HSBC Holdings PLC ADR shares fell 6.84% to $84.97 on Tuesday. The primary driver was a third-quarter earnings report that missed analyst estimates for both revenue and adjusted earnings per share, compounded by a slowdown in the bank's wealth management division.
What Happened
HSBC Holdings plc released its third-quarter 2026 financial results, revealing that adjusted earnings per share came in at $2.10, below the $2.22 estimate. Total sales of $18.62 billion also trailed the $19.092 billion consensus. The bank’s wealth business growth stalled, a factor that contributed to the broader sell-off in European banking stocks. Despite the miss, management stated that the group remains confident in achieving its financial targets set in February and continues to expect full-year 2026 banking net interest income of at least $46 billion. The company also announced plans for $1 billion in share repurchases.
What The Data Shows
The stock opened at $85.29, representing a 6.5% gap down from the prior close of $91.21. Intraday trading saw a session low of $84.62 at 8:30 AM ET and a high of $85.87 at 9:30 AM ET. Volume stood at 0.7 million shares, which is 0.5 times the three-month daily average. Fundamentals show a market cap of $309.5 billion and a P/E ratio of 65.2.
