Catch up on the weekend's top five stories with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. UBS (UBS) said it plans to acquire Credit Suisse (CS). The combination is expected to create a business with more than $5 trillion in total invested assets and sustainable value opportunities, the bank said in a statement. The discussions were initiated jointly by the Swiss Federal Department of Finance, FINMA and the Swiss National Bank and the acquisition has their full support. Under the terms of the all-share transaction, Credit Suisse shareholders will receive 1 UBS share for every 22.48 Credit Suisse shares held, equivalent to CHF 0.76 per share for a total consideration of CHF 3B. UBS said it benefits from CHF 25B of downside protection from the transaction to support marks, purchase price adjustments and restructuring costs, and additional 50% downside protection on non-core assets. 2. U.S. policy makers warily watched the rushed rescue of Credit Suisse over the weekend, hoping that its purchase by UBS would stem a slide in financial stocks triggered by the recent collapse of two regional banks, The Wall Street Journal's David Benoit and Andrew Ackerman report. Late Sunday, the Fed and five major central banks announced a coordinated effort to improve liquidity by moving U.S. dollars among themselves each day, starting Monday, instead of once a week. As jittery markets prepare to open Monday, U.S. officials' main concern is First Republic Bank (FRC), which required rescue funding last week from a group of the nation's biggest banks, the authors note. 3. The U.S. banking system looks to have skirted a full-blown crisis in the past two weeks after the worst scare since 2008-09, thanks to regulators' moves to effectively back deposits and provide loans to the nation's banks, Andrew Bary writes in this week's edition of Barron's. Other potential winners, in addition to JPMorgan (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC), include Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS), which are structured as banks but have attractive franchises and do relatively little traditional banking, the author notes. The six biggest banks, which also include Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C), carry dividend yields of 3% to 4.5%, which are safe. The stocks generally trade for 10 times 2023 earnings, or less. The even-higher dividend yields on regional banks also appear secure. 4. Warner Bros. (WBD) "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" opened to a dismal $30.5M domestically from 4,071 locations, making it the worst debut for a title in the DC Cinematic Universe. Overseas, the movie earned $35M for a worldwide cume of $65.5M. "Shazam 2" has a 54% Rotten Tomatoes score and a B+ CinemaScore. 5. Flutter Entertainment (PDYPY), Darden (DRI), and Newmont (NEM) saw positive mentions in this week's edition of Barron's.
