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.

Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

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

  • The current debt-to-equity ratio of 0.65 indicates a moderate level of debt, which could pose risks in times of economic downturns.
  • HSBC Holdings plc has a current ratio of 0.86, suggesting potential liquidity issues, as it may not have enough short-term assets to cover its short-term liabilities.
  • The quick ratio of 0.93 further emphasizes concerns about the company's ability to meet its short-term obligations without relying on inventory sales.
  • Despite a positive outlook, the average rating of "Hold" from analysts suggests that there may be limited upside potential in the near term.
  • The company's net margin of 13.48% is decent, but it may not be sufficient to compete with higher-margin competitors in the financial services industry.
