Deutsche Bank CEO Sees Slowdown in Trading Activities in 2H20
Read MoreHide Full Article
Deutsche Bank’s (DB - Free Report) CEO Christian Sewing expects to see a decline in trading activities in the second half of 2020, as the coronavirus outbreak-related concerns gradually ease, per a Bloomberg article. Also, debt capital markets are likely to witness a slowdown in the near term.
In the first quarter, the German lender’s trading division benefitted from the rise in volatility due to the coronavirus pandemic. The momentum continued in second-quarter 2020 as well. Also, with the surge in debt issuances in the first half of 2020, the company’s securities unit flourished.
“The investment bank is clearly on track,” the article quoted Sewing. He also told that in the second half “there will be for sure a little bit of slowdown” based on the fact that the factors that provided a boost in early 2020 will not be repeated.
It has been a year since the bank announced its radical restructuring targets to improve its profitability and make it more competitive among peers. Recently, it has taken some major moves in order to bolster its technology, such as partnering with Google Cloud, to better serve clients with innovative solutions.
Sewing said, “Google Cloud will not only provide us with cutting-edge cloud services, but will also help us develop further products that will create value for our clients. With access to cloud technology, as well as to artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics, we can drive even more precise risk management, create new business models, reduce costs and offer new opportunities to collaborate with our clients.”
Shares of the company gained 14% over the past six months against the 30.2% decline recorded by the industry.
Earnings estimates for the ongoing year for First Republic Bank moved 1.8% north over the past 30 days. The company’s shares have declined 10.5% over the past six months. It currently has a Zacks Rank of 2.
T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (TROW - Free Report) has witnessed a 6% upward earnings estimate revision for the current year in the past 30 days. This Zacks #1 Ranked stock has lost 4.1% over the past six months.
GAIN Capital Holdings’ 2020 earnings estimates have moved significantly north over the past 30 days. The company’s shares have rallied 46.6% over the past six months. It carries a Zacks Rank of 2 at present.
5 Stocks to Soar Past the Pandemic:In addition to the companies you learned about above, we invite you to learn about 5 cutting-edge stocks that could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies. This could be one of the biggest buying opportunities of the decade.
