HSBC Q2 earnings beat forecast, announces $2 billion share buyback

HSBC’s net profit more than doubled to $18.1 billion in the six months ended June, a sharp spike compared to the $9 billion in the same period a year before.

The bank’s profit before tax rose 147% year-on-year to $21.7 billion, up from $8.78 billion in the first half of 2022.

This figure included a $2.1 billion reversal of an impairment relating to the planned sale of its retail banking operations in France, as well as a provisional gain of $1.5 billion on the acquisition of Silicon Valley Bank UK.

In light of the strong results, HSBC’s board approved a second interim dividend of $0.10 per share, and announced a further share buyback of up to $2 billion, which “we expect to commence shortly and complete within three months.”

In March, the U.K. arm of HSBC — Europe’s largest bank by assets — bought SVB U.K. for £1 ($1.21), in a deal that excludes the assets and liabilities of SVB U.K.’s parent company.

Revenue increased by 50% year-on-year to $36.9 billion in the first half, which HSBC said was driven by higher net interest income across all its global businesses due to interest rate rises.

Net interest income for the first half stood at $18.3 billion, 36% higher year-on-year, while net interest margin came in 46 basis points higher at 1.70%.

Solid second quarter

For the second quarter alone, HSBC beat analysts’ expectations to report an 89% jump in pre-tax profit in the second quarter.

Pre-tax profit for the quarter ended in June was $8.77 billion, beating expectations of $7.96 billion.

Net profit was $6.64 billion, beating the $6.35 billion expected in analysts’ estimates compiled by the bank, jumping 27% compared to the same period a year before.

Total revenue for the second quarter came in at $16.71 billion, 38% higher than the $12.1 billion seen in the same period a year ago.

HSBC’s Hong Kong listed shares rose 0.23% after the announcement.

Here are other highlights of the bank’s financial report card:

  • Net interest income came in at $9.3 billion in the second quarter, compared to $6.9 billion in the same period a year ago.
  • Net interest margin, a measure of lending profitability, rose 43 basis points year on year to 1.72% in the second quarter of 2023.

Moving forward, HSBC has also raised a key performance target, forecasting a near term return on equity of 12%, compared to its previous target of 9.9%.

Writing in the bank’s interim report, CEO Noel Quinn said “As a result of the work done to transform HSBC, including to reposition our portfolio, create broad-based profit generation, maintain strong cost discipline and introduce a sustainable dividend, we built a strong platform for growth.”

Correction: This story has been updated to reflect that net interest margin rose 43 basis points in the second quarter of 2023. An earlier version misstated the year.
