Thanks CWA1.

This is worth a read… hxxps://davidbuik.wordpress.com/2015/06/09/todays-fayre-hsbc/

'Otherwise I think HSBC’s board may well be giving due consideration to IPO its UK branches in the name of Midland Bank, unless there was a willing buyer, which would make a much more clinical deal.'

You heard it hear first!

Where were the job cuts announced marko? I didn't see anything about that in this morning's RNS.

[marko1961] 09/6/2015 06:35

Hsbc cutting 20,000 jobs and around 8,000 in uk. Wow

[marko1961] 04/6/2015 09:37

Looks like the swiss are coming out with an update about hsbc today. Thats why i sold

[marko1961] 04/6/2015 09:25

I have just sold @£6.16

That was then now we have a new story line - current valuation of a bank and how to make it profitable because it really isn't at the moment according to experts in how banks should be valued.

I noticed today that between 5 and 10,000 people could loose their jobs worldwide with HSBC...........now there's a calculation as to what that impact would have quite apart from a 2p up or 5p down in the price!!

By the way the shares are over £6 now so did you or have you sold?

[marko1961] 02/6/2015 08:53

Anley. I remember people saying you wont get hsbc under £6.00And i bought 10,000 At £4.40 and am still holding im ok till they break £6.00 then i will sellSo never say neverAnd crazi. You go for it buy when your happy with the price your paying.

[anley] 29/5/2015 10:13

CRAZI.........I don't think you will be able to buy back at around 590p..............go and buy the Telegraph and find the article which sets out the options and value for HSBC.........25%+ higher than today's price!!

[neilyb675] 20/5/2015 20:41

6p - maybe more if its a down day on the FTSE.

[specul82] 20/5/2015 20:24

Will this drop tomorrow and by how much because of the dividend

[crazi] 13/5/2015 18:59

I'm waiting for a re-entry point. Anything around 590 will do me.

I've always expected a rally the week before ex div but it seldom comes. I found when holding the price tends to get driven down so the chosen few can grab some cheap last minute...

[keith95] 12/5/2015 23:36

.. so what Macquarie are saying is that HSBC will simply keep on delivering 5% return each year ....

520 sounds good to me .... but I could wish .... maybe Macquarie would like to sell me some at this price now?

[tanelorn] 12/5/2015 13:42

580- as per my view, not 850 shorly!!!!!

Macquarie downgrades HSBC and StanChart

Tue 12 May 2015 09:03 | A A A .



No recommendation


On Tuesday analysts at Macquarie downgraded their recommendations on shares of HSBC and Standard Chartered.

The Australia-based broker lowered its recommendation on the former by two notches to underperform.

The broker thinks it may be the first big bank to break-up.

They set a price target of 520p.

"We would buy the breakup story but only after it becomes more certain. There is the risk that HSBC simply accepts to barely earn its cost of equity (CoE) just to keep the global empire together which would make HSBC a value trap we think," analysts Thomas Stoegner and Ken Ang wrote in a research note e-mailed to clients.

Stoegner and Ang also lowered their view on shares of StanChart in the same note, downgrading them to underperform with a target price of 850p.

StanChart must restructure its business substantially or risk becoming a take-over target, they believe.

Ex divi 21st may? - suspect the price will rally today, and the days a head?, if not, i'll buy in at 580

[crazi] 08/5/2015 17:56

Bank levy will increase...Tories will increase it to help cover other upcoming deep cuts...

[anley] 08/5/2015 17:31

They will move...........

[jeffian] 08/5/2015 10:42

I don't know. There's still a further 'bank levy' even with Osborne and HSBA are none too happy with UK/EU regulation and requirements to ringfence the retail bank.

[tanelorn] 08/5/2015 10:32

A conservative victory makes it less likely HSBC will leave the UK, imo. The bank levy will unlikely increase beyond that already declared, and HSBC's view on the UK leaving the euro block is only a 'red herring'.

[tanelorn] 05/5/2015 15:58

It'll be interesting to see how HK reacts early morning.

[nigthepig] 05/5/2015 11:51

Keith - results looked pretty good to me as well.
