Market Positioning
What's Happening
HSBC posts stable underlying first-quarter profit
On 2026-05-05, HSBC reported 1Q26 profit before tax of USD 9.4 billion, down USD 0.1 billion year on year, while profit before tax excluding notable items was USD 10.1 billion and broadly stable versus 1Q25. The key takeaway is that revenue growth was still strong — USD 18.6 billion, up 6% — but higher expected credit losses and operating expenses were enough to hold back reported earnings.
The Bigger Picture
Macro context will be updated shortly
Upcoming Catalysts
Updated 31d agoHSBC’s next major reporting date is expected in early August 2026, based on its historical schedule. Investors will watch whether banking NII remains near the company’s guided path and whether credit costs stay contained.
The half-year release should also update the market on dividend capacity and capital generation, especially with CET1 at 14.0% in 1Q26. Any change in payout tone would matter more than the exact dividend math alone.
Management’s 2026 ECL view is one of the clearest swing factors after 1Q26. The market will want to see whether the company still expects the macro backdrop to keep credit losses elevated at the current pace.
