🟡 HOLD — Hold, with a positive bias pending the rise in bond yields translating into better net interest margins.

HSBC Holdings is a global diversified bank headquartered in the UK, focused on commercial and investment banking, wealth management, and retail banking, with a strong presence in Asia-Pacific. HSBC presents solid financial health (4.78) and exceptional quality (9.6), with strong revenue growth (25.4%). The rise in bond yields is a tailwind for its margins, but valuation is not a clear catalyst.
