China News Service, Beijing, January 5 (Reporter Liu Yuying) On January 5, China Mobile landed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange for trading.

China Mobile's IPO price was 57.58 yuan (RMB, the same below), and the opening price on the first day of listing was 63 yuan. With the three major indexes falling, it closed at 57.88 yuan, with a total market value of 1.23 trillion yuan.

  On October 23, 1997, China Mobile was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and became the "first overseas listing of a central enterprise."

  Yang Jie, Chairman and Party Secretary of China Mobile, stated on the 5th that China Mobile has landed on A-shares and became "the first red chip company to return to the A-share main board listing". This is another milestone in the development of China Mobile and marks China Mobile. The successful establishment of a domestic and overseas capital operation platform has laid a solid foundation for the company to promote digital and intelligent transformation and accelerate high-quality development.

  China Mobile is a world-class telecom operator with the largest global network and customer scale and leading profitability.

  China Mobile ranks first in the world in terms of user scale.

As of the end of June 2021, China Mobile's assets have exceeded 1.7 trillion yuan, and the total number of connections has reached 2.150 billion.

China Mobile has 5.28 million base stations and covers over 99.5% of the country's population. Among them, 4G base stations account for about 30% of the world, and 5G base stations account for about 35% of the world, ranking first in the world.

  China Mobile's profitability continues to maintain the leading level of world-class operators.

In 2020, China Mobile's EBITDA (Earnings Before Tax, Interest, Depreciation and Amortization) rate was 37.1%, ranking second in the world; in 2020, its net profit rate and return on total assets were 14% and 6.6%, both ranking among the world's top telecoms Operator first.

  According to the latest financial data, China Mobile's revenue in the first three quarters of this year was 648.63 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 12.9%; the net profit attributable to the parent in the first three quarters was 86.962 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.6%, and its profitability remained strong.

  China Mobile has always had a high level of dividends. Since its listing, the cumulative dividend has exceeded 1 trillion Hong Kong dollars. The dividend payout rate in the past three years has exceeded 50%. The dividend rate in 2020 will reach 7.44%, regardless of whether it is in Hong Kong stocks or A-share large companies. China is among the best.

  China Mobile said that with this A-share listing, China Mobile will further build a top digital economy "circle of friends", "circle of relatives" and "ecosystem."

In the future, with the construction and performance of this IPO fundraising project such as 5G business, smart middle platform, and computing power network, it will bring a broader imagination for China Mobile's post-IPO performance.
