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

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.

HSBC
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in HSBC Holdings plc:

HSBC Holdings plc has received a recent price target increase from Citigroup, raising it from GBX 960 to GBX 1,070, indicating a potential upside of 25.18% from its current stock price of GBX 854.80.
The company has a strong market capitalization of approximately £190.84 billion, which reflects its stability and ability to withstand market fluctuations.
HSBC Holdings plc has been rated as a "buy" by multiple analysts, including Bank of America, which suggests confidence in the company's future performance.
With a P/E ratio of 8.22, the stock appears to be undervalued compared to the industry average, potentially offering a good entry point for investors.
The company operates in 62 countries and territories, providing a diversified revenue stream and reducing reliance on any single market.

HSBC
Bear Case

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

Insider selling activity has been noted, with significant shares sold by insiders, which may indicate a lack of confidence in the stock's short-term performance.
The stock has experienced volatility, with a recent trading range between GBX 572.90 and GBX 950.20 over the past year, which could deter risk-averse investors.
Despite the positive ratings, there is still one analyst who has rated the stock as a hold, suggesting that not all market participants are convinced of its growth potential.
The company's PEG ratio of 5.97 indicates that its growth rate may not justify its current valuation, which could be a concern for growth-focused investors.
HSBC Holdings plc's beta of 0.52 suggests lower volatility compared to the market, but this could also mean less potential for high returns in a bullish market environment.
