The latest announcement is out from HSBC Holdings ( (GB:HSBA) ).
HSBC reported 2025 results marked by strong underlying performance despite lower reported profit before tax of $29.9bn, down $2.4bn due to $4.9bn of adverse notable items including BoCom-related losses, French portfolio reserve recycling, legal provisions and restructuring costs. Excluding notable items and on a constant currency basis, profit before tax rose to $36.6bn, revenue increased 4% to $68.3bn, RoTE improved to 17.2%, and the bank expanded lending and deposits while maintaining a 14.9% CET1 ratio.
Management highlighted robust growth in wealth and wholesale transaction banking, higher net interest income aided by structural hedge reinvestment, and disciplined cost control with target-basis expenses up 3% despite heavy investment in technology and inflationary pressures. HSBC raised its ambition to target a 17% or better RoTE and steady revenue growth through 2028, signalling confidence in its simplified, more agile operating model and its ability to continue delivering capital returns, including a total 2025 dividend of $0.75 per share.
