‘Undervalued’ HSBC gains control of its cost base -

HSBC (HSBA) is starting to show it is in control of its cost base and is undervalued at the current price.

Berenberg analyst James Chappell retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 600p on the shares, which fell 1.2p to 428.8p yesterday.

‘Two quarters do not make a whole but HSBC is beginning to demonstrate control of its cost base and should be able to deliver on its 2017 cost promise,’ he said.

‘Alongside this, management remains as risk-focused as ever, which means the dividend is sustainable, in our view.

As risk continues to be repriced, HSBC’s risk focus should come to the fore and the dividend yield should provide support as the year progresses. We continue to believe that concerns are overdone and HSBC is undervalued at current levels.’

Chappell added that cutting the dividend made no sense for the bank and it should return capital to shareholders.

‘In a world where there are few opportunities to reinvest capital to generate a 10% return, cutting the dividend seems the worst thing to do. HSBC remains risk disciplined so seems unlikely to waste the capital just to satisfy the market and boost revenues in the short term.

‘The best thing for HSBC to do is to return it to investors as they probably believe they have a better use for the capital.’

Evening gents, Monty speaks sense , those who have chosen to be enlightened hear the words of wisdom. These analysts are keeping their jobs by pure luck and of a knowledge of financial instruments, these markets aren't like the old days where the probabilities of a rise/fall due to sequence of events could be worth taking a punt on. Nobody saw Apple getting hit, did they? Next week hsba will rally and there will be no explanation but the analysts will have a explanation. I beg you to differ.

Read AlphaValue's note on HSBC HOLDINGS PLC (HSBA), out this morning, by visiting hxxps://www.research-tree.com/company/GB0005405286

"HSBC’s quarterly profits remained affected by adverse market conditions. However, in such an environment, the group managed to post decent returns which are on track with its intermediary financial objectives. The interim dividend was kept unchanged at $0.10, as was the group’s solvency position..."

[marko1961] 11/5/2016 15:42

Shore Capital: sell HSBC when shares reach 500p -

Shore Capital analyst Gary Greenwood retained his ‘hold’ recommendation on HSBC Holdings (HSBA) despite the 18% drop in the bank’s first quarter profits.

The global bank reported net profit of $4.3 billion, which Greenwood said was 11% ahead of expectations.

‘We expect the better-than-expected Q1 result to be welcomed by the market which should drive a positive share price reaction. However, given the volatility in quarterly numbers we are minded not to extrapolate this performance.

‘At this early stage of the year we therefore leave our full-year, pre-tax profit forecast of $20,681 million unchanged, implying a broadly flat performance year on year, albeit noting the better than expected start,’ he said.

‘We upgraded to “hold” last month when the shares fell to around 430p but if the shares were to rise above 500p again then we would see this as a selling opportunity.’

HSBC shares closed 7.5p or 1.7% lower at 445p.
