HSBC Holdings reported strong 1H26 results, with profit before tax rising to $19.5bn, up $3.7bn or 23% from 1H25, and profit after tax of $15.3bn. Return on average tangible equity reached 18.2% (19.1% excluding notable items). Revenue increased 11% to $37.7bn, driven by higher banking net interest income, strong Wealth and Wholesale Transaction Banking fee growth, and a one-off $0.2bn property gain. Net interest income grew by $1.4bn, with banking NII at $22.9bn, and net interest margin improved to 1.61%.
Credit costs and capital were more mixed. Expected credit losses were $2.4bn, $0.4bn higher than 1H25, including a $0.4bn fraud-related wholesale exposure in the UK, $0.2bn related to Hong Kong commercial real estate and allowances linked to the conflict in the Middle East. Customer lending and accounts grew by $34bn and $41bn respectively versus 31 December 2025. The CET1 ratio declined to 14.1%, down 0.8 percentage points, reflecting the privatisation of Hang Seng Bank, dividends and higher RWAs. The Board approved a second interim dividend of $0.10 per share and plans a share buy-back of up to $1bn, expected to complete by the 3Q26 results announcement.
