HSBC Holdings ( (GB:HSBA) ) just unveiled an announcement.

HSBC Holdings reported a decrease in profit before tax by $5.7 billion to $15.8 billion in the first half of 2025, primarily due to dilution and impairment losses related to its associate Bank of Communications Co., Limited, and the non-recurrence of gains from previous business disposals. Despite these challenges, the company saw growth in revenue from Wealth, Foreign Exchange, and Debt and Equity Markets, driven by volatile market conditions. HSBC remains focused on its strategic goals, aiming for a mid-teens return on tangible equity and managing economic uncertainties while continuing to invest in technology and organizational simplification. The board approved a second interim dividend and plans a share buy-back, signaling confidence in future performance.
