Credit Suisse will draw CHF50bn from the central bank liquidity facility to support its liquidity position. Credit Suisse offers support for its secondary OpCo debt with a tender offer focusing on the shorter end of the curve. The HoldCo curves are left to be driven by market forces. The usage of the liquidity facility sends a mixed signal. While it is comforting that the bank has access to liquidity it may need, it is also rather disturbing that it needs it. We remain cautious on the name.
The US bank collapses brought bank failures back to investors' radar, but Europeans have issues of their own to worry about. The FT writes that Credit Suisse[de] has asked for a public show of support from Swiss authorities today, after the 30% drop in its share price. We do not know the nature of this show of support and would remain very cautious with the bank's loss-absorbing debt.
Moody's announced today it took action on ratings of several European banks across products. Most changes were driven by methodology changes. Changes included some negative OpCo senior/preferred senior changes, and an upgrade of Rabobank. In bail-in senior (HC and NPS) ratings were upgraded among others for Danske Bank, Nordea, OP Corporate Bank, ABN AMRO and NIBC, while Handelsbanken was placed on review for upgrade. Many subs were upgraded. Only Credit Suisse saw a downgrade driven by company-...
The issues with the US hedge fund fully erased the benefits of the extremely strong underlying performance of Credit Suisse in 1Q21. The bank has raised CHF1.7bn in capital to shore up its finances to absorb the combined effects from volume growth, adverse FX and regulatory impacts. The problems are not yet over as Credit Suisse is set to book further, although more limited, charges in 2Q21, in addition to which legal risks remain considerable in our view.
Credit Suisse is guiding for its earnings to drop to another loss in 1Q21 as the bank books a CHF4.4bn charge from the US hedge fund margin call failure. Capital metrics will have been hit since the year-end, with the CET1 ratio seen at at least 12%, down from 12.9% at year-end. This represents a downgrade from the guidance of at least 12.5% for 1H21. While the bank is able to absorb the impact with a combination of its existing buffers and strong earnings generation, its room to manoeuvre has b...
Credit Suisse stands to book a potentially significant loss from a client default on margin calls. This follows the potential impact from the demise of Greensill Capital earlier this quarter. Credit Suisse spreads have widened today on the news. In our view these events overshadow the bank's otherwise positive operating trends over 1Q21 and pose both financial and reputational risks.
Both Barclays and Credit Suisse reported today sluggish earnings for 4Q20 as the strong performances in the CIB or the Investment Bank units were not enough to offset weakness elsewhere. Profitability metrics of both banks dipped. Barclays's capital metrics were supported by regulatory relief with its CET1 ratio of 15.1% ahead of Credit Suisse's (BIS) 12.9%, while leverage ratios were resilient at 5.3% vs 6.4%. In our view both banks' credit metrics lag peers as of 4Q20, despite the relatively s...

>Better-than-expected US CIB performance - The 2018Q2 results confirm the already positive trends in 2018Q1:The rise in revenues amounts to almost 10% over a year vs. 8% in Q1. All businesses are up except DCM (-2.6%). These trends look above management guidance, way more cautious than a few weeks ago.The level of revenues achieved in 2018Q2 is 13% over the average for revenues in Q2s from 2010 to 2017. In our view, this suggests ongoing market share gains ...
