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.
