Description: HSBC HSBC Holdings

HSBC Holdings plc (NYSE:HSBC) is a globally diversified bank that delivers banking and financial services through three core segments: Wealth & Personal Banking, Commercial Banking, and Global Banking & Markets.

The Wealth & Personal Banking segment targets retail and high-net-worth clients with products such as current and savings accounts, mortgages, personal loans, credit/debit cards, payments, insurance, and investment management services.

The Commercial Banking segment serves SMEs, mid-market firms, and large corporates, offering credit, treasury and cash-management solutions, trade finance, foreign-exchange, capital-raising on debt and equity markets, and advisory services.

The Global Banking & Markets segment provides financing, advisory, and transaction services to governments, corporates, institutional investors, and private investors, covering credit, rates, FX, equities, money markets, securities, and investment banking activities.

Key recent metrics: HSBC reported a 2023 net profit of $13.5 billion, a CET1 capital ratio of 15.9 % (well above the Basel III minimum), and a 2022-23 revenue composition of roughly 45 % from Asia-Pacific, underscoring the bank’s reliance on the region’s faster-growing economies.

Sector drivers that materially affect HSBC include the global interest-rate environment (higher rates boost net interest margins but can pressure loan demand), regulatory capital requirements, and the pace of digital transformation in banking, where HSBC has invested over $5 billion in fintech and online platforms since 2020.
