Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSIHSBC Holdings P L CHSBCDON'T BUYMar 16, 2016

The banks would have liked to see a rate rise. It is one of the poorer looking bank stocks. There is nothing in the chart to say go buy it. It’s not terrible to invest here and collect the dividend, but he sees no catalyst or driver for the stock.

(A Top Pick Jan 13/20, Down 29%) UK regulators came out and said banks cannot pay dividends. There were lawsuits in Hong Kong over this. Sold it and got out. The exposure is great but you cannot plan for regulators to do this.

It is a great bank if you want to be in Asia. The problem like many British and European banks is that they could not decide if they wanted to be in certain markets. They bought and built up certain businesses and did not do very well at those. They are a good retail bank and a very good commercial bank. They help companies grow in Asia and the US. Hong Kong will not be an opportunity for them now. It's not an expensive stock but they need to decide what they want to be.

Political overlay of Brexit, as well as headquarters in Hong Kong. Fundamental issue of declining interest rates. Very strong balance sheet, good franchise. At some point, interest rates will turn around.

It had the BREXIT overhang as well as the Hong Kong overhang. It has had a remarkable recovery. He thinks there is upside here. You can buy it here and just leave it for a while and it will continue to grow. It has raised its dividend for the last 15 years. They could always move their head quarters to Singapore. The political overhang is somewhat of a nonsense story because the income is coming from surrounding countries. It is providing an entry point. (Analysts’ price target is $45.82)

5 year hold? There are two overhangs right now: Brexit; and Hong Kong (where it is headquartered). He believes both issues will be resolved, but there is still time required. Interest rate declines globally are creating headwinds. He thinks the dividend is relatively safe. It may be a buy here, but it really needs interest rates to rise to grow earnings.

It is a Hong Kong focused Asian bank -- two hot spots right now. Democracy will hopefully prevail in Hong Kong, but it is tough for the bank right now.

HSBC-N vs. ING-N. He prefers ING-N. HSBC-N is not an expensive stock. They are well capitalized. They have a great Asian exposure. It is not expensive but a lot more expensive than a lot of its peers. The whole sector is on sale.

(A Top Pick Sep 11/18, Down 8%) This was a political overlay that got caught up with the Brexit issues. The balance sheet is better than Canadian banks. He thinks they could increase dividends and begin to buyback shares. At these levels, this is an attractive story. A corporate bank that does well internationally. He would continue to hold.

He owned the stock 8 or 9 years ago. He anticipated at the time that when China opened up the financial area they would be a beneficiary but China did not open up the area the way he hoped. He thinks there is no urgency to jump on this unless China opens up on this. It trades at 10 times earnings.

HSBC vs. ING. HSBC is a global bank, strong in Asia and the UK. ING is already restructured, more of a retail bank. Neither is expensive. But you can buy US banks at cheap multiples today. US banks are in better shape, more capital, fewer issues to worry about like negative interest rates. (Analysts’ price target is $45.90)

ING vs. HSBC Neither. He won't touch any European bank given negative interest rates. Period. HSBC does a lot of international lending and international flows aren't well-received by regulators; and they lend to the Far East. HSBC isn't a leader in many categories. ING, at least, leads in online banking in Europe, but they have loaned heavily to energy.
