The company's PE ratio is exceptionally high at 859.66, which may indicate that the stock is overvalued compared to its earnings, raising concerns about future price corrections.
HSBC Holdings plc's dividend payout ratio is extremely high at 5,393.26%, suggesting that the company is paying out far more in dividends than it earns, which may not be sustainable in the long term.
