HSBC: The questions investors want answered on Elhedery's East-West splithttps://stocks.apple.com/ANYQNcIyvSt2kaCuKUYmuiQspud

Not invested here but note this company currently qualifies as the holy grail for investors with the double 7. For the uninitiated this is a p/e and dividend both around 7. HSBC has offices in 50 major cities in China more than any other foreign bank. With the multi billion injection from Chinese government into their economy, does the team on this BB think HSBC will benefit?

I dislike that habit of some analysts of adding buybacks to divis and showing the resulting "yield" as an ultra high figure, thereby giving an utterly misleading view of a share to the naive.

Yield is based on divis as a percentage of the share price and that's all there is to it. Clear, simple, factual in stating what the investor will receive in cash.

Views are divided on the merits of BBs but whatever your opinion, they are not part of "yield".

I don't follow them that much but Amazon is down 10% less so the others. I know a lot of younger investors don't even bother with the UK and only buy US Trackers and Shares. It's no wonder it's got so high with money going in from everywhere, whereas we struggle to get anywhere near NAV!

Yes a calm investor head needed on silly sausage days. The share price was about this sort of levels just last month.

Massive inflation beating divi increase of 90.6% for 2023 to US 61¢ (2022 32¢). As purely a long term income investor, this was very good news for me though their divi record has been patchy over the years.

HSBC regains crown as top UK dividend payer for first time since GFC

Overall UK dividends down 3.7%

Last year, banks overtook any other sector in terms of dividend payments, something that has not happened since before the Global Financial Crisis, Computershare noted.


Last year, banks overtook any other sector in terms of dividend payments, something that has not happened since before the Global Financial Crisis, Computershare noted.

HSBC has topped the list of UK dividend payers for 2023, a spot it has not held since 2008, after fully restoring its quarterly payouts last year.

Data from Computershare's Dividend Monitor published today (25 January) revealed 2023 marked the second consecutive year in which banks made the largest contribution to UK dividend growth, with payouts rising by almost a third to £13.8bn.

European dividend payouts forecast to rise by 6.5% in 2024

Last year, banks also overtook any other sector in terms of dividend payments, an event that has not occurred since before the Global Financial Crisis, Computershare noted.

However, overall UK dividends fell by 3.7% to £90.5bn over 2023, due to a decrease in one-off special dividends, although regular dividends grew by 5.4% to £88.5bn.

Mark Cleland, CEO issuer services UK, Channel Islands, Ireland and Africa at Computershare, said: "The return to prominence by the banks is really remarkable. 13 years of rock-bottom interest rates made it very hard for the sector to make profits, but the need to quell inflation with higher interest rates means the last two years have delivered a dramatic turnaround. Bank investors are reaping the dividends of this reversal and we expect them to see even larger payouts in 2024."

The oil and utility sectors followed suit, with high energy prices driving a 15.8% increase in dividends from the oil sector, whereas inflation-linked dividend policies drove record dividends from utilities.

The biggest detraction came from the mining sector, the firm found, as commodity prices and profits weakened throughout the year.

Total dividends paid by the mining sector dropped to £4.5bn - down more than a quarter year-on-year - including special dividends, which are "common in the highly cyclical industry", Computershare said.

Despite this, the sector still accounted for £1 in every £8 distributed by UK companies in 2023.

FTSE 100 dividend forecasts fall 10% for 2023 and 2024

The Dividend Monitor highlighted dividend growth was also slowed by large share buybacks undertaken last year, which impacted the total amount of dividends paid as their aim is to reduce the number of shares in issue.

Computershare argued dividend growth would have been a third faster last year had buybacks not been issued, adding it would have been even faster if "a small proportion of buyback cash had been diverted to dividends".

The report forecast a slower dividend growth for 2024 at 2%, with regular dividends expected to pay £89.8bn this year.

However, special dividends are expected to recover and "at least make up for the negative impact of a stronger pound" and drive the headline total up 3.7% to £93.9bn.

Cleland added: "There was a lot to be cheerful about in 2023, even if lower one-off payments masked the solid progress UK dividends made. UK plc is generating a lot of cash, which means underlying dividend growth was very encouraging in 2023.

"Payouts may well remain below their pre-pandemic highs, but significantly larger share buyback programmes have provided an alternative route for channelling surplus capital to shareholders. These programmes also conceal the extent to which dividends are really growing by reducing the number of shares in issue. This is not to say that either buybacks or dividends are superior - they just represent a different way of cutting the cake."

HSBC joins banks in deep value territory as yield hits 10%

This year's dividend from Asia-focused lender is expected to double 2022's payout.

BY ALGY HALL, DANIEL GROTE

Shares in AAA-rated HSBC (GB:HSBA) are trading in deep value territory as the Asia-focused lender’s forecast dividend yield hits 10% for the first time since the global financial crisis.

HSBC, which owes its top Citywire Elite Companies rating to its backing by 14 top-performing fund managers, has joined a raft of other top-rated banks highlighted by our regular screen for deep value stocks.

That’s despite a creditable performance from the shares in a bad year for banks, after the collapse of US lender Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in March sparked fears for the sector.

Shares in HSBC, which bought SVB’s UK arm following the bank’s collapse, have returned 27% in 2023, outperforming the FTSE 100’s other banks. Yet its forecast dividend yield of 10.4% over the next 12 months also trumps its London-listed blue-chip rivals.

That’s because HSBC’s rising forecast dividend yield is the product not of a falling share price, but increased dividend expectations.

Analysts expect the bank’s dividends to double this year to 64¢, up from 32¢ in 2022, with the bulk of those payments coming from 2023’s yet-to-be-declared final quarterly payout.

Those higher dividend expectations are driven by increased earnings forecasts. The bank has committed to a 50% payout ratio for 2023 and 2024, ‘excluding material notable items’. HSBC had previously targeted paying out between 40% and 55% of earnings.

HSBC’s dividend prospects have helped to cement the bank’s standing among income investors after the interruption to payouts during the pandemic. Three of the bank’s 12 Elite Investors run funds with an income focus.

The bank this year resumed quarterly payments, which had been its practice prior to the Covid outbreak. HSBC also plans to distribute a 21¢ one-off dividend from the proceeds of the sale of its Canadian banking business, expected to be paid early next year.
