HSBC Holdings PLC's third-quarter net profit more than doubled
as the London-based banking giant continued to benefit from higher
interest rates and sharply higher non-interest income.
The Asia-focused lender posted net profit of $5.62 billion for
the three months to Sept. 30, up from $2.00 billion in the
year-earlier period, it said Monday. HSBC's pretax profit, the
bank's preferred profit measure, rose to $7.71 billion from $3.23
billion.
The bank's quarterly revenue rose 40% compared with the same
period a year earlier to $16.2 billion. It attributed the growth to
the higher interest rate environment, which supported growth in net
interest income in all of their global businesses and higher
non-interest income.
Its non-interest income rose 97% on year to $6.9 billion,
primarily due to the sale of its retail banking operations in
France.
The bank's net interest income, its main source of income,
reached $9.25 billion, from $8.01 billion in the same period last
year. Its net interest margin increased by 19 basis points to 1.70%
from the year-earlier period.
"We have had three consecutive quarters of strong financial
performance and are on track to achieve our mid-teens return on
tangible equity target for 2023," HSBC Chief Executive Noel Quinn
said.
HSBC reiterated its guidance for 2023 net interest income to be
above $35 billion, it said.
The board has approved a third interim dividend of $0.10 per
share. It also intends to initiate a further share buyback of up to
$3 billion after announcing three share buybacks in 2023 totaling
up to $7 billion.
