Paribas sells Bank of the West for $16.3B

04:13pm, Tuesday, 21'st Dec 2021 The Manila Times
PARIS: French lending giant BNP Paribas said on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) it had sold its US retail and commercial banking arm Bank of the West for $16.3 billion in cash. BNP Paribas said in a statement that the sale to Canada''s Bank of Montreal, at a price equivalent to 14.5 billion euros, "is expected to formally close during the course of 2022" subject to clearing regulatory approval and other hurdles. "This is a value-accretive transaction for all sides, which emphasizes the quality of the Bank of the West franchise," BNP chief executive Jean-Laurent Bonnafe said. Media reports in recent weeks had suggested BNP was looking for a buyer for Bank of the West, which it has owned since 1979 and operates 555 branches in 20 US states, with over 9,000 staff. The French lender said the US arm had accounted for around 5 percent of its group-wide pre-tax earnings of between 12 and 14 billion euros in recent years. BNP said that it would distribute some proceeds of the sale to investors on completion, planning a 4-billion-euro share buyout "to compensate the expected dilution of the earnings per share" at the group.
The Transaction is expected to formally close during the course of 2022, upon customary condition precedents, including the approval of the relevant antitrust and regulatory authorities. The total agreed consideration amounts to 16.3 billion US dollars (equivalent to approximately 14.4 billion euros1 ), to be paid in cash at closing of the Transaction. The total consideration represents 1.72 times Bank of the West''s Tangible Book Value2 and 20.5% of BNP Paribas market capitalisation1, Read the full story at https://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=283055

Tighter Policy Is Everything Banks Could Wish For

02:30pm, Thursday, 16'th Dec 2021 Zero Hedge
Tighter Policy Is Everything Banks Could Wish For By Michael Msika, Bloomberg Markets Live commentator and reporter After the U.S. Federal Reserves expected hawkish pivot last night, its now down to the European Central Bank and the Bank of England to address surging inflation. Their decisions will have a big impact on banking stocks, which have strongly outperformed in 2021. Banks have gained almost 30% this year, vying with technology stocks as the top sector, amid strong results and as stickier-than-expected inflation has fueled rate-hike expectations. A hawkish tilt in monetary policy heading into 2022 is what the sector needs to keep its rally going. Banks are the key play on potentially rising yields and on the re-steepening of the yield curve next year, say JPMorgan strategists led by Mislav Matejka. Despite the rally this year, lenders are not expensive. With a blended forward P/E of 8.5 and a forward price-to-book of 0.6, the sector is still historically cheap, on an absolute and a relative basis.
