Credit Suisse Stock Lost 21% Last Week, What’s Next?

Credit Suisse’s stock (NYSE: CS) has lost 21% in the last week, underperforming the S&P 500 by a huge margin (down 4.6%). Further, the same trend was observed over the last ten days (-24% vs -9.5%) and one month (-22% vs -11%). 

A big chunk of the recent stock decline came after Reuters reported on Friday (down 12%) that the company is looking to raise fresh capital to revamp its investment banking business. The report further suggests the firm is weighing different scenarios for the investment bank, including exiting the U.S. market. 

Before this, the bank posted weak results in the second quarter of 2022, with the net revenues decreasing 29% y-o-y to CHF 3.6 billion. It was primarily due to a decline in investment bank revenues driven by lower capital markets issuance activity and a drop in client activity levels. Further, the wealth management and asset management segments also posted negative growth. Overall, the pre-tax income was down from CHF 813 million to CHF -1.17 billion.
