Banco Santander

Santander reports an adjusted profit increase of almost 20% to €3.85 billion; net profit fell slightly to €3.4 billion due to one-off acquisition-related costs. Revenues rose 12% to just under €16 billion, but were weighed down by stagnant fee income and higher-than-expected risk provisions. The stock fell sharply, trading at €10.79 — its lowest level since June and about 20% below the August high. » Mere på finanzen.net

Santander posted a significantly higher profit in the third quarter, helped in part by the acquisition of US bank Webster, but analysts criticized weak margin and earnings momentum. The stock fell about 4.4 percent by midday to €10.77, returning to mid-June levels. Earlier in the week the 200-day moving average had already been breached, which is seen as a sell signal. » Mere på finanzen.net
