China Mobile CEO He Biao Bows Out Amid Work Reassignment, Board Confirms Stability

China Mobile has announced that Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director He Biao has resigned, effective February 12, 2026, following a work reassignment.

The Hong Kong-listed telecom giant clarified that He also stepped down from the company’s Sustainability Committee, emphasising that there were no disputes with management and no shareholder issues requiring attention.

The move appears procedural, signalling a planned leadership transition rather than a strategic rupture. The board expressed “high regard and deep gratitude” for He’s contributions, underlining continuity in governance at one of the world’s largest mobile operators.

While the company has not named a successor or detailed He’s new assignment, the board stressed operational stability. Analysts expect the transition to maintain momentum in ongoing investments in 5G deployment, enterprise connectivity, and digital infrastructure, despite moderating revenue growth and intensifying competition in value-added services.

Investor confidence remains strong, with recent analyst ratings placing China Mobile shares as a “Buy” with a price target of HK$103.93, reflecting market expectations for continued strategic execution.
