HSBC stock (ISIN GB0005405286) fell to EUR 15.47 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 5:40 p.m. CEST, 5.32 percent below the Xetra close of October 26, 2026 at EUR 16.34. According to Yahoo Finance, UBS maintained a neutral rating and raised its 12-month target to GBp 1,501 on October 27, 2026.

Third-quarter earnings set the tone

HSBC reported adjusted profit before tax of USD 10.1 billion for the third quarter of 2026, broadly matching market expectations, while total income fell 2.00 percent short of consensus. The bank maintained its 2026 forecast for banking net interest income at least USD 46.0 billion.

Net new money in wealth management reached USD 41.0 billion in the third quarter, up from USD 25.0 billion in the second quarter. Wealth revenue nevertheless missed consensus by 4.30 percent, partly because USD 150.0 million of prior-period insurance benefits did not recur.

HSBC stock sits below key levels

The euro quotation was EUR 15.47 after the Xetra close, versus EUR 16.34 at the previous Xetra close. On the London Stock Exchange, HSBC was listed at GBp 1,365.40 at 3:01 a.m. GMT on October 27, 2026, according to the company's investor page.

The 2026 movement also reflects a gap between broker views. UBS set a GBp 1,501 target, while Jefferies kept a hold rating with a GBp 1,120 target, according to Yahoo Finance. The two targets frame a wide range for the bank's interest-income outlook.

Results date and capital returns

HSBC's investor calendar dated the third-quarter earnings release October 27, 2026. The same release also covered a USD 1.0 billion share buyback, while management kept its 2026 cost guidance at a 1.00 percent increase from the 2025 base of USD 33.9 billion.

HSBC stock after the Xetra close

For investors, the key contrast is clear: wealth management generated USD 41.0 billion of net new money in the third quarter, but income missed expectations and deposit costs remain a concern. The competing GBp 1,501 and GBp 1,120 targets underline how differently analysts assess the next phase of earnings.
