LONDON, Jan 26, 2026, 07:57 — Premarket. HSBC Holdings’ shares are likely to grab early attention in London Monday after insiders indicated the bank plans to boost its key profitability target in next month’s annual results. The bank is tipped to raise its return-on-tangible-equity forecast beyond the current “mid teens or better” range. Some analysts suggest the upgrade could be around two percentage points. HSBC declined to comment. Peter Rothwell, KPMG UK’s head of banking, noted lenders are seeing “earnings resilience lasting longer than initially expected,” supported by higher rates, credit quality, and cost control.
