Higher interest rates help to more than double HSBC profits
By Peter HoskinsBusiness reporter
UK-based banking giant HSBC says its quarterly profits jumped to $7. 7bn (£6. 35bn), boosted by higher interest rates.
That is as The Firm 's pre-tax profit for the period to The End of September More Than doubled from a year earlier.
" We have had three consecutive quarters of strong financial performance" group chief executive Noel Quinn said in a statement.
However, that was still lower than the $8. 1bn profit expected by analysts.
The Bank also announced a plan to buy back another $3bn of its shares from investors, as well as a new dividend payout to shareholders.
That brings HSBC's total share buybacks for this year to $7bn and the total dividend payout to 30 cents per share.
" We Are pleased to again reward our shareholders, " Mr Quinn said.
HSBC also said it had taken a $500m hit related to China's crisis-hit property market.
" We continue to monitor risks related to our exposures in Mainland China 's commercial Real Estate sector closely, and there remains a degree of uncertainty in the forward economic outlook, particularly in the UK, " The Company said in the results statement.
HSBC, which has its headquarters in London, generates most of its income in Asia.
Last week, HSBC's Asia-focused rival Standard Chartered reported an unexpected plunge in its third-quarter profit due to a nearly $1bn billion combined hit from its exposure to China's Real Estate and banking sectors.
