   Both HSBC Holdings' earnings per share growth of 17 per cent and its underlying profit growth - profits before provisions and taxation - of just under 9 per cent, both came in below expectations, according to Warren Blight, ING Barings' Head of Asian Banking Research.
   
   "We have downgraded our rating to a SELL and we will be revising our forecasts and price target in the near future," Mr Blight said. ING Barings current target price for HSBC is HK$114.00
   
   ING Barings believes that there were some positive factors highlighted in the results, such as HSBCs' minimal exposure (2.2 per cent of loans) to telecommunications companies, and only a negligible loss of customers or deposits at the recently acquired Republic New York and Safra Republic Holdings businesses.
   
   But negative factors outweigh any positives, ING Barings said. Both operating expenses, which were up 24.1 per cent, and provision charges, which dropped 55 per cent, were still in excess of ING Barings estimates.
   ...
   "Although HSB's margin was hurt by an aggressive push to expand the loan book, we believe the bank is essentially on track," Mr Blight said.
   
   "Any sell-down could provide an attractive entry level," he added. ING Barings current target price for HSB is HK$94.00, although this is subject to review.
   
   ING Barings expects margins to further decline, but credits HSB for being able to post record returns, with its underlying profits holding up, despite margin pressure.
   
   HSB management is regarded as being capable of delivering good underlying profitability and shareholder returns, and is now benefiting from its wealth management initiatives.
