analyst at Daiwa Securities. "Its ARPU is normally weaker in the first quarter because of extended holidays during the period which account for low data usage by mobile business users. But ARPU normally bounces back in the succeeding quarters," he said. "Its strong gains today can also be attributed to the fact that it is a heavy-weighted stock and many investors will want to buy this kind of counter amid a general market uptrend," Lo said. JPMorgan expects China Mobile to report a net profit of 23.4 bln yuan for the first quarter, up 33 pct year-on-year, on 20 pct growth in revenue to 93.3 bln yuan. |

China Mobile falls on profit-taking; lower ARPU not an issue China Mobile Ltd was lower on profit-taking after its recent gains ahead of yesterday's first-quarter results.
At 10:39 am, the stock was down 2.8 hkd or 2.08 pct at 131.9, off a low of 131.0.
"Profit-taking is the main reason behind China Mobile's fall this morning," said Francis Lun, general manager of Fulbright Securities, noting that the stock had climbed to a three-month high of nearly 136 hkd ahead of its first-quarter results.
Lun said the news that China Mobile's average revenue per user per month (ARPU) in the first quarter fell to 82 yuan from 91 yuan a year earlier was not a factor in today's selling.
"The lower ARPU was widely expected as the mobile carrier is pushing hard into rural markets dominated by low-end users," Lun said.
China's largest wireless service operator reported yesterday that its net profit for the first quarter to March rose 37.2 pct to 24.1 bln yuan from 17.56 bln a year earlier on the back of strong growth in revenue, new subscriber numbers and volume of value added services
