Bank shares plummet as Credit Suisse rescue fails to quell contagion fears

Quote

... UBS shares fell by as much as 16% in early trade, their biggest one-day fall since 2008, amid concerns among investors about the long-term benefits of the deal and the outlook for banks in Switzerland, a country once seen a paragon of sound banking. ...

 

... European bank shares slumped, with an index of leading lenders (.SX7P) down 5.8%. German banking giants Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) and Commerzbank dropped 10.9% and 8.5% respectively, while France's BNP Paribas (BNPP.PA) fell 8.2%.

Those sharp moves followed a day of heavy selling in Asian financial markets as early investor optimism about official efforts to stem a banking crisis quickly evaporated. ...

 

... Credit Suisse shares slumped 62%, reflecting the huge loss its shareholders will see in their investment in the bank. ...

Generally acquiring companies (even in the best circumstances) drop in value after an announcement but as you could imagine, these aren't the best circumstances.

 

From what I understand, the investment banking business will be wound down but the private banking is extremely lucrative.

have been for 12 or so years. Just sold our 168000 mile 2013 Honda Odyssey.  Hope to buy the replacement vehicle with cash by the weekend. Really freeing to do that! This is what changed my mindset after becoming a Dave Ramsey disciple.

Switzerland’s emergency rescue of Credit Suisse could cost $13,500 for each and every Swiss person

Quote

Switzerland’s tab for shoring up its reputation as a financial center could run to 12,500 Swiss francs ($13,500) for every man, woman and child in the country. 

 

To backstop the emergency sale of Credit Suisse Group AG to its Zurich rival UBS Group AG, the Swiss government pledged to make as much as 109 billion francs available — a hefty burden for the country of 8.7 million people. 

 

On top of that, there’s a guarantee from the Swiss National Bank of 100 billion francs that isn’t backed by a government guarantee, according to the deal announced Sunday evening.

 

The combined sum of 209 billion francs is equivalent to about a quarter of Switzerland’s gross domestic product and exceeds total European defense spending in 2021. The price tag for Switzerland’s largest ever corporate rescue could add up to more than three times the 60 billion-franc bailout of UBS in 2008. ...

PacWest is not doing well.

PacWest lost 20% of deposits amid bank turmoil

Quote

PacWest Bancorp said it lost 20 per cent of its deposits so far this year but that it had shored up its access to cash by raising $1.4bn via a lending facility from Apollo-backed investment firm Atlas SP Partners.

 

PacWest’s deposits had fallen to $27.1bn as of Monday from $33.9bn at the end of 2022, the Beverly Hills-based bank said in a statement on Wednesday. Nearly two-thirds of its deposits were covered by a US government-backed insurance programme and the bank had more cash on hand than it did uninsured deposits. ...

 

... PacWest shares were trading down about 3.2 per cent in early New York trading on Wednesday, while the broader KBW Bank index was down about 0.8 per cent. PacWest shares are down more than 50 per cent this month.

 

The deal with Atlas, an asset-backed financing facility, is part of a raft of steps the bank said it had taken to bolster its access to funding as several US regional banks grapple with the fallout of SVB’s collapse.

 

PacWest has drawn on government lending programmes, borrowing $3.7bn from the Federal Home Loan Bank and $10.5bn from the Federal Reserve’s discount window, seen as the two lenders of last resort to US banks. ...
