(ShareCast News) - Morgan Stanley upgraded HSBC to 'equal weight' from 'underweight' and raised its price target to 645p from 550p. The broker upgraded the bank's stock as the revenue outlook has improved on better Asia pacific (APAC) loan growth and higher rates. "We have had an underweight rating on HSBC as we were concerned around risks to the dividend and what we saw as too optimistic revenue assumptions from consensus given the Asian growth outlook and US rate picture." After strong capital build in the third quarter, increased optimism around HSBC's APAC loan growth and a sharp increase in US interest rate expectations we are now modelling earnings ahead of consensus for 2016 to 2019 estimates. While we still see better value elsewhere we no longer see material downside risk to the share price from here, said the note. HSBC's share price rose 2.99% to 645.60p at 0938 GMT on Tuesday.

Can't see why this is up so much today?

[fozzyb] 24/11/2016 15:55

Yes was tracking itv but am already in ETO and also overweight in CARD which is doing miserably right now but a solid LT hold I feel. Will continue to hold HSBC as if it does attack that high cost base, it could further re rate and share repurchase still to complete, at 7 I would be very twitchy though

fozzyb, GSK,ITV,or VOD,look good value atm.But if you own CARD put the proceeds from HSBC into CARD.Has you know near a year low and oversold.

Anyone else holding with a view to selling a few/ top slicing? I will have to let a few out at 665 but the question is rotate into what?

[philo124] 23/11/2016 11:12

Was in profit momentarily on 1 of my 3 holdings.

[jeffian] 15/11/2016 13:57

In the old days, interest rates were higher. 0.05% on £1billion is.......£500,000. It's a fleabite in any terms.

Great call on the trump victory Brahms. Only person I know who called that bang on.

There's an article in The Times business section today which indicates that the US authorities are concerned that a very high percentage of HSBC's existing compliance staff are not prepared to move to their new Birmingham HQ. Indeed, in the first draft of the authorities report it was referred to as "a crisis", but has been slightly downgraded from that now as HSBC believes there will be a sufficient pool of suitable new staff in the Birmingham area to reduce the problem.

Doh! I'm not talking about the fact they need to notify me about the change, I'm wondering what genius at the bank thought that adjustment was necessary. The notification probably cost them more than the savings they'll make and the fact that half of nothing is nothing is just rubbing customers' noses in the dirt.

[jeffian] 08/11/2016 12:45

As a customer, I've just been notified that the interest they pay on my deposits will reduce from 0.1% to 0.05%........! I don't get it. They already pay nothing and now they'll pay less and the benefit to them will be negligible. What's it all about? These are crazy times.

We had completed 59% of our $2.5bn equity buy-back at 31 October. We expect to finish the programme by the end of 2016 or early in the first quarter of 2017, depending on market trading volumes in the fourth quarter.

Thanks Brahms, my thoughts exactly though I haven't yet taken a spread bet on a Trump victory, which is looking more likely every day. I did sell my HSBA, this morning along with Barclays and a few retailers but like you I've kept my oil and resource stocks. Hard to tell what kind of fall we might see if he does win but I'm fairly certain there would be one, though I'm not sure the market would be much more impressed with a Clinton win given the circumstances. I've freed up some cash anyway so whatever happens I cab react accordingly.Good luck to you too.

[brahmsnliszt] 04/11/2016 08:46

I think its transpiring as I imagined it since last Friday with the FBI coming out with their announcement in that markets will gradually sell off in the sudden realisation that Trump could actually do it. If he does, (I have a decent spread bet on that) then indeed, markets probably will see a bit of a dive. As to the dust settling after and where the mkts gravitate to, only time will tell. Not sure if we will see such a good rally as we have seen in the FTSE since Brexit but then again what do I know..... Some retired UK military guy yesterday said that Trump could actually be positive for international relations/peace with the key super powers and I have to agree. Over time as always markets will calm i'm sure and what we will see will only be more buying opportunities.
Just got to keep enough in the locker to take advantage of those times.

For me, the resource sector (mining/gas)should benefit over time and believe we are in for another positive cycle coming up.

Good luck

Brahms, like you I have concerns over the US election and am considering selling to lock in recent games, Barclays too. What do you think the effect will be on a Trump win and which sectors do you think would be hit or helped most?

[brahmsnliszt] 02/11/2016 09:13

breaking uptrend support and sold yesterday the majority and small today. Completely out. Will restock after the US elections. Been a fine run and will get on board again before the next bumper divi in the new year.

Only if the broker breaks FCA rules, which IMV makes them crooks:
