The US District Judge, Victor Marrero, has ordered the plaintiff, Dodona I LLC, to pursue the proceedings over its claims against Goldman relating to the $2 billion offering of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). Established in 2007, hedge fund Dodona filed a lawsuit against Goldman in the federal court in New York over Hudson Mezzanine Funding 2006-1 and 2006-2 CDOs. The securities offered to the investors, were residential mortgage-backed securities. CDOs typically repackage bonds and other assets into new securities.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, the federal judge in Manhattan ordered Bank of America Corporation (BAC) to deal with a shareholders’ class-action lawsuit. The lawsuit accused BofA along with some of its senior managers and directors of misleading investors about the takeover of Merrill Lynch &#38; Co. as well as the amount of Merrill&#8217;s losses and bonus payouts in 2008. The shareholders of BofA filed a lawsuit against the company in federal court in Manhattan in 2009. They claimed that it has concealed information about bonuses to Merrill employees and also kept secret the financial losses suffered in the fourth quarter of 2008. The complaint lodged claims that BofA deceptively misrepresented the facts by providing materially misleading statements.

		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, DZ Bank AG (DZBK), Germany’s largest co-operative lender, filed a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase &#38; Co. (JPM) and HSBC Holdings Plc (HBC) for breaching representations and warranties. The complaint lodged claims that both companies have misrepresented documents related to the sale of over $85 million and $122 million, respectively, in residential mortgage-backed securities. DZ Bank alleged that JPMorgan and HSBC issued misleading statements with omissions related to the mortgage-backed securities and has concealed risks associated with these securities. The company claims that the documents used for offering the securities contained untrue statements or omissions about how risky the investments might be. Misinterpretation of these risks provoked investments, which have virtually no value at current levels. DZ Bank has filed lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court in ]]></description>

Let’s take a deeper look at the players in each segment and see if we can’t come to a consensus as to whether or not a rally can be supported.

Investment Banks The capital markets have been weak, especially with the “IPO window” getting slammed shut around the time that Groupon was looking to make its public offering. Goldman Sachs (GS) beat on the bottom line but missed on the top line and saw revenues decline 30% year over year. The beat was the result of significant cost cutting. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 10/14/11 While the earnings season kicked off this past week, only 38 firms reported. The game really gets under way next week, when we will get reports from 336 firms, including 99 members of the S&#38;P 500. Thus, by the end of the week we will have a very good idea of how the overall season will go. Not only will there be a lot of reports, but many of those we get will be very important ones. The table at the end of this report reads like a who’s who of American industry, including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), General Electric (GE), Goldman Sachs (GS), IBM (IBM), Intel (INTC) and McDonald’s (MCD). And that&#8217;s just the first half of the alphabet! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, Citigroup Inc. (C) was sued by the German lender IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG. The complaint lodged claims that Citi misrepresented documents as an underwriter in the sale of over $4.2 million in residential mortgage-backed securities. According to Dusseldorf-based IKB, Citi issued misleading statements and omissions related to the mortgage-backed securities and breached the contract. IKB has filed lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan. The company demands for unspecified damages and cancellation of the sale of securities. Earlier in September, IKB also sued JPMorgan Chase &#38; Co. (JPM) for the sale and breach of contract over the sale of mortgage-backed securities by misrepresenting documents. In August, Citi’s closest peer, The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) also faced a number of lawsuits related to mortgage-backed securities. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 7/15/11 Second quarter earnings season is now under way, but things really start to move into high gear next week. There will be 348 firms reporting, and 108 of those are in the S&#38;P 500. By next Friday we should have a very good handle on how the overall earnings season will go. The firms reporting this week are sort of like a who&#8217;s who of U.S. industry including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Caterpillar (CAT), General Electric (GE), International Business Machines (IBM), Intel (INTC), McDonald&#8217;s (MCD), Schlumberger (SLB) and Verizon (VZ). That is an interesting cross section of U.S. business. We have a relatively light economic data calendar, so earnings should be front and center, along with the sovereign debt situations on both ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fitch Ratings has affirmed M&#38;T Bank Corp.&#8216;s (MTB) long- and short-term Issuer Default Ratings at &#8216;A-&#8217; and &#8216;F1,&#8217; respectively. The rating action follows the closure of M&#38;T&#8217;s acquisition of Wilmington Trust Corp. on May 16, 2011. The rating outlook remains Negative. The proposed corporate restructuring of M&#38;T announced on June 30, 2011 led to the rating affirmation. M&#38;T’s recently accomplished the purchase of Wilmington Trust backed by capital raises. According to the rating agency, the capital infusion should help overall capital levels to be consistent with those that M&#38;T had at the end of third quarter 2010 (tangible equity to tangible asset ratio of 5.96% and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 9.45%). Yet, M&#38;T’s capital ratios are still at the lower range of the rating agency’s rated peer group. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have reiterated our Neutral recommendation on the shares of M&#38;T Bank Corporation (MTB) on the back of a detailed analysis of its fundamentals, the completion of the of the acquisition of Wilmington Trust Corporation in May, the subsequent partial repay of the TARP dues and the current economic environment. M&#38;T’s first quarter operating earnings of $1.67 per share exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.41. Earnings significantly expanded from $1.23 earned in the prior-year quarter, aided by an increase in the net interest income on the back of net interest margin expansion coupled with substantially lower provision for credit losses. Going forward, we believe that the strategic acquisitions should help to augment earnings. The acquisitions of Provident and Bradford in the Mid-Atlantic region have proved to be meaningful, both in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Federal Reserve requires more banks to submit their capital plans annually to prove their financial ability to confront another recession. The Federal Reserve will also hold the right to ban capital deployment activities of unsuccessful banks. This is part of Federal Reserve’s effort to closely monitor capital ratios of banks and identify systematic risk in advance in order to avoid recurrence of the latest federal bailout program. According to a proposal on Friday, the Federal Reserve said that it will extend its existing list of 19 big banks that are subject to the capital assessment scheme to 35. The Fed expects the proposal to be finalized later this year and the capital review for these banks will be compulsory by 2012. According to the ruling by the Federal Reserve, ]]></description>

On a GAAP basis, M&#38;T Bank reported a net income of $206 million or $1.59 per share, up from net income of $151 million or $1.15 per share in the prior-year quarter. M&#38;T Bank’s net interest income came in at $575 million, up 2% year over year. The growth stems from a 14 basis point expansion in the net interest margin, which improved to 3.92% from 3.78% in the year-earlier quarter. However, the growth ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Comerica Incorporated (CMA) reported first quarter 2011 net income of 57 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 48 cents and improving from the prior-quarter figure of 53 cents. However, earnings saw a striking year-over-year improvement from a loss of 46 cents. The year-over-year improvement in the results reflected the increase in non-interest income and net interest margin, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses and lower net interest income. Furthermore, a significant improvement in credit quality also acted as a positive catalyst. Net income attributed to common shareholders of Comerica totaled $102 million compared with a net loss of $71 million in the first quarter of 2010 and net income of $95 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Performance in Detail Total revenue in the quarter was ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[M&#38;T Bank Corporation’s (MTB) long-term and short-term issuer default ratings (IDRs) were affirmed by Fitch Ratings at “A-” and “F1,” respectively. However, the rating outlook remains “Negative.” The rating affirmation follows M&#38;T’s announcement of agreeing to buy Wilmington Trust Corporation (WL) in a stock-for-stock transaction valued at around $351 million. According to Fitch, the combined entity’s ratings would not be impacted because of this transaction. In fact, Fitch believes that this acquisition would benefit M&#38;T as the purchase price is a favorable one. Also, with the overlap of the two companies’ footprint and the possibility of an increase in fee-based revenue, the deal seems encouraging for M&#38;T. The deal, expected to close by mid-2011, would add 48 branch locations in Delaware and 225 ATMs to M&#38;T Bank’s network and result ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an effort to generate sufficient capital, Allied Irish Banks plc (AIB) announced yesterday that it would sell its 22.4% shareholding in M&#38;T Bank Corporation (MTB). The sale involves a public offering of 26.7 million notes that are exchangeable for the shares of common stock of M&#38;T currently owned by it. The deal is subject to the approval of the shareholders of Allied Irish. The M&#38;T stake was acquired by Allied Irish in 2003 when it sold Allfirst Bank to M&#38;T. Morgan Stanley (MS) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., an arm of Citigroup Inc. (C), are acting as underwriters and joint bookrunning managers for the offering. The financial crisis took its toll on Allied Irish Bank and the government came to its rescue. On September 30, 2010, the Irish government ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The M&#38;T Bank (MTB) and Banco Santander SA (STD) deal has stalled again, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The deal is said to be dead since the companies failed to reach a consensus on who will control the merged entity. The deal has been a matter of discussion for several months. Santander sought to merge Sovereign Bank, its U.S. unit, with M&#38;T Bank, buy Allied Irish Banks plc.’s (AIB) 22.5% stake in M&#38;T and take over the control of the merged entity while M&#38;T Bank intended to merge itself with Sovereign but retain its control. The deal therefore needed a compromise. The M&#38;T Bank regulators are said to be unenthusiastic about the deal as they fear that the merger with Sovereign would undermine the company’s operational efficiencies. While ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Activity on the deal-making front failed to send stocks higher on the first day of a new week as investors booked gains after Friday’s solid advance. With no economic data in sight, the selling intensified in the final hour of trading, sending the Dow industrials off 48 points and taking broader averages modestly lower. The 30-share Dow average closed at 10812.04, off 0.4%. The broader S&#38;P 500 index fell 0.6% to 1142.16 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index dropped nearly 12 points, or 0.5%, to 2369.77. On the New York Stock Exchange, about 920 million shares exchanged hands as falling stocks beat those that advanced in price by a four-to-three margin. In a sign that confidence was slowly returning to the market, retailing giant Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) announced that it was ]]></description>

The report also said that the banks are in consultation, though informally, with the Federal Reserve for sketching a deal. They expect to hear from Federal Reserve by the end of this month. Both M&#38;T Bank and Santander have been discussing the deal for several months. Santander seeks to merge Sovereign Bank, its U.S. unit, with M&#38;T Bank and take over the control of the entity while M&#38;T Bank intends to merge itself with Sovereign but retain its control.

		<description><![CDATA[Banco Santander SA (STD) is on an acquisition spree. The company is intending to acquire a stake in Bank Zachodni WBK, a Polish Bank. In fact, Santander is planning to buy three overseas businesses from Allied Irish Banks (AIB), according to a report in the Financial Times. As part of the restructuring efforts following the bailout, Allied Irish Bank needs to sell its 70% stake in Bank Zachodni WBK; a minority stake in M&#38;T Bank (MTB), a regional US bank; and a number of branches in the UK. The Zachodni stake acquisition would help Santander to possess a bank in an emerging market. Nevertheless, PKO Bank Polski S.A. &#8212; Poland’s largest bank &#8212; and BNP Paribas SA (BNPQY) are said to be giving Santander a run for its money in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spain’s Banco Santander SA (STD) is on an acquisition spree. According to a report in Financial Times, the company has a number of acquisitions lined up in both the U.S. and the U.K. The Spanish banking giant is set to acquire 318 branches from the Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (RBS) in the U.K. Additionally, the company is also planning to buy $4.3 billion of car loans from HSBC plc (HBC) in the U.S. Santander is also rumored to be in talks with M&#38;T Bank (MTB) to sign a deal for merging their U.S. operations. The financial crisis was a blessing in disguise for Santander, which has been busy acquiring assets for a cheaper price over the past two years. The company has added several businesses in the Continent ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[M&#38;T Bank’s (MTB) first quarter earnings of $1.23 per share left behind the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 97 cents per share. Earnings more than doubled from 59 cents per share earned in the prior-year quarter, aided by an expansion in net interest margin coupled with lower credit costs. Net interest income (NII) came in at $562 million, up 24% year-over-year. The growth in NII was primarily due to a 59 basis-point expansion in the net interest margin, which improved to 3.78% from 3.19%. This improvement, which is steady from the past several quarters, was attributed to a higher level of average earning asset, coupled with lower rates paid on deposits and borrowings, and continued inflow of non-interest-bearing deposits. Non-interest income increased 11.2% year-over-year to $258 million. The uptick was due ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier today, M&#38;T Bank Corporation (MTB) reported earnings of $1.04 per share in the fourth quarter of 2009. Excluding a series of special items in the quarter, the company earned 83 cents per share. The results were well short of the Zacks Consensus estimate of 89 cents. Taxable-equivalent net interest income came in at $565 million, up 15% year over year and up 2% sequentially. The sequential growth in such income was primarily due to a widening in the net interest margin, which improved to 3.71% from 3.61%. This improvement was attributed to lower interest rates paid on deposits and borrowings and continued growth in non-interest-bearing deposits. Management stated that it continues to provide lending and banking services in local markets, which led to the increase in net income. Credit ]]></description>

Excluding a series of special items in the quarter, the company earned 89 cents per share. The results were well ahead of the Zacks Consensus estimate of 68 cents. The company had earned 82 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. While acquisitions and improvements in interest margin have contributed to the upside, we note that the credit quality still remains a matter of concern. Taxable-equivalent net interest income totaled $553 million, up 12% year-over-year. Results reflected improvements in the net interest margin. Net interest margin improved 22 basis points year-over-year to 3.61%, which resulted from lower interest rates paid on deposits and long-term borrowings. Results also included impact of the earning assets obtained in the ]]></description>
