JPMorgan released a research report forecasting that HSBC HOLDINGS (00005.HK) will record YoY growth of 5% in revenue and 4% in adjusted profit before tax for 1Q26, while STANCHART (02888.HK) will post slower growth of 3% and 0%, respectively.

Given the uncertain interest rate trend, both banks are unlikely to revise their net interest income guidance at this stage, the broker noted.
