EQUITY ALERT: Rosen Law Firm Announces Investigation of Securities Claims Against HSBC Holdings plc

Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces it is investigating potential securities claims on behalf of purchasers of HSBC Holdings plc (NYSE:HSBC) resulting from allegations that HSBC may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.

On February 20, 2018, HSBC announced full-year profit that fell below analyst expectations. Debt related to South African retailer Steinhoff International Holdings N.V., which announced significant accounting irregularities in December 2017 and is restructuring, and the U.K. services and construction company Carillion plc, which entered liquidation proceedings in January 2018, helped increase HSBC’s bad loan charges to $1.77 billion for the year, higher than expectations. HSBC advised investors it would delay a share buyback program while raising additional debt in the first half of 2018. On this news, HSBC securities have fallen sharply during intraday trading on February 20, 2018.

Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action lawsuit to recover losses suffered by HSBC investors.
