The impact of Brexit on the markets has gone through different stages. There was the initial upheaval in the wake of the referendum result, which had its maximum effect on June 24 when the Ibex recorded its biggest ever fall. And now the stock market and European public debt yields have recovered to pre-Brexit levels.
José A. Santos (Patrivalor) | The value of the 60 Spanish companies listed on the stock market stood at 536.499 billion euros at end-July 2016, down 9.0% from end-2015, Patrivalor says.
Norbolsa | CaixaBank posted overall solid figures in the first half to 2016, particularly with regard to its net interest margin.
Norbolsa | Bankia’s (BKIA) interest margin fell more than expected in the first half of 2016, but the lender’s ability to lower provisions and costs offset this to some extent.
Norbolsa | After a disappointing first quarter performance, BBVA’s second quarter 2016 results beat estimates, showing a good performance across the board.
Norbolsa | Santander’s first half 2016 results were overall positive, underpinned by a reduction in the cost of risk across most of the bank’s divisions and a good performance on the costs and commissions side.
Norbolsa | The change in trend in lending has been the most positive element in the Spanish banks’ first half 2016 results.
Julius Baer | For the market, the additional budget package is insufficient to stimulate the economy but seemingly too much to leave yields where they are.
Citi | ACS’ first half 2016 results were broadly in line with consensus estimates, although net income came in slightly lower at €388 million euros vs consensus of €411 million (-5%).
Citi | Tecnicas Reunidas (TRE) reported second quarter 2016 EBIT of €50 million vs consensus of €41 million (+20%), driven by higher revenues. Citi analysts flag that the operating margin of 4% was in-line with the company’s guidance, with the execution progressing as planned on all key projects.
