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.

Should I Buy HSBC Stock? HSBC Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Friday, January 10, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these HSBC pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

HSBC
Bull Case

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

HSBC Holdings plc has a strong market capitalization of approximately $175.17 billion, indicating a robust financial position and stability in the financial services sector.
The company recently announced a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share, translating to an annualized dividend of $2.00 and a yield of 4.11%. This consistent dividend payout can provide a steady income stream for investors.
As of the latest trading session, HSBC's stock price is $48.62, reflecting a positive trend in its market performance, which may attract investors looking for growth opportunities.
HSBC has shown resilience with a low price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 8.04, suggesting that the stock may be undervalued compared to its earnings, potentially offering a good entry point for investors.
The company operates through diverse segments, including Wealth and Personal Banking, Commercial Banking, and Global Banking and Markets, which can help mitigate risks associated with market fluctuations.

HSBC
Bear Case

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

Recent reductions in holdings by significant institutional investors, such as MML Investors Services LLC and Franklin Resources Inc., may indicate a lack of confidence in the stock's future performance.
Despite a solid dividend yield, HSBC's dividend payout ratio stands at 32.73%, which, while sustainable, may limit the company's ability to reinvest profits for growth.
The stock has a beta of 0.56, suggesting lower volatility compared to the market, which may not appeal to investors seeking high-risk, high-reward opportunities.
HSBC's trading volume has been below its average, indicating potential liquidity issues that could affect the ease of buying or selling shares without impacting the stock price significantly.
The company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.52, which, while manageable, may raise concerns about its leverage and financial risk in a rising interest rate environment.
