Deutsche Bank has depreciated interestingly

The article in the Financial Times sparked my interest.

Deutsche Bank has been in crisis for 7 years now.

The share price is down 50% in a year.

Valuation near all-time lows, with a P/B of about 0.25.

I’m putting it on my watchlist. In Deutsche’s case, the acute crisis has been replaced by chronic unprofitability. But there’s no bank so bad that it won’t eventually generate a 4% return on equity. At a price-to-book ratio of 0.2, the risk-reward ratio is interesting.

It’s an interesting target, but the poor earnings capability is puzzling. Did they get entangled in Greek bonds or something similar?

  • Price development mirrors other banks, just significantly lower, and on the other hand, for example, BAC has made a tremendous rise in the last 4 weeks compared to the S&P500
