HSBC repurchases $527.5M of shares since 5 Aug

HSBC reports continued execution of its August 2026 share buy-back, with over 25.6 million shares repurchased to date for about US$527.5 million.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

HSBC Holdings plc (HSBC) reports repurchases of its own shares on September 3, 2026 as part of the share buy-back announced on August 5, 2026. The company bought 10,000 ordinary shares of US$0.50 each on UK venues at a volume-weighted average price of £15.5481 and 440,000 ordinary shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at a volume-weighted average price of HK$163.4813, for cancellation.

Since the commencement of this buy-back, HSBC reports repurchasing 25,616,214 shares for approximate total consideration of US$527.5 million. Following cancellation of the shares repurchased on UK venues on September 3, 2026, the company’s issued ordinary share capital and total voting rights are 17,166,063,783 shares, with no ordinary shares held in treasury.

Filing Explained

The next total-voting-rights announcement will show when the Hong Kong repurchases are reflected.

As a Form 6-K interim report, this filing updates the buy-back’s lifecycle: HSBC says the 440,000 shares bought on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on September 3, 2026 have not yet been cancelled, so they are not yet reflected in the issued-share and voting-rights total.

The UK purchases were made as on-exchange market purchases, while the Hong Kong purchases were off-market under UK company law but on-exchange under Hong Kong listing rules; both were designated for cancellation.

HSBC says a further total-voting-rights announcement will follow once the Hong Kong shares have been cancelled.

The total voting rights number is the count of shares that carry the right to vote at a company’s shareholder meetings, reflecting how much voting power exists in the market. Investors use it to understand control and influence—like knowing how many votes are in play when measuring ownership stakes, calculating a shareholder’s voting percentage, or assessing how easy it would be for a holder to sway decisions.

*This represents the Company's issued ordinary share capital and total voting rights, following the cancellation of the shares referred to above which have been repurchased today on the UK Venues. There are no ordinary shares held in treasury. This total voting rights figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Cancellation of the shares repurchased today on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange takes longer than those repurchased on the UK Venues and a further announcement of total voting rights will be made once those shares have been cancelled.
