Rhea-AI Filing Summary

On 10 July 2025 HSBC Holdings plc executed another tranche of its US$2.4 billion share-buyback programme announced on 6 May 2025. The bank repurchased 1,284,042 ordinary shares in total—722,842 on UK venues at a VWAP of £9.1380 and 561,200 on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at a VWAP of HK$96.8409.

Since the programme’s launch, 205,802,251 shares have been acquired for cancellation for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$2.4059 billion.

A separate notice will be released once the Hong Kong shares are cancelled.

The cumulative buy-back represents roughly 1.2 % of the current share base, providing a modest tailwind to EPS and ROE while signalling management’s confidence in the bank’s capital position.

Verrà pubblicato un avviso separato una volta cancellate le azioni di Hong Kong.

Il riacquisto cumulativo rappresenta circa il 1,2% dell'attuale base azionaria, offrendo un leggero impulso all'utile per azione (EPS) e al rendimento del capitale proprio (ROE), segnalando al contempo la fiducia della direzione nella posizione patrimoniale della banca.

2025년 7월 10일 HSBC 홀딩스 plc는 2025년 5월 6일 발표한 24억 미 달러 규모의 자사주 매입 프로그램의 또 다른 분할을 실행했습니다. 은행은 총 1,284,042 보통주를 매입했으며, 그중 722,842주는 영국 시장에서 VWAP £9.1380에, 561,200주는 홍콩 증권거래소에서 VWAP HK$96.8409에 매입했습니다.

프로그램 시작 이후 총 205,802,251주의 주식을 취소를 위해 매입했으며, 총 매입 금액은 약 24.059억 미 달러에 달합니다. 영국 시장 주식 취소 후 HSBC의 발행 주식 자본은 17,454,203,886개의 의결권 주식으로, 자기주식은 없습니다. 홍콩 주식 취소 시 별도의 공지가 있을 예정입니다.

누적 자사주 매입은 현재 주식 총수의 약 1.2%에 해당하며, 주당순이익(EPS)과 자기자본이익률(ROE)에 소폭 긍정적인 영향을 주며, 경영진이 은행의 자본 상태에 대해 자신감을 갖고 있음을 나타냅니다.

Le 10 juillet 2025, HSBC Holdings plc a réalisé une nouvelle tranche de son programme de rachat d'actions d'un montant de 2,4 milliards de dollars américains annoncé le 6 mai 2025. La banque a racheté au total 1 284 042 actions ordinaires—722 842 sur les places britanniques à un prix moyen pondéré (VWAP) de £9,1380 et 561 200 à la Bourse de Hong Kong à un VWAP de HK$96,8409.

Depuis le lancement du programme, 205 802 251 actions ont été acquises en vue de leur annulation pour un montant global d'environ 2,4059 milliards de dollars américains. Après annulation des actions des places britanniques, le capital social émis de HSBC s'élève à 17 454 203 886 actions avec droit de vote, sans actions propres en portefeuille. Un avis séparé sera publié une fois les actions de Hong Kong annulées.

Le rachat cumulé représente environ 1,2 % de la base actuelle d'actions, offrant un léger effet positif sur le bénéfice par action (EPS) et le retour sur fonds propres (ROE), tout en témoignant de la confiance de la direction dans la solidité du capital de la banque.

Am 10. Juli 2025 führte HSBC Holdings plc eine weitere Tranche seines am 6. Mai 2025 angekündigten Aktienrückkaufprogramms über 2,4 Milliarden US-Dollar durch. Die Bank kaufte insgesamt 1.284.042 Stammaktien zurück—722.842 an britischen Handelsplätzen zu einem volumengewichteten Durchschnittskurs (VWAP) von £9,1380 und 561.200 an der Hongkonger Börse zu einem VWAP von HK$96,8409.

Seit Beginn des Programms wurden 205.802.251 Aktien zum Zwecke der Vernichtung zurückgekauft, mit einem Gesamtwert von etwa 2,4059 Milliarden US-Dollar. Nach der Vernichtung der britischen Aktien beträgt das ausgegebene Stammkapital von HSBC 17.454.203.886 stimmberechtigte Aktien, ohne eigene Aktien im Bestand. Eine separate Mitteilung wird veröffentlicht, sobald die Hongkonger Aktien vernichtet wurden.

Der kumulative Rückkauf entspricht etwa 1,2 % des aktuellen Aktienbestands, was einen moderaten Rückenwind für das Ergebnis je Aktie (EPS) und die Eigenkapitalrendite (ROE) darstellt und zugleich das Vertrauen des Managements in die Kapitalausstattung der Bank signalisiert.

Positive
  • 205.8 million shares repurchased since 6 May 2025, returning US$2.406 billion to shareholders
  • Issued share count reduced to 17.45 billion, providing EPS and ROE accretion
Negative
  • None.

Insights

TL;DR: Ongoing US$2.4 bn buy-back trims share count, offers small EPS boost, confirms surplus capital.

The latest 1.28 m-share purchase is routine but underscores steady execution of HSBC’s May 2025 authorisation. Cumulatively 206 m shares (~1.2 % of outstanding) have been retired for US$2.406 bn without straining regulatory capital, implying repurchases at roughly 0.8× tangible book. The reduced denominator (17.45 bn shares) should deliver incremental accretion to EPS and ROE. No adverse disclosures accompanied the filing.

TL;DR: Incrementally positive; capital-return cadence supports sentiment, limited market impact.

This daily update mainly informs progress tracking. The aggregate US$2.4 bn spent equals ~2 % of HSBC’s market cap, reinforcing the shareholder-return story. The day’s volume is modest relative to normal turnover, so liquidity remains unaffected. While not a game-changer, the consistent buying provides downside support and demonstrates discipline in capital deployment.
