Sunday, June 9, 6:05 AM The U.K.'s Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards will reportedly debate a 600-page report that it has put together tomorrow and on Tuesday, with probable topics of discussion including splitting RBS (RBS) up into "good" and "bad" banks, a lack of competition, excessive pay and inadequate regulation. One of the problems, says an official, is that the banks are too big and complex for effective governance. 4 Comments [Financials]
Thursday, June 6, 9:40 PM U.S. and U.K. authorities are reportedly preparing this summer to file criminal charges against former employees of Barclays (BCS) as the Libor investigation moves from institutions to individuals. Though it's not yet clear who will be charged, the current probe, say sources, is focused on midlevel traders, not top executives. Comment! [Financials]
Thursday, June 6, 8:39 AM Barclays (BCS) falls 0.5% premarket after Sumitomo Mitsui Banking unloads about half of its $800M stake in the U.K. lender. Sumitomo acquired the shares in June 2008, part of a number of capital raises by Barclays during that time. Comment! [Financials]
Tuesday, May 28, 8:01 AM The U.K.'s biggest four banks (RBS, HBC, LYG, BCS) will have eliminated about 189K jobs by the end of 2013 from peak staffing levels, according to Bloomberg. At about 606K people worldwide, staffing levels will be the least since 2004. "The big bulky mass layoffs ... are probably gone," says an analyst, but expect employment numbers to drift lower as the lenders continue to struggle to find growth. Meanwhile, U.S. banks are happily picking off top talent from RBS. Comment! [Financials]
Tuesday, May 28, 4:02 AM Bloomberg gets out its calculator and works out that Britain's top four banks will have cut their combined headcount by 189,000 by the end of this year from peak staffing levels of 795,000 in 2008. RBS (RBS) will have cut 78,000 jobs and Lloyds 31,000 through lay-offs and asset sales, while HSBC (HBC) and Barclays (BCS) have also been making sizable reductions. The moves come as U.K. banks streamline their operations and boost their capital ratios under much regulatory pressure. 2 Comments [Top Stories, Financials]
Friday, May 17, 5:56 AM UBS upgrades global financials to Overweight from Underweight on a healing global economy, rebuilt capital, and the sector's shift "from being a net issuer to a net distributor of cash." Furthermore, the U.S. banking sector (XLF) is taken to Overweight as balance sheet strength and attractive valuations play well with the housing market recovery to create compelling opportunities. European banks (EUFN) are lifted to Neutral "with a preference towards Nordic and U.K. banks." Financials respond in London with LLoyds Banking Group (LYG) +2.3%, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) +3.3%, and Barclays (BCS) up 0.5%. 6 Comments [Financials, Global & FX]
Tuesday, May 7, 11:48 AM Citigroup (C) sues Barclays (BCS) to recover nearly $142M related to foreign exchange trading amidst the Lehman bankruptcy. Citi claims Barclays promised to indemnify Citi against any losses from settling trades for Lehman between Sept. 17-19, 2008. Citi says it lost $580M during this period, but has reduced the amount (plus legal fees) to $141.8M. Comment! [Financials]
Wednesday, April 24, 3:58 PM Richard Pzena (PZN) - still heavily overweight financials (XLF) and mature tech (XLK) - makes his case for global banks in today's earnings call (transcript): With capital levels of 11-13% at JPM, C, and BCS double what they were pre-crisis, will regulators allow banks to earn a decent return on said capital? A definite "yes," says Pzena, seeing no reason demand for financial products won't continue to grow faster than GDP, and noting bank managers' "laser-like focus" on improving returns. An average price-to-book ratio of 0.7x combined with a modest ROE of 12-13% suggests fair value more than double current prices. Comment! [Financials, Tech, Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, April 24, 7:20 AM More on Barclays (BCS) Q1 earnings: The company missed overall expectations, but profit at its investment banking unit beat estimates thanks to the bank's cost-cutting efforts - which management says remain on track. "The Barclays thesis can't work unless the returns on the investment bank work, and we like the clear strategy," says Bernstein's Chirantan Baura. Shares -2% in London after initially popping nearly 5% higher. Comment! [Financials, Earnings, On the Move]
Wednesday, April 24, 6:44 AM Barclays (BCS): Q1 Adj. profit of £1.79B. Shares -1.7% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Financials, On the Move]
Thursday, April 18, 8:57 AM New Barclays (BCS) CEO Antony Jenkins continues distancing the bank from the legacy of Bob Diamond, the company announcing investment banking chief Rich Ricci and wealth-management boss Tom Kalaris - the last 2 remaining of Diamond's management team - are stepping down. Shares -0.7% premarket. Comment! [Financials]
Wednesday, April 17, 1:38 PM "Too little has been changed to avoid a repeat of the problem," says the Boston Fed's Eric Rosengren, arguing banks with broker-dealer units continue to hold too little capital. "The status quo represents an ongoing financial stability risk." The largest ones still standing are MS, UBS, GS, C, DB, CS, BAC, BCS, and JPM, and each of the U.S. ones passed the Fed stress test and are returning capital. 5 Comments [Financials]
Wednesday, April 3, 7:04 AM Barclays (BCS) needs more board members with banking experience to "challenge effectively the performance of management," according to an internal review ordered in wake of the Libor scandal. Led by stud lawyer Anthony Salz, the review chides the bank's culture as one more focused on profits rather than customers. Comment! [Financials]
Thursday, March 28, 9:21 AM The "generous" capital ratio imposed by the Bank of England - 7% by 2013's end vs. 10% in 2019 by Basel - may allow the country's lenders to avoid dilutive share shales. "There is no trigger for any fresh equity issuance," says analyst Ian Gordon, expecting "very limited" impact on existing capital plans. RBS -0.7%, LYG +0.7%, BCS +1.8%, HBC +1% premarket. Comment! [Financials]
Wednesday, March 27, 6:15 AM While the FTSE and the pound dropped after the BOE's statement about the capital shortfall of British banks, Barclays (BCS) is +1.5% in London, Lloyds (LYG) +2.8% and RBS +0.5%. However, HSBC is -0.2%. 1 Comment [Financials, On the Move, Global & FX, Top Stories]
Wednesday, March 27, 6:09 AM Various markets dive after the BOE spells out the continued massive risks to British banks. Half of the £25B that banks must raise this year has been factored into their capital-raising plans. All in all, major banks and building societies face a £50B reduction in their regulatory capital, although HSBC (HBC) doesn't face a shortfall. FTSE 100 -0.1%, S&P futures -0.2%. (PR) 1 Comment [Financials, Top Stories, On the Move, Global & FX]
