HSBC Holdings P L C has shown a strong performance in recent years, highlighted by improved metrics such as net interest margin and efficiency ratios. Experts agree that the banking environment could lead to further growth, especially as emerging markets perform better. Some analysts suggest that, while there are healthy gains, selling for the purpose of redeploying may not be necessary as HSBC does not significantly differ from other major banks like JPMorgan or Royal Bank of Canada in the global landscape. There is also recognition that valuations in Europe are relatively more attractive compared to North America, which might set the stage for potential upside. Overall, the bank's quality and its cleaned-up balance sheet provide reasons for holding onto the stock for future gains.

BUY

Great bank. Have over 10,000 offices globally. Integrated asset management. Own 10% of a Chinese bank, which he thinks will be a winner for them. Very strong position in Asia. 4.6% dividend should be safe.

BUY

Very well run global company. More retail oriented. At these levels, it is one of the better banks to buy.

BUY

Has languished quite a bit over the last little while. One of the finest banks in the world. Good integration. Growing in asset-management.

DON'T BUY

Stock has been going sideways because their earnings growth quality is starting to slow down a bit. This would not be his choice in the sector.

DON'T BUY

Stock has had a mixed year. Don't own because a large bank, cannot have much growth. He has bought developing market banks though because they will participate in the growth of their economy.

DON'T BUY

Has always been considered a very strong, solid bank, but the risk profile started looking a little higher, so he sold his position for Royal Bank of Scotland. You are paying a big premium over other global banks.

BUY

Announced that the sub-prime mortgage issue is only about 1% of their portfolio. An exceptionally well run company. Very conservative. With the valuation that has emerged on the bank, he would be buying it. A wonderful global franchise.

DON'T BUY

One of the 10 largest banks in the world. Whenever a bank gets that large, organic growth becomes increasingly difficult. Valuation is good and has a very handsome dividend yield. Unfortunately, it has exposure to some of the riskier borrowers in the US.

DON'T BUY

A Hong Kong/Shanghai bank. Has had a bad month or two because it has greatly expanded its exposure to the US market, especially the mortgage market and has been getting clobbered. Would prefer Standard Charter (PLC-London) for exposure in the far east.

COMMENT

Gives you global banking exposure. Relative to bank stocks, it is expensive.

COMMENT

A fantastic global reputation. Very handsome yield. His fear is that they have reached such a huge, massive size, growth is going to become increasingly challenging for them.

TRADE

This financial service company is one third Asia, one third North America and one third Europe. He was impressed with the way it was run and used to work for this company. It is a great company but sold the stock to switch to the Royal Bank of Scotland.

BUY

Majority of their revenue stream is generated in Asia and secondly in Europe. When holding a global bank, you have to let the stock perform for you. The fact that they will be in every sector of the world is great because it reduces currency risk. Good core holding.

BUY

Likes the international banking business. Has great representation in the far east which he likes very much. Has great representation in England and some parts of Europe.

TOP PICK

3.5% yield. Hasn't done much over the last year but has continued to grow and become more profitable. Large bank with 30% Europe, 30% US, 30% Asia and 10% Latin America. Has been unfairly penalized because of its US exposure. Trading at only 10 X next year's earnings.
