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.

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

  • The current stock price is around $65.96, which is near its fifty-day moving average, indicating potential stability in the short term.
  • HSBC Holdings plc reported strong earnings recently, with an EPS of $1.95, surpassing analyst expectations, which reflects robust financial health and operational efficiency.
  • The company has a solid dividend yield of approximately 3.0%, providing a steady income stream for investors, which is attractive in a low-interest-rate environment.

HSBC
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

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

  • The stock has a relatively low beta of 0.62, indicating lower volatility compared to the market, which may limit potential high returns for aggressive investors.
  • Despite recent positive earnings, the company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.65, which may raise concerns about financial leverage and risk in a rising interest rate environment.
  • Analysts have mixed ratings, with a consensus rating of "Hold," suggesting that there may not be strong enough bullish sentiment to drive significant price increases in the near term.
  • The company's current ratio of 0.86 indicates that it may face challenges in meeting short-term liabilities, which could affect liquidity and operational flexibility.
  • HSBC's recent downgrade from a "strong-buy" to a "hold" by Zacks Research may signal caution among investors regarding its future performance.
