What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of HSBC's valuation, growth and risks.
HSBC trades at 12.29 times earnings, against a Financial Services median of 16.5. That makes it a discount to peers, with the P/E 25.5% below the median. Measured against sales, the stock is pricier: its P/S of 3.99 is 4.9% above the sector median of 3.8. Its market capitalisation stands at $294.2B.
Sales turn into profit at a net margin of 35.2% and an operating margin of 58.77%. Return on equity stands at 13.10%, which is below the sector median of 13.8%. Rounding out the picture are the balance sheet and the payout, where the trailing dividend yield is 4.36%, or $3.75 a share each year.
HSBC reported EPS of $2.25 against a $2.33 estimate in the August 4, 2026 report, missing the estimate by 3.43%. In the first session after the report, the share price dropped 3.17%.
The stock rose 4.58% after the May 5, 2026 report, a beat of 1.85%. Looking ahead, analysts expect EPS of $8.53 this fiscal year (growth of 13.0%) and $9.51 the year after (growth of 11.5%).

CleaRank Financial AI analysis of HSBC
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
HSBC's trend is down: the price of $86.02 sits 7.85% below its 200-day average of $93.35, and 13.50% below its 50-day average of $99.44. The stock is at 46% of its 52-week range of $67.56 to $107.92, so it is 20.29% below the high.
HSBC's 14-day RSI of 24.4 places it in oversold territory, and the MACD line is negative. The recent slide is set against a longer record that is more encouraging: over the past month the price dropped 14.79%, over the past three months it dropped 17.05%, and over the past year it climbed 28.01%.

- Keep an eye on the two nearest levels. The 200-day SMA at $93.35 sits above the price, while the 52-week low at $67.56 sits below it.
- HSBC's 14-day RSI is 24.4, which is in the oversold zone, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 point to stretched momentum.
- The share price dropped 3.17% in the first session after the August 4, 2026 report.
HSBC is trading below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($99.44 and $93.35), and that places the trend firmly down. A move back above the 200-day would be the first sign of a recovery. The closest level above the price is the 200-day SMA at $93.35.
The 52-week low at $67.56 is the next level below. Momentum is washed out, with the RSI below the oversold line; a turn back above it would be an early sign of stabilising.

Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in HSBC, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in HSBC today could grow to about $13,326 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $25,824 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $6,877. The simulation models price only; at today's 4.36% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
HSBC Stock Price Prediction 2030: Simulated Scenarios
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $115 for HSBC by 2030 in the base case, from $86.02 today (1.3x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $59.15. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on HSBC's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $66.39 | $92.42 | $129 | |
| 2028 | $62.20 | $99.30 | $159 | |
| 2029 | $60.16 | $107 | $189 | |
| 2030 | $59.15 | $115 | $222 |
