Barclays and Centrica among the firms braced for shareholder storms at this week's raft of annual general meetings

[portside1] 08/5/2017 07:21

The Leave.EU Twitter account has responded to Emmanuel Macron’s victory in the French presidential election with a series of controversial tweets.
As projections suggested the centrist had comfortably defeated far-right Marine Le Pen, the campaign group, backed by Ukip funder Arron Banks and former leader Nigel Farage, tweeted: “RIP France."
It later posted a picture of a Second World War-era front page reading “France Surrenders” along with a caption reading: “The French rolled over in 1940. This time they’ve saved Germany the fuel and bullets.”

BARC likely puts in a rally tomorrow.

[smurfy2001] 07/5/2017 16:03

No we don't know the size for definite.

[fearnwood] 07/5/2017 15:49

Smurfy, we know what size of fine the DoJ demanded from Barc was, it's not a mystery. Barc baulked at it and refused to pay, the only unknown is what the fine will be if they lose their legal defence against the DoJ. I still think that this is a game of 'who blinks first' and given the legal precedent of the DoJ recently losing a similar action I expect there will be a settlement at a vastly lower number than the reported $2bn originally demanded. There are hardly any banks left with an outstanding penalty so the DoJ won't really weaken their hand in further negotiations by settling. However I expect the DoJ will definately want to get RBS out of the way first as the level of that fine is expected to be a biggie and then they'll be clear to sort a compromise deal with Barc, so I don't see why this fine is anything to be overly concerned about... The shareprice fall on Friday was almost certainly the markets pricing in the risk of a Le Pen victory as banking stocks are widely expected to be hardest hit in that eventuality. If Macron wins then there should be a bounce back on Monday.

Jes should be fired for misconduct and bringing the business into dispute, without compensation. He has acted either for lack of integrity (the second incident putting him seeking his family interest at the expense of Barclay shareholders) or for lack of judgement, either of them, not to mention both of them probably on his part, should instantly disqualify him for such an important role for such a big bank.

[manics] 07/5/2017 07:12

As I say, nobody is happy with BARC, especially the owners.

"Barclays’ leading investors have turned up the heat on Jes Staley, warning they will seek to remove the embattled chief executive if he makes another mis-step".

[smurfy2001] 06/5/2017 17:49

Fines to date. I reckon this is now a strong sell.

Here's a breakdown of some of the biggest banks and their settlements with the Justice Department in the last few years, ordered from oldest to newest:


JP Morgan (JPM) - $13 billion (2013)
Citigroup (C) - $7 billion (2014)
Bank of America (BAC) - $16.7 billion (2014)
Goldman Sachs (GS) - $5.1 billion (2016)
Morgan Stanley (MS) - $3.2 billion (2016)
Deutsche Bank (DB) - $7.2 billion (this week)
Credit Suisse (CS) - $5.3 billion (this week)

How many billions(?) will Barclays pay if fined?

[riskvsreward] 06/5/2017 09:50

Largely the ceo (and therefore the bods and Chairman in particular) to blame, two bad press revealings in a row. Now one can see why JPM picked Dimon over Jes for its top job.
