HSBC Holdings PLC's (LSE:HSBA) latest move in Hong Kong has left Jefferies feeling more cautious. The bank's plan to buy out minority shareholders in Hang Seng Bank, at a cost of $13.7bn, may make strategic sense, but it comes with an awkward side effect: three quarters without share buybacks.

HSBC plans to delist Hang Seng Bank in a $37B deal as part of a strategic shift to boost growth and market leadership in Asia.

HSBC Holdings PLC's (LSE:HSBA) proposal to buy the remaining 36.7% minority shareholders in Hang Seng Bank was a bit of a surprise, analysts said, with the price looking a little "punchy". The second-largest company in the FTSE 100 saw its shares fall over 6% as it said the $13.6 billion cost to own the whole of the Hong Kong lender would be paid for by pausing three quarters of share buybacks to restore its CET1 capital level back to where it was.

HSBC will look at making more acquisitions in key areas, the bank's chief executive told Reuters on Thursday after the lender announced plans to buy out the remainder of Hang Seng bank.

HSBC Holdings on Thursday said it was offering a 30% premium to buy just over the one-third of Hang Seng Bank it didn't already own.

Hang Seng Bank shares surged nearly 30% on Thursday after parent company HSBC Holdings Plc announced plans to take the lender private in a deal valuing it at more than HK$290 billion (over $37 billion).

HSBC shares fell 6% in London from near record levels after the British bank announced plans to buy out minorities in its majority-held Hang Seng Bank subsidiary in a deal worth around $13.6 billion.
