Decibel Cannabis Company Inc. (TSXV:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DB#TSXV">DB</a>) (OTCQB:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DBCCF#OTCQB">DBCCF</a>) announced Tuesday that it has received final acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange for its previously announced acquisition of a Canadian licensed producer of cannabis, AgMedica Bioscience Inc.
The acquisition, arranged through an agreement with Callisto Capital Corp. on October 28, 2024, was made in exchange for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41600492/decibel-acquires-agmedica-announces-private-placement-and-third-quarter-guidance">$6.3 million unsecured convertible debenture</a>. As a result of receiving the acceptance, Decibel has completed the conversion of the convertible debenture, pursuant to which it has issued 114.55 million common shares to Callisto.
The conversion of the convertible debenture was conditional upon receipt of final TSXV acceptance for the acquisition of AgMedica pursuant to Exchange Policy 5.3. This policy would have required approval from disinterested shareholders if Callisto became a major controller of the company. However, because the company has finished its recent private funding, Callisto will not control the company after the bond is converted. Therefore, approval from disinterested shareholders is not needed for the conversion.

On Nov. 25, the Calgary, Alberta-based cannabis company confirmed completion of the second and final closing of non-brokered private placement of its common shares at $0.06 per share. At the second closing of the offering, it issued 19.65 million shares for gross proceeds of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/24/11/42164794/decibel-cannabis-raises-1-18m-secures-capital-for-agmedica-bioscience-integration">roughly $1.18 million.</a>
Previously, Decibel projected that AgMedica could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41600492/decibel-acquires-agmedica-announces-private-placement-and-third-quarter-guidance">contribute $30 million of net revenue</a> and $4 million of EBITDA in 2025, totaling an anticipated $130 million of net revenue and $25 million of adjusted EBITDA in 2025 on a pro-forma basis.
The transaction is expected to materially expand Decibel&#8217;s international footprint with EU GMP certification that enables export of flower and a variety of extract products, with proven sales to seven different countries including Australia, Denmark, Germany, Israel, Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom.

A Glimpse of Deutsche Bank's Earnings Potential

Deutsche Bank AG Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DB#NYSE">DB</a>) shares are trading lower on Monday. A new Bloomberg report suggests a shareholder is preparing to sell 16 million shares, valued at approximately $279 million, of the German lender. Here&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/09/41095830/3-stocks-to-consider-from-the-prospering-foreign-banks-industry"> what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-14/deutsche-bank-shareholder-is-looking-to-sell-279-million-stake?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">According to Bloomberg</a>, a single shareholder is offering to sell around 16 million shares, which is expected to price at 16.01 euros ($17.46) per share. The transaction could generate roughly 256 million euros ($279 million) in gross proceeds for the seller. The deal is being arranged by<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41318123/goldman-sachs-gears-up-for-q3-reveal-will-its-earnings-shine-like-other-major-banks"> Goldman Sachs</a>, though Deutsche Bank has declined to comment.
This development comes amid a broader trend of sell-offs in European companies, as stockholders aim to capitalize on high stock prices. Since early September, nearly $11 billion worth of deals have been priced, with banking institutions like Commerzbank, National Bank of Greece and Santander Bank Polska also seeing significant shareholder exits.
Why It Matters: The shareholder's decision to sell may suggest an opportunity to lock in profits as the bank's stock price climbs. This sale occurs just ahead of the bank's third-quarter earnings release, scheduled for Oct. 23, before the market opens. Analysts expect the bank to report estimated earnings per share of 58 cents and revenue of $7.820 billion.
DB Price Action: Deutsche Bank shares were down by 1.80% at $17.44 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Shares of banking and financial services stocks are trading higher following better-than-expected financial results from JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo.

Banks across the globe have been continuously undertaking restructuring efforts to focus more on core operations. While these efforts are expected to result in elevated expenses, they will aid growth in the long run. While the uneven economic recovery in developed and emerging nations has been hurting revenue growth for companies within the Zacks <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/stocks-in-industry/banks-foreign-12/stocks-in-industry">Foreign Banks</a> Industry, the current high interest rate environment will continue to provide support.
Thus, despite the geopolitical concerns, industry players like HSBC Holdings plc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hsbc#NYSE">HSBC</a>), Barclays PLC (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bcs#NYSE">BCS</a>) and Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/db#NYSE">DB</a>) are well-poised to gain from relatively high rates.
<h3>About The Industry</h3>
The Zacks Foreign Banks Industry consists of overseas banks with operations in the United States. Since a foreign banking organization may have federal and state-chartered offices in the country, the Federal Reserve plays a major role in supervising their U.S. operations. In addition to providing a broad range of products and services to customers in the United States, the banks offer financial services to corporate clients having businesses in the country. The financial firms establish relations with U.S. corporations operating in their home countries. Some units of foreign banks offer a broad range of wholesale and retail services, and conduct money-market transactions for their parent organizations. Some firms are involved in developing only specialized services.
<h3>3 Foreign Bank Industry Trends To Watch</h3>
High Interest Rate Environment to Aid Top-Line Growth: The efforts undertaken by the central banks across the globe to cushion economies from the pandemic-induced economic slowdown in 2020 (reducing benchmark interest rates to record lows) were successful in aiding immediate economic growth. However, it eroded banks&#39; profitability to a great extent. The pace of economic recovery, which has been uneven in the developed (home to a number of major foreign banks) and emerging nations, also hampered banking operations globally. Nevertheless, almost all central banks across the globe began raising interest rates from the beginning of 2022 to counter inflation, which supported banks&#39; top-line growth. While higher deposit costs might continue to weigh on banks&#39; net interest income and margin growth to some extent, banks are expected to keep getting support amid the current high interest rate environment. Despite the fact that central banks across the globe have started with rate cuts, interest rates are likely to remain relatively high in the near term. The efforts undertaken by most banks to diversify revenue sources to become less dependent on spread income will likely support non-interest income growth. 
Restructuring Efforts Likely to Keep Costs Elevated: Several foreign banks are undertaking business-restructuring efforts. Many banks have either been divesting or closing non-core operations to increase focus on core businesses and regions. While restructuring efforts are expected to boost growth in the long run, these have been leading to higher expenses. Increased costs related to technology upgrades are likely to keep hampering banks&#39; bottom-line growth to some extent in the near term. 
Uneven Global Economic Recovery Poses Concern: After the coronavirus outbreak, business confidence was shattered across the globe as the pandemic loomed over corporate earnings and economic growth. While the economy has recovered from the negative impacts of the pandemic, growth has slowed in some regions because of certain other geopolitical concerns. Banks&#39; performances are directly linked to the performance of the overall economy. Thus, uneven economic growth may hurt banks&#39; finances to an extent in the upcoming period.
<h3>Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Bright Prospects</h3>
The Zacks Foreign Banks Industry is a 66-stock group within the broader Zacks <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/sector/Finance-13">Finance</a> Sector. The industry currently carries a Zacks <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/industries/">Industry Rank</a> #49, which places it in the top 20% of more than 250 Zacks industries. 
The group&#39;s Zacks Industry Rank, which is basically the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates outperformance in the near term. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperforms the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1. 
The industry&#39;s positioning in the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries is a result of an impressive earnings outlook for the constituent companies in aggregate. Looking at the aggregate earnings estimate revisions, it appears that analysts are gaining confidence in this group&#39;s growth potential. The industry&#39;s most recent earnings estimates for 2024 have been revised 2.9% higher since the end of June 2024. 
Thus, we present a few stocks from the industry that you may want to keep an eye on. But before that, let us check out the industry&#39;s recent stock market performance and valuation picture.
<h3>Industry Underperforms S&amp;P 500 But Outperforms Finance Sector</h3>
The Zacks Foreign Banks Industry has underperformed the S&amp;P 500 but outperformed its sector in the past two years. 
Stocks in the industry have collectively gained 52.5%. The S&amp;P 500 composite has rallied 56.5% and the Zacks Finance Sector has appreciated 47.2%.
<h3>Two-Year Price Performance</h3>
<img alt="" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/zadmin_tuner_image/io1(17).jpg" style="height:341px; width:620px" />
<h3>Industry&#39;s Current Valuation</h3>
One might get a good sense of the industry&#39;s relative valuation by looking at its price-to-tangible book ratio (P/TBV), which is commonly used for valuing banks because of large variations in their earnings results from one quarter to the next. 
The industry currently has a trailing 12-month P/TBV of 2.31X. This compares with the highest level of 2.34X, the lowest level of 0.79X and the median of 1.62X over the past five years. Additionally, the industry is trading at a significant discount compared with the market at large, as the trailing 12-month P/TB for the S&amp;P 500 composite is 14.90X, which the chart below shows.

<img alt="" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/zadmin_tuner_image/io2(16).jpg" style="height:344px; width:620px" />
As finance stocks typically have a lower P/TBV ratio, comparing foreign banks with the S&amp;P 500 might not make sense to many investors. However, a comparison of the group&#39;s P/TBV ratio with that of its broader sector ensures that it is trading at a decent discount. The Zacks Finance Sector&#39;s trailing 12-month P/TBV of 5.69X and the median level of 4.44X for the same period are above the Zacks Foreign Banks Industry&#39;s ratios.

<h3>3 Foreign Banks Worth A&nbsp;Look</h3>
HSBC: Headquartered in London, it is a major global banking and financial services firm with $2.98 trillion in assets as of June 30, 2024. 
The company has been committed to bolstering its performance with a special focus on building operations across Asia. It intends to position itself as a top bank for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients in the region. 
In sync with this, the company acquired Citigroup&#39;s retail wealth management business in China in June 2024, whereas it acquired Singapore-based SilkRoad Property Partners Group in January. HSBC re-launched its private banking business in India as the country has been experiencing a surge in the number of super-rich. 
In 2022, HSBC acquired 100% of the issued share capital of AXA Insurance in Singapore and L&amp;T Investment Management Limited. These initiatives will likely help the company strengthen its position in the region, which constitutes more than half of its operations. 
HSBC has been restructuring its operations to further improve operating efficiency. In 2020, it announced the transformation plan to reshape underperforming businesses, simplify complex organizations and reduce costs. The company realized gross savings of $5.6 billion, with cost to achieve a spend of $6.5 billion by 2022-end. HSBC expects to achieve additional cost savings this year, driven by the actions undertaken in 2023. 
In April 2024, the company announced an agreement to divest its Argentina business, whereas in February, HSBC agreed to sell its Armenian unit. The company has already exited retail banking businesses in the United States, Canada, France, New Zealand, Greece and Russia. 
HSBC&#39;s brand, capital strength, extensive global network and positioning enable it to continuously attract and retain clients. The company&#39;s product and service leadership in alternative investments, foreign exchange, credit, investment advice and many other cross-border banking services help it widen its customer base. 
Shares of the company have gained 16.9% on the NYSE in the past year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current-year earnings has moved 2.7% higher in the past 60 days. Currently, HSBC carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

<h3>Price And Consensus: HSBC</h3>
<img alt="" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/zadmin_tuner_image/io4(15).jpg" style="height:350px; width:620px" />

Barclays: Headquartered in London, this Zacks Ranked #3 (Hold) company is a major global banking and financial services firm with &pound;1,576.6 billion ($1,993.5 billion) in total assets as of June 30, 2024. 
Over the past few years, Barclays has been striving to simplify operations and focus on core businesses. As part of its business overhaul, the company announced changes to its operating divisions effective first-quarter 2024. 
In July 2024, the company announced the divestiture of its German consumer finance business, while it announced the disposal of its Italian mortgage portfolio (which was completed in the second quarter of 2024) in April. Additionally, the company has sold $1.1 billion in credit card receivables to Blackstone&#39;s Credit &amp; Insurance segment to bolster lending capacity for Barclays Bank Delaware in the United States. 
This February, the company announced a deal to acquire Tesco&#39;s retail banking business. The move is expected to complement its existing business and strengthen its position in the market. In 2023, Barclays acquired Kensington Mortgage, which bolstered its mortgage business in the U.K. Driven by these initiatives, the company&#39;s profitability is expected to improve over time. 
Moreover, Barclays&#39; initiatives to improve efficiency over the past few years have been bearing fruit, as evident from a fall in expenses. While total operating expenses increased in 2022, 2023 and the first half of 2024, the metric declined, seeing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4% over the six years ended 2021. As BCS&#39; business-restructuring initiatives continue to offer support, overall costs are expected to be manageable. 
Driven by the structural cost actions taken in 2023 and ongoing efficiency investments, expense savings of &pound;1 billion are anticipated in 2024, with a payback of less than two years. By 2026, management expects total gross efficiency savings of &pound;2 billion and the cost-to-income ratio in the high 50s. 
BCS shares have gained 62.1% on the NYSE in the past 12 months. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company&#39;s 2024 earnings has moved 1.2% higher in the past 60 days.
<h3>Price And Consensus: BCS</h3>
<img alt="" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/zadmin_tuner_image/io5(17).jpg" style="height:350px; width:620px" /> 
Deutsche Bank: Headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, this is the largest bank in Germany and one of the largest financial institutions in the world, as measured by total assets. It offers a wide variety of investment, financial and related products and services. 
Growth in net revenues has been a key strength at Deutsche Bank. The metric has seen a CAGR of 2.7% over the five years ended 2023, with the uptrend persisting in the first six months of 2024. Notably, the bank&#39;s efforts to shift focus from investment banking to more stable businesses, such as private bank, corporate bank and the asset management unit, will likely continue to aid revenues in the upcoming period. 
The bank closed the acquisition of Numis, which is likely to aid the Asset Management segment. Management expects revenues to witness a CAGR of 5.5-6.5% for the period between 2021 and 2025. 
Moreover, solid deposit balances support DB&#39;s financials. The metric witnessed a CAGR of 2% over the five years ended 2023, with the uptrend continuing in the first half of 2024. The company benefits from its well-diversified deposit base across various client segments and regions. Also, its loan-to-deposit ratio reflects a strong and stable funding base. Thus, we believe that the stable deposit balance will strengthen the company&#39;s balance sheet. 
Deutsche Bank has been returning excess capital to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. At its annual general meeting in May 2024, the bank proposed 2023 dividends of 45 cents per share, aggregating approximately &euro;900 million. This indicates an increase from 30 cents per share paid out in 2022. For 2024 and 2025, the company plans to pay out dividends of 68 cents and &euro;1 per share, respectively. 
The company also has a share repurchase program. In July 2024, the bank completed the share repurchase program launched on March 4, 2024. Under this program, 46.4 million shares were repurchased for &euro; 675 million, bringing cumulative shareholder distributions through dividends and share repurchases to &euro; 3.3 billion since 2022. DB is committed to capital distributions of &euro;8 billion over the financial years 2022-2026. 
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company&#39;s 2024 earnings has been revised 3.5% higher over the past 60 days. DB shares have gained 63.3% on the NYSE in the past year. The company currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3.

3 Stocks To Consider From The Prospering Foreign Banks Industry

Each week,&nbsp;Benzinga's Stock Whisper Index&nbsp;uses a combination of proprietary data and pattern recognition to showcase five stocks that are just under the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-whisper-index" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">surface and deserve attention</a>.
Investors are constantly on the hunt for undervalued, under-followed and emerging stocks. With countless methods available to retail traders, the challenge often lies in sifting through the abundance of information to uncover new opportunities and understand why certain stocks should be of interest.
Here&#8217;s a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week of Sept. 20:
Barrick Gold (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>): The gold-mining company saw increased interest from readers this week on the heels of a 50 basis point cut to interest rates by the Federal Reserve, which saw gold prices rise. The interest also comes after Barrick Gold CEO Mark Bristow spoke at the Gold Forum Americas earlier this week and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40915786/barrick-forecasts-strong-organic-growth-by-2030-ceo-bristow-touts-undervaluation"> said the company expects </a>30% growth in gold-equivalent ounces by the end of the decade from its existing assets. 
Bristow's comments emphasized the company's current mines and those in development, as the industry experiences a surge in merger and acquisition activity. The CEO also highlighted how the company is expanding its copper portfolio, which could be something exciting to watch for investors.
Barrick shares were down 2% over the last five trading days, as seen on the <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent092024&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro chart</a> below. The stock is up 14% year-to-date in 2024.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent092024&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="999" height="483" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20121633/Screenshot-183.png" alt="" class="wp-image-558808" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20121633/Screenshot-183.png 999w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20121633/Screenshot-183-300x145.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20121633/Screenshot-183-768x371.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px" /></a></figure>
Galmed Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLMD#NASDAQ">GLMD</a>): The biopharmaceutical company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40941193/galmed-pharmaceuticals-stock-is-soaring-thursday-heres-why">saw shares soar </a>during the week after an announcement on drug development activities. Galmed plans to add drug developments that target cardiac fibrosis and colorectal and hepatic cancers. The company will release data from the studies during the fourth quarter.
"The conditions Galmed plans to focus upon in the coming years are major public health problems impacting millions of people worldwide and posing huge financial burden on health providers," Galmed CEO Allen Baharaff said.
Large interest in Galmed saw shares halted several times during the trading week. Helping with volatility in the biopharmaceutical company is the low-float of the stock with around 625,000 shares available according to Benzinga Pro. Low-float stocks can often see high volatility on company announcements.
The stock was up 160% over the last five days and up nearly 100% year-to-date in 2024.

ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>): The software company is seeing a large increase in interest from readers ahead of its third-quarter financial results. Analysts expect the company to report revenue of $2.74 billion, up from $2.29 billion in last year's third quarter.
The company has beaten analyst revenue estimates in six straight quarters. Analysts expect the company to report earnings per share of $3.46, up from $2.92 in last year's third quarter. ServiceNow has beaten earnings estimates from analysts in more than 20 straight quarters.
The company's earnings report will show investors and analysts whether revenue growth and AI platform demand are continuing to strengthen.

Deutsche Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DB#NYSE">DB</a>): It's not every week that a bank stock makes its way on the Stock Whisper Index, but here we are. Deutsche Bank saw strong interest from readers, which could be due to bank stocks getting a lift after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/09/40928301/interest-rates-in-free-fall-what-it-means-for-mortgages-credit-cards-and-your-wallet-a">interest rate cut was announced.</a> 
The move could see lenders have their balance sheets strengthened going forward and see increased demand for loan activity. Deutsche Bank reports third-quarter financial results in October and could comment on demand and what the future looks like for the company and the sector.
Shares were up 5% over the last five days and 24% year-to-date.

Stryker Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYK#NYSE">SYK</a>): The medical equipment company saw strong interest from readers during the week, which comes on the heels of acquisition announcements, new products <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SYK/analyst-ratings">and analyst notes</a>. 
The company recently unveiled new foot and ankle solutions that can help restore limb length. Stryker closed its acquisition of privately held care.ai, a company helping with AI-assisted virtual care workflows and smart room technology. The company said the acquisition will help accelerate its digital vision and could expand its healthcare IT business. 
On Friday, Stryker closed its acquisition of NICO Corporation, a company with a surgery method for tumor and intracerebral hemorrhage procedures. Stryker also announced an acquisition of pain management company Vertos Medical in August. Together, the acquisitions and new products could have investors excited about the company's future and its potential diversification efforts.
Piper Sandler recently maintained an Overweight rating and a $380 price target on the stock. Wolfe Research initiated coverage with an Outperform rating and a $405 price target.

The latest equity research report from Pablo Zuanic of Zuanic &amp; Associates highlights key trends in Canada's cannabis market, noting a deceleration in recreational sales growth.
Data from StatCan reveals that sales for 2Q24 were down 4% year-over-year (YoY), contributing to a 1.3% decline year-to-date (YTD) compared to 14% growth in 1H23. In contrast, Hifyre data shows a 6% YTD growth through August.
If annualized, this growth would project a total<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/canada-cannabis"> recreational market</a> size of C$5.47 billion for calendar year 2024, translating to US$102 per capita.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Format Preferences Continue To Evolve</h3>
The Canadian cannabis market is shifting towards newer product formats, with some segments outperforming others. Flower remains the largest category, accounting for 36% of sales in June-August 2024, down from 41% in 1Q23 and 57% in 1Q21.

Barclays Upgrades Deutsche Bank to Overweight

Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DB#NYSE">DB</a>) shares are trading higher today. The company <a href="https://www.db.com/news/detail/20240821-deutsche-bank-reaches-settlements-with-a-large-share-of-the-plaintiffs-in-postbank-takeover-litigation-matter-media-release?language_id=1">stated</a> that it has made substantial progress in its discussions with plaintiffs regarding the litigation over the Postbank takeover and the offer price paid to former Postbank shareholders.
On Thursday, the company reached agreements with over 80 plaintiffs, covering nearly 60% of the total claims.
The settlements are based on an offer of €31 per share, as proposed by the bank, and include a settlement with the largest individual plaintiff, who represents around one-third of all claims.
Elliott Investment Management is receiving nearly €200 million ($222 million) from Deutsche Bank to resolve the long-running legal dispute, Bloomberg <a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/mergers-and-acquisitions/elliott-gets-200-million-payday-from-deutsche-bank-settlement" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>, citing people with knowledge of the matter. The report mentioned that the activist hedge fund was the largest plaintiff in the litigation over the Postbank takeover.
Deutsche Bank expects the settlement agreements reached so far to utilize around 45% of the total provisions set aside for the claims covered by these agreements.
The remaining provisions related to these plaintiffs will be released, which will have a positive impact of about €430 million on the bank&#8217;s pre-tax profit in the third quarter.
If Deutsche Bank reaches settlement agreements with additional plaintiffs, it could lead to further positive impacts on the total provisions set aside for the litigation.
In July, the bank reported first-half <a target="_blank" href="https://www.db.com/news/detail/20240724-deutsche-bank-reports-on-the-second-quarter-of-2024?language_id=1" rel="noreferrer noopener">2024</a> net revenue growth of 2% to €15.4 billion, with profit before tax at €2.4 billion-€3.8 billion excluding the Postbank litigation provision compared to €3.3 billion in the first half of 2023.
Price Action: DB shares are up 0.96% at $16.36 at the last check Friday.

What's Going On With Deutsche Bank Stock Friday?

Deutsche Bank (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/db#NYSE">DB</a>) has achieved notable progress in talks with claimants involved in the legal dispute regarding its takeover of Postbank and the compensation paid to former Postbank shareholders.&nbsp;
The bank has reached settlement agreements with more than 80 claimants, who collectively make up nearly 60% of all claims in this lawsuit. These agreements are settled upon the bank&#39;s suggested price of &euro;31 ($34.5) per share. Among the claimants who agreed to a settlement also represented about one-third of all claims.
In April 2024, Deutsche Bank said that it could face claims up to &euro;1.3 billion ($1.4 billion) in a legal battle with former Postbank shareholders about its 2010 takeover. The former Postbank shareholders argued that a higher price should have been offered.
Deutsche Bank anticipates that the settlement agreements reached so far will burn approximately 45% of the total provisions taken for the claims of plaintiffs covered by the agreements. The remaining provisions linked to these specific plaintiffs will be released. It is expected that this action will positively affect the bank&#39;s tax profit for the third quarter by nearly &euro;430 million ($478.6 million). If Deutsche Bank enters into settlement agreements with additional claimants, this could have a positive impact on the overall litigation provisions.
In sync with this news, on Apr 26, 2024, the Higher Regional Court of Cologne looked into claims from former Postbank shareholders. The court hinted that it might back some of these claims in a future decision. Deutsche Bank didn&#39;t agree with the court&#39;s view. Still, it noted that the court&#39;s comments could influence an estimation of future financial outflows. The provision of &euro;1.3 billion for litigation related to the Postbank takeover resulted in a loss in the second quarter of 2024.
Over the past six months, shares of DB have gained 17.1% on the NYSE compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 13.4%.

Currently, Deutsche Bank carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Due to the nature of its business, Deutsche Bank is involved in litigation, arbitration and regulatory proceedings in Germany and several jurisdictions outside Germany. The bank carried significant legal settlement costs in the past, which adversely impacted its financials. The recent litigation related to the acquisition of Postbank is likely to keep the expense fairly high. As a result, higher legal expenses are expected to continue putting pressure on DB&#39;s financials in the near term.
<h2>Legal Issues Faced by Other Finance Companies</h2>
In the first half of August, Piper Sandler Companies (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pipr#NYSE">PIPR</a>) announced that it has agreed to pay a total civil penalty of $16 million to U.S. regulators for record-keeping failures. To settle investigations into its record-keeping practices, PIPR will pay $14 million to the Securities and Exchange Commission (&quot;SEC&quot;) and $2 million to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (&quot;CFTC&quot;).
At the same time, Wells Fargo (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wfc#NYSE">WFC</a>) was also fined for its record-keeping lapses. The crackdown, led by the SEC and the CFTC, underlined the significance of keeping accurate records of employee communications in the financial industry. WFC had incurred the highest penalty among the firms targeted, amounting to $200 million.
