FINANCIALS: SocGen Selling Two Wealth Units: Shouldn't Be Spread Material
FINANCIALS
SocGen (SOCGEN: Baa2 neg/BBB/A- pos) is selling its private banking units in UK & Switzerland to UBP for EUR900m. CET1 seen rising c.10bp on this news, looks around a 5% deal (market cap terms), likely some minor EPS dilution but shouldn’t meaningfully alter spreads, we feel.
