HSBC Holdings

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: HSBC Holdings plc is a global provider of banking and financial services, with a market cap of approximately £129.48 billion.

Operations: HSBC Holdings plc generates its revenue from several key segments, including Commercial Banking ($19.78 billion), Global Banking and Markets ($16.80 billion), Wealth and Personal Banking ($24.83 billion), and Corporate Centre ($2.82 billion).

Dividend Yield: 6.6%

HSBC Holdings' dividend history shows volatility over the past nine years, with dividends being covered by earnings at a 50.4% payout ratio. The bank's high level of bad loans (2.2%) and unreliable dividend track record present concerns for stability. Despite this, its current yield is among the top 25% in the UK market. Recent fixed-income offerings and debt purchases indicate active financial management, which might support future dividend sustainability amidst forecasted earnings decline.
