FIRST INTERIM DIVIDEND FOR 2016

HSBC axes 840 IT jobs in Britain in first big wave of planned cuts

How sustainable do we think the 8.1% dividend is? I have to choose what to buy if the market stays down here and thinking there must be some significant risk around it at 8%+

HSBC's Q3 profit

StockMarketWire.com

HSBC Holdings posts third quarter pre-tax profits of $843m - 86% down from $6,097m a year ago.

On an adjusted basis, pre-tax profits rose by 7% to $5,591m.

HSBC uses adjusted performance to understand the underlying trends in the business. The main differences between reported and adjusted are foreign currency translation and significant items, including the operating results for our Brazil business as well as the loss recognised on disposal.

Return on average ordinary shareholders' equity (annualised) was -1.4% in the three months to the end of September against 10.9% a year ago.

Group chief executive Stuart Gulliver said: "Our third-quarter performance reflected the strength of our network and the deepening impact of our strategic actions. Reported profits were down, but adjusted profits were higher than last year's third quarter in all four global businesses and four out of five regions.

"Reported profits included the impact of the disposal of our operations in Brazil, changes in the fair value of our own debt, and the costs of implementing our cost-reduction programmes.

"Our global universal banking model generated higher adjusted revenue than for the same period last year, and our cost-reduction programmes continued to reduce our operating expenses. This produced adjusted positive jaws of 5.6% for the third quarter and 1.5% for the first nine months of the year. Global Banking and Markets had strong adjusted revenue growth in the quarter, with market share gains in Debt Capital Markets globally, and Rates and Credit in Europe.

"We also achieved one of our best ever rankings for global cross-border mergers and acquisitions. Principal Retail Banking and Wealth Management performed relatively well due to the impact of stock market movements on our insurance business in Asia, compared with a weak third quarter of 2015. Commercial Banking revenue remained stable, as higher balances in Global Liquidity and Cash Management helped mitigate the impact of lower revenue from trade finance.

"Following a change in the regulatory treatment of our investment in BoCom, our common equity tier 1 capital ratio increased to 13.9%. This is another action forming part of our ongoing capital management of the Group that reinforces our ability to support the dividend, to invest in the business and, over the medium term, to contemplate share buy-backs, as appropriate. It also provides us with a significant capacity to manage the continuing uncertain regulatory environment.

"We had completed 59% of our $2.5bn equity buy-back at 31 October. We expect to finish the programme by the end of 2016 or early in the first quarter of 2017, depending on market trading volumes in the fourth quarter."

"V" bottom almost reversed - where now!

Goldman Sachs Neutral 642.45 675.00 675.00 Reiterates

750 I hope..

Ditto driver. :)

I am out of this now. It's been a very nice ride but I'm becoming nervous that it's too fast and the price is excessively supported by the weak pound.

I'll be happy to buy back in around 600 if I get the opportunity

680 will be tempting.
