HSBC Holdings plc (HSBC)

HSBC Holdings plc files a 20-F with the SEC once a year, in US dollars. In the year to 31 December 2025 its profit attributable to shareholders was USD 21,102 million, down 7.9%, and diluted earnings per share USD 1.20.

Earnings per share are per ordinary share, in US dollars. The share that trades in the US can be a depositary share standing for more or fewer ordinary shares, so no price ratio is worked out on this page.

USD million, from each year's annual report on the SEC's EDGAR, the year linked to its filing, on the IFRS tags the company filed. A line the company does not file under the standard tag is left out rather than estimated. A year marked * shows the figure as the company restated it in a later annual report (Dec 2016, Dec 2017, Dec 2018, Dec 2021, Dec 2022); the first-filed figure is in the CSV. For Dec 2023, Dec 2024, Dec 2025 the company files only its profit available to ordinary shareholders, after amounts due to holders of preference shares, and that is the figure shown; the other years are the profit attributable to the parent's shareholders. Profit for the year includes the part that belongs to minority shareholders; profit attributable to shareholders is the part EPS is struck on.
