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 Thursday, December 12, 2024. 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 recently declared a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share, which translates to an annualized dividend of $2.00 and a dividend yield of approximately 4.16%. This consistent dividend payment can provide a reliable income stream for investors.
The current stock price of HSBC Holdings plc is $48.04, reflecting a stable performance with a market capitalization of $173.07 billion. This indicates a strong position in the financial services sector.
HSBC has shown resilience with a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.52, suggesting that the company is not overly reliant on debt to finance its operations, which can be a sign of financial stability.
Recent filings indicate that institutional investors are actively increasing their stakes in HSBC, with HighTower Advisors LLC boosting its holdings by 18.0% in the third quarter. This trend can signal confidence in the company's future performance.
HSBC operates through diverse segments including Wealth and Personal Banking, Commercial Banking, and Global Banking and Markets, which can help mitigate risks associated with economic fluctuations in any single area.

HSBC
Bear Case

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

Quantinno Capital Management LP recently reduced its position in HSBC by 6.2%, indicating some investors may be losing confidence in the stock's short-term prospects.
The stock has experienced fluctuations, with a 12-month low of $36.93, which may raise concerns about its volatility and potential for future declines.
Despite a solid dividend yield, the company's dividend payout ratio stands at 32.73%, which, while sustainable, may limit the potential for future dividend increases if earnings do not grow significantly.
HSBC's beta of 0.56 suggests lower volatility compared to the market, but this could also mean limited upside potential during bullish market conditions, which may deter growth-focused investors.
With only 1.48% of the stock owned by institutional investors and hedge funds, there may be less institutional support compared to other companies, which can impact stock performance during market downturns.
