Goldman Sachs upgraded HSBC to Buy from Neutral with a price target of 858 GBp, up from 820 GBp, as the analyst took over coverage of the London listing of the stock. Though the firm is making no change to its earnings estimates, it is aligning its price target methodology with the Hong Kong listing of HSBC, the analyst tells investors. The firm sees HSBC having a “compelling” dividend yield of about 8%, which it notes is higher than the peer group average, as well as a liquid balance sheet that has benefited from Fed and BOE rate hikes.
