HSBC Holdings Acquires Over 5.3 Million Shares from Morgan Stanley Amid Ongoing Growth.

HSBC Holdings plc has acquired over 5.3 million shares from Morgan Stanley. The bank's revenues are primarily generated from retail banking and wealth management (42.3%), commercial banking (31.8%), and investment, financing, and market banking (25.9%). As of 2024, HSBC had USD 1,654.9 billion in current deposits and USD 930.6 billion in current credits.

HSBC Holdings plc has announced a significant transaction in its own shares, purchasing 5.3 million shares from Morgan Stanley as part of its ongoing buy-back program. The transaction, executed on July 14, 2025, involves shares valued at US$0.50 each, with a volume-weighted average price of £9.1883 on the UK Venues and HK$96.6976 on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Since the commencement of its buy-back program on May 6, 2025, HSBC has repurchased a total of 215,205,253 ordinary shares for a consideration of approximately US$2,522.1 million. The cancellation of these shares will reduce the company's issued ordinary share capital to 17,448,226,484 shares with voting rights, with no ordinary shares held in treasury.

HSBC's revenue is primarily generated from three segments: wealth and personal banking (42.3%), commercial banking (31.8%), and investment, financing, and market banking (25.9%). As of 2024, the bank held USD 1,654.9 billion in current deposits and USD 930.6 billion in current credits.

This strategic buy-back is part of HSBC's broader restructuring efforts, aimed at streamlining operations and focusing on high-growth segments such as Asia and the Middle East. The bank has been reducing its presence in low-return Western markets and reallocating resources to enhance its competitive position in these regions.
