HSBC shares slump on revenue miss, lender announces share buyback of up to $1 billion

What the coverage shows

Both outlets lead on HSBC’s up-to-$1 billion share buyback and note that third-quarter profit met expectations. The South China Morning Post adds the profit figures, calling out a 32% rise in pre-tax profit and saying it was in line with estimates, while CNBC’s extract is much thinner and only says HSBC announced its third-quarter earnings.
