標普:降匯控(0005.HK)發行人信用評級 無法避免疫情影響
評級機構標準普爾發表研究報告指,儘管匯控(0005.HK)的業務在地區及客户層面都相當多元化,但集團仍然無法避免全球各國為遏制新型冠狀病毒肺炎疫情而採取的措施,導致全球經濟下滑的影響。標普下調匯控的發行人信用評級,由原來的“A/A-1”降至“A-/A-2”,前景為“穩定”。
標普表示,低於預期的利率環境將加劇信貸成本增加,從而令集團的收入受壓。鑑於集團疲弱的盈利前景及其重組計劃,機構認為匯控不再是全球信用評級最高的大型銀行。
標普指,集團年初公佈三年重組計劃,但由於疫情影響,利率及經濟環境自2月以來出現變化。不過,機構仍認為,重組是一個清晰的信號,反映集團尚未將其龐大的全球特許經營權完全轉化成股東回報。
標普又下調集團多間子公司的發行人信用評級,包括英國匯豐銀行、法國匯豐銀行、美國匯豐銀行等。
