汇丰2023年第四季度税前利润从一年前的50亿美元下降至10亿美元。其在中国交通银行的股权确认减值准备30亿美元。
HSBC’s pre-tax profits fell 80 per cent year on year in the final three months of 2023 as it took a $3bn charge on the value of its stake in China’s Bank of Communications, the lender said on Wednesday.Profits for the fourth quarter declined to $1bn from $5bn a year earlier, the lender said. Its pre-tax profits for the full year rose 78 per cent to $30bn, as higher interest rates buoyed the lender, but missed analysts’ expectations of $34bn.
汇丰控股(HSBC)周三表示，2023年最后三个月，该行税前利润同比下降80%，其在中国交通银行(Bank of Communications)的股权确认减值准备30亿美元。
HSBC said the BoCom impairment was “in line with recent market-wide developments in mainland China” but that BoCom “remains a strong partner”. The UK-based lender, which holds a 19 per cent stake in the Chinese bank, said its “positive views on the medium- and long-term structural growth opportunities in mainland China are unchanged”.
该行表示，第四季度利润从一年前的50亿美元下降至10亿美元。其全年税前利润增长78%，至300亿美元，因为加息提振了该行业绩，但该数据未能达到分析师预期的340亿美元。
HSBC’s Hong Kong-listed shares fell as much as 3.8 per centonWednesday after the earnings release.
汇丰表示，交通银行的减值调整是“因应中国内地近期市场发展”而作出，但交通银行“依然是……重要的合作伙伴”。这家总部位于英国的银行持有交通银行19%的股权，称其“对中国内地的中长期结构性增长机遇依然乐观”。
