HSBC's third-quarter profit jumps 32%, in line with estimates

Rate hikes lifted net interest income and wealth management drew new clients, while expected credit losses fell 17% to $800 million, HSBC said.

  • On Tuesday, HSBC reported a 32% surge in third-quarter pretax profit to $9.6 billion, aligning with the average analyst estimate of $9.7 billion for Europe's largest bank.
  • Rate hikes boosted net interest income during the July-September quarter, while the wealth management division attracted new clients amid turbulent market conditions.
  • Revenue rose to $18.6 billion with operating expenses decreasing 12%, while expected credit losses tumbled 17% to $800 million, aided by reduced charges linked to Hong Kong's real estate sector.
  • Shareholders will receive an interim dividend of $0.1 per share, consistent with the previous quarter, and HSBC unveiled a share buyback program of up to $1 billion.
  • HSBC is reportedly considering significant job cuts within its U.K. wealth management business as part of a broader push to adopt artificial intelligence throughout the bank.
