With a market capitalization of 170.374 billion EUR, the company has a significant presence in global financial markets. Its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 8.08 and forward P/E of 7.72 indicate a valuation that may reflect undervaluation relative to its earnings potential. The price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 0.96 suggests that the stock is trading near its book value, which could signal undervaluation. The return on equity (RoE) of 12.96% highlights the companys ability to generate profits from shareholders equity. With a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 2.78, the stock is moderately valued relative to its revenue.

Based on the provided technical and fundamental data, the 3-month forecast for HSBC Holdings plc (XETRA:HBC1) can be outlined as follows: The stock is currently trading at 9.25 EUR, below its 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages (SMA) of 9.74 and 10.21, respectively. This indicates potential short-term bearish momentum. However, the 200-day SMA of 8.72 provides a key support level, suggesting that the stock may find buying interest at this level. The Average True Range (ATR) of 0.29 indicates moderate volatility, which could lead to price fluctuations within a narrow range. From a fundamental perspective, the forward P/E of 7.72 and the current P/B ratio of 0.96 suggest that the stock may have upside potential, particularly if the company continues to maintain its return on equity of 12.96%. Over the next three months, the stock is likely to test the support level of 8.72 and may face resistance at 10.21. If the stock breaks above the 50-day SMA, it could signal a bullish reversal, with a potential target of 10.50. Conversely, a breach below 8.72 could lead to further downside, with the next support level at 8.00. The stocks valuation metrics, combined with its moderate volatility, suggest a neutral to slightly bullish outlook, with a potential upside of 6-8% over the next quarter.
