HSBC - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in HSBC Holdings plc for these reasons:

  • Despite its strong market position, HSBC's P/E/G ratio of 5.97 suggests that the stock may not be growing as quickly as some investors would prefer, indicating potential limitations in future growth.
  • The beta of 0.52 indicates lower volatility compared to the market, which may not appeal to investors seeking high-risk, high-reward opportunities.
  • Analysts have also issued "hold" ratings, suggesting that while the stock is stable, there may not be significant short-term upside potential.
  • HSBC's operations in multiple countries expose it to geopolitical risks and regulatory challenges that could impact its profitability.
