HSBC Reports Third-Quarter 2026 Financial Results

HSBC reported third-quarter 2026 pre-tax profit of $9.6 billion, up nearly one-third from the previous period; adjusted for one-off and currency effects, profit rose about 10% to $10 billion, supported by higher interest rates. The bank confirmed its annual targets and announced an additional share buyback program. Results fell short of some analyst expectations, and HSBC’s Hong Kong-listed shares declined.
