Hong Kong-listed banks will start releasing their FY2025 results from mid-February, a JP Morgan research report reminded. The broker anticipated a divergent earnings momentum among banks because of NIM migration and credit cost volatilities, while expecting no significant changes in dividend policies.

DAHSING BANKING and STANCHART were estimated to post stronger total shareholder returns in FY2025.
