Barclays analyst Aman Rakkar has maintained a Buy rating on HSBC Holdings (HSBA) with a price target of £12.00, while shares closed at p873.90. The overall analyst consensus suggests a Moderate Buy with an average price target of p1,014.33, indicating a 16.07% upside. However, recent insider activity shows a negative sentiment, with an increase in insiders selling shares.
UK banks, including Barclays, Lloyds, and NatWest, are set to gain over £50bn from structural hedging, a strategy that manages interest rate risk through interest rate swaps. This approach, particularly the "caterpillar" hedge, allows banks to stabilize revenues and predict profitability amid fluctuating rates. Analysts highlight the varying strategies among banks, with Lloyds employing a dynamic method, while Barclays and NatWest favor a more mechanical approach, positioning them well for future interest rate changes.
Barclays analysts predict that Lloyds Banking Group could return nearly half of its market value to shareholders by 2027, driven by strong capital generation and increasing dividends. The price target has been raised to 90 pence, suggesting over 30% upside, while Deutsche Bank's Robert Noble anticipates a significant rise in capital returns per share by 2027. Both analysts highlight Lloyds' unique combination of revenue growth and shareholder returns as a compelling investment opportunity.
