Ayondo Comment: “Barclays’ Earnings may be Impressive, but Behind the Scenes all is Not Well”
Jordan Hiscott, Chief Trader at Ayondo Markets:
“Barclays’ earnings may be impressive, but behind the scenes all is not well”
“While Barclays’ reported earnings are certainly impressive, if we look a little closer at the data we can see a markedly lower performance in the trading units, particularly equities and fixed income. This seems to be the catalyst for the fall in share price today, which is down 4% at 214p.
“In my opinion, the UK’s third largest bank could be facing other headwinds as well. With Britain’s future no longer in Europe, the bank having its base in Canary Wharf with the possibility of staff relocations to other European capitals could be problematic. In addition, the allegations that Chief Executive Jes Staley attempted to identify an anonymous whistle blower continues to put the spotlight on the firm’s corporate governance, which took a damaging blow from the Libor rate rigging scandal.
“At the moment, the share price valuation seems to reflect a slight malaise for the stock in general, being now lower for 2017, compared to the FTSE which is higher by 2.1% over the same period.”
