HSBC annual pre-tax profit drops over 7%, revenue jumps as bank’s results top estimates
HSBC’s 2025 pre-tax profit fell about 7% to $29.9 billion due to legal, restructuring, and impairment charges despite a 42% revenue jump in Q4, beating estimates.
- On June 14, 2024, HSBC reported 2025 pre-tax profit of $29.91 billion, beating estimates of US$28.86 billion, with revenue up 4%.
- Rising charges and operating expenses of $9.3 billion, reflecting restructuring, technology investment, and higher performance-related pay, pushed HSBC's results lower.
- The group completed the Hang Seng privatization on Jan. 26, 2028, and HSBC announced a final dividend of 45 US cents per share, with revenue of $16.4 billion in Q4.
- The market reaction was mixed as HSBC Holdings outlined return goals for 2026 and beyond with a sustainable dividend policy, while Hong Kong-listed shares fell 0.46%.
- Looking ahead, HSBC plans to use the bonus round to push out underperformers and has suspended buybacks for three quarters, targeting a profitability of 17% or more for 2026–28, as Kathy Chan said, 'We do anticipate revenue and cost synergies between the two brands, but we expect that to come through gradually in the medium term.
