HSBC HOLDINGS PLC vs MITSUBISHI UFJ FINANCIAL GROUP INC, two Banks—Regional stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
HSBC is an Asia-centered network bank that completed its restructuring; Mitsubishi UFJ is a Japanese universal bank waiting for its home rate cycle to finish arriving, and the waiting is expensive: 28 times earnings against 15.5, twelve and a half turns of premium for the macro story over the finished one. Current delivery is not close: HSBC earns 11.3% on equity against 6.6%, a 33.9% net margin against 11.7%, 0.72% on assets against 0.31%. MUFG pays the visible 1.5% dividend. Two of Asia's giant banks, one priced on its income statement, the other on its central bank; the pair measures exactly what a rate-normalization narrative costs per unit of present profit.
