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.

Valuation

Fair Value

JPM, JPM

BUY

Likes it. Cost management and focus on it is good. Taking a hard look at all their assets around the world. Normalization of ROE will continue. It is an emerging market banks so we have to see a break out in emerging markets, but he sees a breakout over the next 5 years. Pretty good dividend yield.

BUY

Got out of assets that are not profitable and they are quite diversified. Most of their revenues are from Europe. Dividends look good and will increase. A global name focusing on the fastest growing parts of the world.

TOP PICK

The long story here is that an interest-rate recovery will obviously cause all banks to move higher. Moving into the trade finance (import/export finance) in Asia a little more aggressively, which is a big growth engine. The gradual recovery in Europe will move the stock higher. 4.2% dividend yield. Strong balance sheet.

COMMENT

Great company and well run. Pulled back because of some really bad assets they bought over the last several years. Have really consolidated themselves. Not expensive and has a good dividend yield. Doesn’t expect there will be a huge upside in the price of the stock but will chug along like a lot of other banks.

TOP PICK

Looking for good yield with growth. 5% yield. 55% of revenue is from developing markets. Canadian banks are trading at all time highs.

DON'T BUY

UK banking system has to be recapitalized. This one is obviously best-of-breed in Europe but he is still quite concerned around the issues of capital losses they are going to get exposed to as the recession continues to bite.

BUY

One of his bigger financial positions. Likes it because it is a world-wide bank (~35 countries) focused on Asia, where the growth is. Canadian banks are great, but the growth profile is just one other country in each case. HSBC has positioned themselves in the sweet spot where global growth will happen.

SELL

European banking sector is a sell. US is a better story. Banks will have big losses and will have to build more capital.

TOP PICK

Largest financial institution in the world. Half profit is coming out of greater China area right now. Strategically they are really well positioned to take advantage of growth that will happen in Asia. They have been positioned in Asia for a long time. Have not been hurt in Europe. You shrug your shoulders to the money laundering. Look at the size of the company.

TOP PICK

DON'T BUY

European exposure companies leave him leery. If he looks at companies such as banks, he looks for US banks because they are being re-capitalized and US is on the road to recovery.

BUY

It’s been a great company through a difficult time with a great balance sheet. But buying House Hold Finance really hurt them. They are getting out of these businesses and it is the right thing to do. Now it has good potential growth.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Feb 7/11, Down 19.30%) is a bank that was not part of the debacle. Head office has moved from London to far east to show they are all about Asia.

BUY

One of the largest banks globally. Have done a great job. In restructuring, they made a bad US acquisition but are getting out of those businesses and concentrating on being a UK bank with a strong presence in emerging markets. Almost 5% yield.

BUY

Very large UK-based bank with most of their assets in Asia. Like many banks these days, it is trading at book at about 8X earnings. A cheap bank. Doing a lot of things to restructure. Going for things where they have a real advantage, which is in the emerging markets. 4.3% dividend.
