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

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

  • The current ratio of 0.86 indicates that the company may have difficulty meeting its short-term liabilities, which could raise concerns about liquidity.
  • Despite a positive EPS, the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 13.02 suggests that the stock may be overvalued compared to its earnings, which could deter value investors.
  • HSBC's beta of 0.60 indicates lower volatility compared to the market, which may not appeal to investors seeking high-growth opportunities.
  • The dividend payout ratio of 39.21% may limit the company's ability to reinvest profits into growth initiatives, potentially affecting long-term performance.
  • Market conditions and regulatory challenges in the financial sector could pose risks to HSBC's future profitability and stock performance.
