Barclays PLC (NYSE:BCS) Q3 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Barclays Plc is laying off dozens of staff in its U.S. consumer banking division as part of a global drive to cut costs, according to a source familiar with the situation.

In the kaleidoscopic world of global finance, the ebb and flow of investments often serve as a barometer of a market's potential. A recent move by Barclays Bank and UBS, two titans of international finance,

Barclays and UBS Investments Boost Chinese A-Shares Market

Bob Diamond's period, first as boss of Barclays Capital and then chief executive of the bank, ended in ignominy. But he astutely rebuilt fixed interest and the US arm by buying Lehman.

ALEX BRUMMER: Barclays' next makeover

Running an investment bank is never steady state. Even Goldman Sachs, the smartest traders and advisors in the business, struggle and have flirted with consumer banking, and now wealth management, as an alternative income stream.Barclays has battled for decades to remain in the game.Bob Diamond’s period, first as boss of Barclays Capital and then chief executive of the bank, ended in ignominy. But he astutely rebuilt fixed interest and the US arm by buying Lehman.As other European investment banks such as Deutsche Bank and UBS have curtailed their ambition, Barclays, under disgraced former chief executive Jes Staley and now his reassuring successor CS Venkatakrishnan, steadfastly has kept the flag flying.Short-termism in the City means Barclays’ shares have taken a battering in the third quarter. One doesn’t have to be an analyst to recognise that the fixed interest market is stalling in an era of surging rates. Corporate and institutional banking income may be down 6pc overall, but at £3.1bn it is not to be dismissed.Similarly, there may be moans and groans about shrinkage in the interest rate margins to 3.04pc at the ring-fenced UK bank. But if those margins were still widening, there would be complaints about customers being exploited.Since Venkat took the helm in 2021, after Staley was stood down over his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, his main task has been to steady the ship. It was not made any easier by his diagnosis last year with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, an illness with which I am intimately familiar.Now Venkat is back on deck, it is as good a time as any to conduct a strategic review at a moment when technology is transforming banking on a daily basis.It is not just Barclays’ cost structure and activities which need attention. So does the bank’s governance. The choice of thoughtful Rothschild veteran Nigel Higgins as chairman, as successor to the excitable John Mcfarlane, seemed sensible enough. Rothschild has a stellar reputation as a corporate problem solver.However, the real test of a chairman is how they handle a crisis. The naivety of Higgins and the board in accepting Staley’s version of events about his relationship with Epstein doesn’t bear scrutiny. There was enough knowledge of Staley’s yachting trips to the US Virgin Islands and years of dealings with a morally corrupt financier to sink him long before a stash of emails showing the intimacy of the relationship emerged.Higgins may be waiting upon the Staley appeal to the Financial Conduct Authority’s tribunal to be adjudicated before taking responsibility for a governance debacle. If Barclays really wants a fresh start, then it should begin at the very top.In Sir John Kingman, the chairman of Barclays’ ring-fenced UK bank and author of an astute report on audit and governance reform, it has an ideal replacement.Tech traumaBritain remains a vital hub for fintech. It is no accident that JP Morgan Chase has chosen to make London its headquarters for European digital banking.Unfortunately, in spite of the opportunity, it is not all plain sailing for new tech. Revolut, Britain’s biggest banking start-up with 8m customers, still lacks a UK banking licence more than two years after it first applied. It has been plagued by qualified accounts and delayed financial reporting.The latest newcomer to encounter problems is CAB Payments. Its shares sank 72pc in latest trading after it revealed its business model, which is based round making financial transfers to Africa, was suffering from volatility in local currencies hurting margins and volumes. Who would have guessed that currencies go up and down?CAB’s problems slightly jolted the shares of much larger competitor Wise, which had a run-in with HMRC over the personal tax affairs of founder Kristo Kaarmann.Teething difficulties in start-ups are to be expected. But getting forecasts, audit and tax affairs so wrong is unforgivable.Numbers gameFull marks to the Office for National Statistics for coming up with ‘experimental’ data for unemployment figures by mining tax records and benefits claims. That shows initiative, given that data from the usually reliable Labour Force Survey is incomplete.Yet it is disturbing that for the second time in a few weeks, the official data on which major economic decisions are made turns out to be untrustworthy. That’s scary.

The U.K. bank announced mixed quarterly results and lowered its forward outlook for net interest margin. Here's what investors need to know.

There I was, together with millions of people around the world, “virtually” standing in front of Jennifer Bailey as she introduced the new Apple Card. It took hours, if not minutes, for media outlets to start rolling out headlines describing this credit card as “<a href="https://irishtechnews.ie/how-apple-card-can-disrupt-the-decades-old-credit-card-industry/">disruptive</a>”. But as a former General Manager at Visa and the current CEO of a leading digital payment solution, I wondered: “Is Apple Card really a disrupter of the payments industry?”

Bonds have existed since 2400 BC, with deep roots in our financial system. At a variable or fixed interest rate, bonds are fixed-income investments used by entities (corporations or governments) to raise money and finance a variety of projects for a defined period of time.

Making heads or tails of short-term activity in the crypto markets is the equivalent of trying to understand chaos theory. While it may be futile to try to understand what caused crypto assets to experience intraday volatility the macro volatility cycle is much more predictable. Not surprisingly, people tend to ask the hard questions when the markets are crashing and less so when they are on the rise.

It’s hard to imagine a single day without running water. Well, 4 million people woke up to this living nightmare in Cape Town, South Africa last year. Officials predicted the city had 6 months of reserves left. Through collective action and some unusually lucky rainfall in the region, they narrowly avoided running out of water. This is not the end of South Africa’s water problems. Climate change and poor water management continues to contribute to water scarcity, raising tensions at political, economical and neighbourhood levels.
