A year of buying HSBC
Over the last 48 days HSBC closed between $101.15 (September 19, 2026) and $106.99 (September 4, 2026). One hundred dollars put in at the low would be worth $102 today; at the high, $96. The current price $103.09 is above 11 of those 48 daily closes, so a purchase on a random day of that stretch would be in profit 23% of the time — fees aside.
A typical day moves HSBC by 2.1%: a $1,000 position swings about $21 a day.
