In February, China's power battery installations reached 34.9 GWh, marking a 94.1% year-on-year increase but a 10.1% decline from January. CATL led with a 44.45% market share, while BYD's share grew to 23.62% due to a 163.95% rise in NEV sales. LFP batteries dominated the market, accounting for 81.5% of total installations.
HSBC Holdings is viewed as a more favorable investment compared to Standard Chartered amid ongoing tariff uncertainties. The bank has also restructured its business sections by eliminating 'Eastern' and 'Western' market labels. Additionally, HSBC has repurchased approximately 6.13 million shares this year for HKD 565 million, while the oversupply in the Hong Kong property market continues to impact banks, particularly smaller institutions.
The country's foreign trade began the year weakly, impacted by US tariffs on Chinese goods, despite a temporary suspension of tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Global markets showed significant declines, particularly in technology stocks, amid rising bond yields and concerns over economic growth. The euro strengthened against the dollar, while oil prices stabilized, though concerns about trade disputes continue to weigh on demand forecasts.
UBS has raised its price target for HSBC shares from GBP 8.20 to GBP 9.60 while maintaining a neutral rating, following a strong fourth quarter performance that exceeded expectations. Despite a 73% return over the past year and positive revenue results, analysts express mixed views on the stock's future, with Barclays upgrading its rating to Overweight and raising its target to GBP 12.00, while Deutsche Bank downgraded it to Hold with a target of GBP 9.10.
UBS has raised its price target for HSBC Holdings to GBP9.60 from GBP8.20 while maintaining a neutral rating, following a strong fourth-quarter performance that exceeded expectations. Despite a 73% return over the past year and a solid financial health score, analysts express mixed views, with Barclays upgrading to Overweight and Deutsche Bank downgrading to Hold. HSBC's net interest income surpassed forecasts, but loan losses were higher than anticipated, prompting varied outlooks on the bank's future performance.
HSBC has rebranded its "eastern markets" and "western markets" divisions to "Asia and the Middle East" and "Europe and Americas," respectively, just months after their creation. This change follows concerns about the implications of the original labels amid geopolitical tensions and speculation about a potential split of the bank, which HSBC's CEO has denied. The restructuring aims to streamline operations and enhance customer service while targeting significant cost savings by 2025.
