HSBC Holdings plc reported a profit before tax of $9.4 billion for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $0.1 billion compared with the same period in 2025. This decrease was primarily due to higher expected credit losses and other credit impairment charges, an adverse impact from notable items, and a rise in operating expenses, partly offset by revenue growth from strong Wealth fee and other income and higher banking net interest income. The Board approved a first interim dividend for 2026 of $0.10 per share.
