HSBC Holdings Plc Stock: Hang Seng Bank Buyout Vote Nears, Dividend Signals, and Analyst Forecasts (Dec. 15, 2025)

HSBC Holdings Plc (HSBA.L / 0005.HK / HSBC) heads into mid-December with a very “HSBC” mix of catalysts: a large, Asia-centric acquisition moving closer to a shareholder vote, upgraded profitability guidance from management, and fresh consensus estimates that map what the sell side thinks the bank can deliver through 2027.
