Excluding notable items, 2025 return on tangible equity was 17.2%, revenue rose 5% to US$71bn, and profit before tax grew 7% to US$36.6bn. Management is targeting RoTE of 17% or better and year-on-year revenue growth through 2028, while maintaining a 50% dividend payout ratio.
HSBC Holdings plc is reshaping its board and committee structure following regulatory approval. Richard Henry Meddings is appointed as an independent non-executive Director, joining the Group Audit, Group Risk and Nomination & Corporate Governance Committees, and will succeed Brendan Nelson as Chair of the Group Audit Committee after the Interim Results on 4 August 2026.
Eileen Murray becomes Senior independent non-executive Director of HSBC Holdings plc and independent non-executive Chair of HSBC Bank plc, stepping down from the Group Risk Committee. Ann Godbehere will retire as an independent non-executive Director after the 2026 AGM, receiving pro rata fees for May 2026 only.

HSBC Holdings plc reported 1Q26 profit before tax of $9.4bn, slightly below 1Q25, as higher credit charges and operating costs offset stronger revenue. Profit after tax was $7.4bn, and annualised return on average tangible equity was 17.3%, or 18.7% excluding notable items.
Revenue rose 6% year on year to $18.6bn, driven by Wealth fee growth and higher banking net interest income of $11.3bn. Expected credit losses increased to $1.3bn, including a $0.4bn fraud-related UK exposure and a $0.3bn overlay linked to the new Middle East conflict. Operating expenses grew 8% to $8.7bn amid inflation and technology investment, partly offset by simplification savings.
HSBC declared a first interim dividend of $0.10 per share. Management reaffirmed its RoTE target of 17% or better for 2026–2028, raised 2026 banking net interest income guidance to around $46bn, and now expects 2026 ECL at about 45% of average gross loans, reflecting a more uncertain macroeconomic outlook.
