HSBC HOLDINGS (00005.HK)'s 1Q24 PPOP was 7% ahead of the market's original estimate, thanks to NII and fees, Morgan Stanley wrote in a report. HSBC announced a new round of share buybacks of up to US$3 billion, higher than the expected US$2 billion, pointing to the fact that there is upside to company's NII guidance. The broker also raised its 2024 and 2025 EPS forecasts on HSBC by 4-5%.

Morgan Stanley slightly raised its target price of HSBC from $79.2 to $79.9, and maintained an Overweight rating.
