Neither did I, EssentialI , and rather surprised at the recovery throughout the day.

Congrats to anyone who bought the dip, did not see that one,
thought a re-test of recent low was on the cards.

[smurfy2001] 22/2/2016 15:02

Nice recovery.

So long as they keep the dividend in dollars I dont care where they go

HSBC has never been "on UK taxpayers books". It was not one of the banks needing a bailout.

Dope007 - Has someone upset you this morning???

[losos] 22/2/2016 11:29

ianood - "I would much prefer HSBC being regulated in the UK."

You and me both!!! Seems like the only sensible choice, for once logic has prevailed.

[losos] 22/2/2016 11:26

jeffian - "why would a Western capitalist bank put itself under the control of the Chinese communist regime?"

Yes, that is a good point, so all the little snippets of news filtering out over the past year was probably a well conducted campaign to get some protection in the City, cynical I know, but looks that way now.

Drop overdone here. I'm in for a few with a nice juicy dividend yield.

[smurfy2001] 22/2/2016 08:40

[stevenrevell] 22/2/2016 08:26

How low is this goin

[jimbox1] 22/2/2016 08:00

The dollar-based dividend is the main attraction from my point of view, especially with the likelihood of sterling weakness in the coming weeks on Brexit fears.

Outlook...

Current market conditions are inevitably concentrating attention on the risks that exist within the global economy. It is, however, important also to recognise again the resilience that our diversified business model and balance sheet strength provide, as well as noting the many counterbalances that should help to underpin the global economy.

China's slower economic growth will undoubtedly contribute to a bumpier financial environment, but it is still expected to be the largest contributor to global growth as its economy transitions to higher added value manufacturing and services and becomes more consumer driven. This transition is driving our focus on the Pearl River Delta as a priority growth opportunity given its concentration of high tech, research focused and digital businesses.

There is a real possibility of meaningful stimulus for the global economy to come from further trade liberalisation initiatives such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, which was signed earlier this month.

The global focus on infrastructure development, most notably the Belt and Road initiative in China and the Juncker plan in Europe will expand public/ private financing opportunities.

Similarly, the agreements reached on climate change at the recent COP21 conference in Paris will require further significant infrastructure renewal. They will also greatly expand the market for sustainable financing options such as green bonds where HSBC is a leading participant. Reinforcing this position, the Group recently committed $1bn to a green bond portfolio to fund projects in sectors such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, clean transportation and climate change adaption as well as SME financing in sectors such as public transport, education and healthcare.

Technology advancements in financial services are broadening access, improving customer service and lowering the costs of service delivery. At the same time, the amount of data held digitally is exploding, reinforcing the need to bolster cyber security. There is an urgent public policy need to clarify how responsibility is to be shared, given the growing number of routes through which customers can authorise movement of money from their accounts or the sharing of data within these accounts.

We enter 2016 with a clear strategy and with much of the Group's required reshaping completed or under way. Our 264,000 staff, like their predecessors, went the extra mile consistently throughout 2015 to meet the demands placed on them by our customers, regulators and the public. I want to place on the record the Board's appreciation of that commitment and our gratitude for what they have achieved to make HSBC fit for the next 150 years.

On the dividend going forward...
"In approving the dividend increase, the Board noted that prospective dividend growth remained dependent upon the long-term overall profitability of the Group and delivering further release of less efficiently deployed capital. Actions to address these points are core elements of the Investor Update provided last June."

down 3 % in hongkong already

[seball] 22/2/2016 06:37

Results not as good as city expected. Will see this drop off around 1% this morning I reckon. How ever could finish day up as the good news is keeping dividend. So not all bad. Still made a profit for 2015 and those buying in today could make a nice profit over the long term.

[togglebrush] 22/2/2016 06:30
