(Reuters) – De aandelen van First Republic Bank daalden donderdag met 17% tijdens uitgebreide handel, ondanks een ongekende steunbetuiging aan de bank van bijna een dozijn van 's werelds grootste financiële instellingen.

In een ongebruikelijke redding die volgens verschillende bronnen eerder deze week werd georkestreerd door JPMorgan Chase & Co Chief Executive Jamie Dimon samen met minister van Financiën Janet Yellen en Federal Reserve-voorzitter Jerome Powell, zeiden 11 Wall Street-bedrijven dat ze $ 30 miljard in First Republic storten.

De opluchting van beleggers was echter van korte duur. De aandelen van de bank, die 10% hoger waren gesloten na een volatiele dag waarop de handel 17 keer stil lag, zakten in de aftermarket-handel. Het volume bedroeg 15,6 miljoen aandelen in de post-market-sessie.

De omkering kwam nadat First Republic in een aanvraag had gezegd dat het zijn dividend opschortte. Het zei ook dat het een kaspositie had van ongeveer $ 34 miljard, exclusief de $ 30 miljard aan nieuwe deposito's.

Het bedrijf zei ook dat het tussen 10 maart en 15 maart tot $ 109 miljard van de Fed had geleend, en op 9 maart nog eens $ 10 miljard van de Federal Home Loan Bank.

De ommekeer in de aandelen van First Republic na de reddingsovereenkomst van de grootste Amerikaanse banken onderstreept de omvang van de kriebels op de wereldmarkten, die in gang werden gezet toen twee regionale banken failliet gingen. Afzonderlijke pogingen eerder deze week door Amerikaanse en Europese regelgevers om beleggers te kalmeren door middel van noodmaatregelen om het vertrouwen in de bankensector te versterken, zijn niet doorgegaan.

Jason Ware, chief investment officer van Albion Financial Group, zei dat de door Dimon geleide interventie in de banksector op donderdag een "schot in de arm voor het systeem" was, maar dat er waarschijnlijk meer nodig was. "Het is niet groot genoeg," zei Ware.

Ware voegde eraan toe dat het ook in de hoofden van investeerders tot uiting kwam dat er diepere problemen waren bij First Republic.

REDDINGPAKKET

First Republic, opgericht in 1985, had volgens het jaarverslag eind vorig jaar 212 miljard dollar aan activa en 176,4 miljard dollar aan deposito's.

Ongeveer 70% van de deposito's is onverzekerd, meer dan de mediaan van 55% voor middelgrote banken en de op twee na hoogste in de groep na Silicon Valley Bank en Signature Bank, volgens een notitie van de Bank of America.

De aandelen van de bank zijn de afgelopen dagen hard geraakt in de nasleep van de ineenstorting van Silicon Valley Bank.

Naarmate de situatie verslechterde, besprak Dimon eerder deze week het idee van een reddingspakket met Yellen en Powell, aldus twee bronnen die bekend zijn met de zaak.

De CEO van Citigroup Inc, Jane Fraser, nam ook contact op met grote banken om hen te rekruteren voor de reddingsactie, zeiden twee andere bronnen die bekend zijn met de zaak.

Een centrale speler in de deal was Rodgin Cohen, een ervaren advocaat bij Sullivan & Cromwell, aldus twee van de bronnen die bekend zijn met de zaak. Sullivan & Cromwell reageerde niet onmiddellijk op een verzoek om commentaar.

Bij de redding deden grote geldschieters zoals JPMorgan, Bank of America Corp Citigroup en Wells Fargo & Co onverzekerde stortingen van elk $ 5 miljard in First Republic.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc, Morgan Stanley stemde er ook mee in om elk $ 2,5 miljard in te pompen. Andere geldschieters, waaronder BNY Mellon, PNC Financial Services Group, State Street Corp, Truist Financial Corp en U.S. Bancorp, hebben $ 1 miljard aan deposito's gesluisd naar de in San Francisco gevestigde geldschieter.

De banken zullen de gelden bij First Republic aanhouden voor een initiële looptijd van minimaal 120 dagen.

"Amerika profiteert van een gezond en functionerend financieel systeem, en banken van elke omvang zijn van cruciaal belang voor onze economie", zei Citigroup in een verklaring, waarmee hij het belang van middelgrote en gemeenschapsbanken onderstreepte.

"Deze steunbetuiging door een groep grote banken is zeer welkom en toont de veerkracht van het banksysteem", zeiden toezichthouders kort na de aankondiging in een gezamenlijke verklaring.

Powell zei dat de Fed altijd klaar stond om liquiditeit te verschaffen via haar kortingsvenster.
