Yesterday’s blow came after the US industrial conglomerate’s newly appointed chair and CEO, Larry Culp, said during a CNBC interview that he feels “urgency” to lower debt and would do that by selling assets. Also, its free cash flows were negative in all three quarters of 2018, which indicates the company’s severe liquidity problem.

Barclays Fares Worst in Europe Bank Stress Tests
The British banks fared worse than German lenders such as Deutsche Bank AG and counterparts in Italy, which are grappling with a slump in the nation’s bonds amid turmoil sparked by its populist government. The stress test from the European Banking Authority, which has no pass or fail grade, assumes a scenario with shocks such as years of negative economic growth, weak bank profitability and a rise in government bond yields, amid Brexit-related uncertainty. The result may be a setback for Barclays Chief Executive Officer Jes Staley’s plans to boost returns for shareholders, according to Michael Huenseler, who helps oversee about 22 billion euros at Assenagon Asset Management.

[$$] Barclays’ new chairman should avoid repeating history
, who was named this week as the chairman designate of Barclays, will be taking over a bank that has been wrestling with its soul for over 30 years. The crucial change of mission came in 1983 when the old Quaker bank decided to take advantage of the looming Big Bang, which would in 1986 deregulate the UK’s financial services industry. The lender decided to add a full-scale investment bank to its traditional retail banking business, a move that has defined Barclays’ history ever since.

[$$] Barclays, Lloyds Fare Poorly in EU's Bank Stress Tests
PLC unexpectedly posted the worst results in a stress test of European banks Friday, with a key capital measure dropping close to what investors consider the bare minimum needed to withstand a hypothetical economic crash. The results will amplify investor attention on another round of tests by the Bank of England in December and come as British and European banks attempt to plan for the potential impact of Brexit even as the terms of Britain’s separation from the European Union remain unclear. The capital measure in question, called the common equity tier 1 ratio, dropped as low as 6% at Barclays during the 2018-20 period covered by the test, which featured an adverse scenario that included double-digit unemployment and falling asset prices over the three years.

Britain's Barclays, Lloyds shock in EU bank stress test
Britain's Barclays (BARC.L) and Lloyds (LLOY.L) were the surprise laggards in a European Union bank health check on Friday, although none of the 48 lenders tested failed a major capital threshold. The EU's banking watchdog published results on Friday for its toughest "stress test" since 2009, when it began the exercise to identify capital holes and avoid any repeat of the government bailouts triggered by the 2008 financial crisis. The latest test measured banks' ability to withstand theoretical market shocks like a rise in political uncertainty against a backdrop of plunging economic growth, a disorderly Brexit or a sell-off in government bonds and property.
