Over the past year the stock is up 66.0%, with a 15.3% gain year to date and a 182.5% return over three years. Recent shorter term performance has also been positive, with the shares up 3.6% over the past week and 4.0% over the past month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">For investors, the mix of new long term debt issuance and planned note redemption provides a window into how HSBC Holdings is shaping its balance sheet and cost of funding.
