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

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 9/10. Up 6%.) Looking at selling their credit card business and getting back to their knitting. 3.8% dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 9/10. Up 12.4%.) UK bank with a great Asian exposure as well as a big Latin America operation. Doing a major restructuring. 3.5% yield.

TOP PICK

World’s largest bank and is in 140 countries. Great yield of about 4%. Good security. Growth in all the right areas. Moved their headquarters to Hong Kong where the growth in capital is enormous. Well positioned to capitalize on world’s growth expansion.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Oct 9/09, Down 5.2%) Wants to buy more of HSBC.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Great global franchise in banking. Very good company and well run.

TOP PICK

The international bank that has done everything right. First bank to recognize their subprime problems and wrote them off. Cut dividends but only by 30%. Raised $20 billion US without government help because it has emerging market exposure. Cautious and conservative. 3.4% yield.

DON'T BUY

Purist global bank you will find. Closing some US branches, focused in Europe, strong presence in the Middle East and a very strong presence in Asia. Almost too diversified. Still not 100% sold on increasing weightings in banks.

TOP PICK

The #1 or #2 bank in China. Just moved their executive CEO from London to China. He is looking for a great explosion of growth in Asia. 2.8% yield.

HOLD

Bonds October 2011. Has been in the press lately regarding some of their assets and loans. Think they will make it through. The bonds are very solid investment grade.

HOLD

If you want something with Asian components but much better credit quality in the banking system, he would choose Standard Chartered Bank (STAN-LSE) on the London exchange. (Also listed in New York but he prefers British £, which is down 50% against US$ and 25% against the Cdn$.)

COMMENT

Financials in the US do not look great right now. Downward trend is very well defined. Still a lot of selling that could go on. A lot of volume at this level so technically he could see a possible bounce to $33.

BUY

HSBC (HBC-N) vs. Royal Bank (RY-T). Fantastic banks. Will be a survivor. Would lean more towards the Canadian banks because he knows them better.

COMMENT

Last 3 or 4 trading days have shown the stock starting to bottom. This is not unusual and has happened with a lot of the international banks. Short-term momentum indicators are not there yet. Feels that banks in general will start to move higher.

COMMENT

Well run bank and well diversified. Having some problems right now like many of the banks.

WEAK BUY

Two global banks that have a really good global foot print, are City and HBC, he would choose HBC over City. On a long term view, it's a pretty good bank to own.
