HSBC resumes share buybacks with up to $1 billion plan after H1 pretax profit rises 23% to $19.5 billion

AI Market Summary
HSBC reported H1 pretax profit of $19.5bn (+23% y/y), beating expectations, raised FY net interest income guidance to above $46bn, and reinstated up to $1bn in share buybacks while maintaining dividends. Strength was driven by Asia-focused wealth and cross-border banking amid a still-supportive rate backdrop. The smaller-than-expected buyback may temper immediate enthusiasm but signals continued capital return capacity.
