About company
HSBC Holdings PLC is a prominent global financial institution, originally founded in Hong Kong in 1865, with a significant presence in 58 countries and territories worldwide. As of January 2025, HSBC has restructured its operations into four main business segments: Hong Kong, UK, Corporate and Institutional Banking (CIB), and International Wealth and Premier Banking (IWPB). This reorganization aims to streamline its operations and enhance its strategic focus on key markets. HSBC's CIB division is a major player in international wholesale banking, leveraging its robust deposit base and extensive international network to offer strong financing capabilities. The bank is well-positioned to support sectors poised for future growth, such as digital technologies, clean energy, and healthcare, by providing necessary capital and facilitating international trade. Additionally, HSBC's asset management arm offers specialized investment opportunities, particularly in Asia and the Middle East, reinforcing its standing in rapidly expanding wealth markets. In Hong Kong, HSBC's operations are complemented by Hang Seng Bank, which focuses on community-centric banking services.
Summarized from source with an LLMView SourceSector: FinanceLatest Results (20.10.2025):
HSBC Holdings PLC reported its financial results for the first half of 2025, showcasing a mixed performance with a decline in pre-tax profits and net interest income. Despite challenges, the bank maintained a solid Common Equity Tier 1 ratio and continued to return value to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
Pre-Tax Profit Declines
The pre-tax profit for HSBC Holdings PLC decreased by $5.7 billion, totaling $15.8 billion for the first half of 2025 compared to $21.6 billion in the same period last year. This decline was primarily due to reduced net interest income and increased impairment losses.
Net Interest Income Decreases
Net interest income fell by $1 billion to $15.8 billion in the first half of 2025. The decrease was influenced by the sale of Canadian and Argentine businesses, partially offset by favorable currency translation effects.
Dividend and Share Repurchases
HSBC declared a second dividend of $0.1 per share and announced plans to repurchase up to $3 billion in shares. In the first half of 2025, the bank returned a total of $9.5 billion to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.
Capital Strength Maintained
The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio remained strong at 14.6%, slightly down from 14.7% at the end of 2024. This stability underscores HSBC's robust capital position despite the challenging economic environment.
Revenue and Operating Expenses
Total revenue for the first half of 2025 was $34.1 billion, marking a 9% decrease from the previous year. Operating expenses increased by 3% to $17 billion, driven by higher technology investments and operational costs related to strategic restructuring.
