First Republic Bank tumbles after S&P Global Ratings and Fitch downgrades

7:09 PM 15 March 2023

First Republic Bank (FRC.US) stock cratered 23% as turmoil surrounding Credit Suisse rattled the broader banking sector, especially smaller banks. Also the bank's credit rating was downgraded by two  major rating agencies. S&P Global Ratings downgraded its debt rating to BB+ from A- amid worries that depositors could withdraw their funds despite the federal intervention.

 At the same time Fitch downgraded the regional bank to "BB" from "A-", as funding and liquidity profile has changed and represents a "weakest link" relative to other rating factors.

First Republic Bank (FRC.US) stock price fell sharply following the downgrades and erased a large chunk of yesterday's gains. Nevertheless as long as price sits above the recent all-time low at $8.40, then another upward impulse may be launched. Source: xStation5
