HSBC Holdings has proposed to make Hang Seng Bank go private.

The privatization would be for HK$155 per share in cash, a premium of more than 30% versus the last closing price, HSBC said in a statement on Thursday. The shares would be canceled under the proposal.

“HSBC intends to continue to respect the legacy of Hang Seng Bank and to serve Hong Kong through both the HSBC and Hang Seng Bank brands,” the UK bank said.

SK Hynix Shares Break 1.1 Million Won to Hit New High: How Much Longer Can AI Memory Leader Rise?

TradingKey - On April 14, 2026, SK Hynix shares extended their rally, breaking the 1.1 million won mark intraday and hitting an all-time high of 1.13 million won. The company’s total market capitalization subsequently climbed to approximately 110 trillion won (about $80 billion), firmly securing its position as the second-largest company by market value in the South Korean stock market, trailing only Samsung Electronics. Looking back over the past few years, SK Hynix's stock price has been characterized by significant volatility.

Driven by the explosive growth in demand for AI computing power, the company achieved a dual recovery in earnings and valuation through its forward-looking strategic positioning in the HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) sector. Entering 2026, the rally further accelerated, with a year-to-date (YTD) gain exceeding 35%, while the benchmark KOSPI index rose by less than 3% during the same period.
