HSBC Down, On The Beach Falls, Leonardo Gains

Stock Movers

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- HSBC and Standard Chartered are European banks most exposed to the Middle East as the region represents 4% and 12% of the lenders’ profit before taxes respectively, JPMorgan analysts say.
- On the Beach shares drop as much as 14% to the lowest level since November 2024. The online seller of package holidays suspended its full-year guidance of £39m to £43m adjusted profit before tax due to a “significant slowdown” in demand following the conflict in the Middle East, according to a statement.
- Leonardo shares gain as much as 8.7% to a new record high after the defense technology firm outlined its targets through 2030, which Mediobanca described as “bullish.” Analysts highlight, in particular, order intake expectations, and Jefferies says the 2030 numbers imply 300bps margin expansion vs 2025.
