April 6 (Reuters) - Credit Suisse Group on Tuesday announced an estimated charge of 4.4 billion Swiss francs ($4.7 billion) from its relationship with Archegos Capital Management LP, suspended a share buyback programme and cut its proposed dividend.
Following are reactions to the development.
MICHAEL KUNZ, ANALYST AT ZUERCHER KANTONALBANK
“An individual case has ruined the otherwise successful work of the bank as a whole in the first quarter. At least - in our opinion - personnel consequences have now been taken. The main damage, however, has been inflicted on shareholders, who have to make do with a lower dividend and a suspended share buyback. In view of the bank’s vulnerability to risk....it does not seem appropriate to us to recommend bets on the securities of CS Group.”
