0523 GMT - HSBC's non-interest income growth momentum is likely to remain strong in 2026 and 2027, says Manyi Lu of DBS Group Research. The lender's wealth segment appears robust, supported by solid net new invested assets, Lu said. A strong Hong Kong capital-markets environment should also bolster noninterest income, she adds. Any downside risks to net-interest income are likely to be offset by tailwinds such as structural hedging and lower funding costs, the analyst adds. DBS raises its earnings expectations by 2% for 2026 and 7% for 2027, reflecting HSBC's updated net-interest-income guidance. DBS lifts its target price to HK$139.20 from HK$113.70 and reiterates its buy rating. HSBC shares are 1.5% lower at HK$126.90. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
