 "faq": [
  {
   "question": "Is HSBC Holdings (HSBC) a buy right now?",
   "answer": "At 49/100, HSBC lands in CleaRank's Hold band. The trend holds the score back, because the price is 7.85% below its 200-day average and 13.50% below its 50-day average. This describes the data on this page and is not a personal recommendation."
  },
  {
   "question": "How has HSBC Holdings (HSBC) performed over the past year?",
   "answer": "The price rose 28.01% across the past year. In shorter windows it has declined: down 17.05% over three months and down 14.79% over the last month. Today it sits 20.29% under its 52-week high of $107.92."
  },
  {
   "question": "What are the key price levels for HSBC?",

  },
  {
   "question": "Is HSBC expensive compared with Financial Services stocks?",
   "answer": "HSBC's trailing P/E of 12.29 is 25.5% below the Financial Services median of 16.5, and the peer comparison on this page labels that a discount to peers."
  },
  {
   "question": "Does HSBC pay a dividend?",
   "answer": "Yes. HSBC has a trailing dividend yield of 4.36%, or $3.75 a share a year. A yield is the dividend divided by the price, so it changes when either one does."
  },
  {
   "question": "What do Wall Street analysts think of HSBC?",
   "answer": "Of the 3 analysts covering HSBC, 1 rate it buy, 1 hold and 1 sell. Their median 12-month target is $102.00, 18.6% above the current price."
  },
  {
   "question": "How often has HSBC beaten earnings estimates?",
   "answer": "HSBC beat the EPS estimate in 1 of its last 2 reports, and the share price did not fall in the first session after that beat."
  },
  {
   "question": "How volatile is HSBC?",
   "answer": "On an average day HSBC's price moves 1.70%, based on the 30-day standard deviation of daily returns. Measured against the S&P 500, its beta is 0.58."
  },
  {
   "question": "What is the 52-week range of HSBC?",
   "answer": "Over the past 52 weeks, HSBC has moved between $67.56 and $107.92. At $86.02, the stock is at 46% of that span, 27.32% above the low and 20.29% below the high."
  },
  {
   "question": "Is HSBC in an uptrend?",
   "answer": "No. HSBC Holdings (HSBC) trades at $86.02, below both its 50- and 200-day moving averages ($99.44 and $93.35). Its 14-day RSI on daily closes is 24.4, in oversold territory."
