The earnings report shows that the decrease in revenue was mainly due to the impact of business divestments, especially in Canada and Argentina. The revenue of the wealth management business under the International Wealth Management and Premier and Hong Kong business segments increased supported by the rise in customer activities. The foreign exchange business and the debt and equity market businesses also recorded revenue growth. On a constant exchange rate basis, excluding notable items, the revenue increased by 7% to $17.7 billion.

The report disclosed that HSBC Holdings plans to launch a share repurchase program of up to $3 billion. It is expected to commence shortly after the conclusion of the annual general meeting of shareholders on May 2, 2025, and be completed before the release of the interim results for 2025.
