HONG KONG/LONDON, Oct 29 (Reuters) - HSBC Holdings
reported a 10% rise in third-quarter profit on Tuesday, beating analyst estimates, as it benefited from slower-than-expected rate cuts while it is embarking on one of the largest overhauls in its history.
Europe's largest bank posted pretax profit of $8.5 billion for the July-to-September period versus $7.7 billion a year earlier.
The result compared with a $7.6 billion mean average of broker estimates compiled by HSBC.
The London-headquartered, Asia-focused bank also announced an additional share buyback of up to $3 billion, on top of a $6 billion buyback programme announced earlier this year.
