The London-listed shares of HSBC slipped more than 1% in premarket trading on Tuesday and lost another 1% on market open. The stock, however, regained almost half of the intraday loss later on.

Including the price action, HSBC is now trading at £4.27 per share after recovering from a low of £2.83 per share in the last week of September. In comparison, the stock had started at a per-share price of £3.80.

HSBC set aside £6.26 billion for loan loss provisions in 2020

HSBC said that its earnings slid 35% in 2020 to £2.77 billion as the COVID-19 crisis wreaked havoc on the global economy. The British multinational set aside £6.26 billion last year in provisions for credit losses versus the year-ago figure of under £2.13 billion.

Earlier in the last week of October, the financial services holding company said that its net profit slid 54% in the fiscal third quarter. According to HSBC, it intends to slash its office footprint in the long-term by 40%.

The investment bank said that its return on tangible equity in 2020 stood at 3.1% – a decline from 8.4% in the previous year. In its earlier guidance, HSBC had set a target of up to 12% return by 2022. On Tuesday, the company dropped this target and set a new one for roughly 10% return on tangible equity in the medium term.

HSBC to pay 10.65 pence per share of dividend

As per the London-based bank, it will pay 10.65 pence per share of dividend. HSBC had suspended dividend payments last year in compliance with the guidelines laid out by the British regulator. The bank also said on Tuesday that it intends to offload its U.S. retail business.

Negotiations over a sale, it added, were also ongoing in France. If concluded, the sale is expected to result in a loss, HSBC said.

HSBC performed largely downbeat in the stock market last year with an annual decline of roughly 35%. At the time of writing, the British multinational investment bank and financial services holding company is valued at £87 billion.
