Deutsche Bank Cutting 18,000 jobs!!!!

I hop on Linkedin this morning to see

Following “years of decline,” Deutsche Bank says it’s closing its equities business, as well as cutting 18,000 global jobs by 2022. In its attempt to restructure and boost profitability, the German lender announced that it would lose roughly $3.1 billion in the second quarter, with its restructuring plan costing close to $8.3 billion by the end of 2022. Deutsche Bank has been rocked by investigations and fines stemming from the financial crisis and other issues in recent years

I’ve seen a lot of bearish takes.

Cutting businesses that have synergies. Can no longer be a full service bank and will lose customers due to this.

Balance sheet is a mess and the restructuring charges will wipe out a ton of their capital.

It sounds to me at the end of this what’s even left of db will be sold off in pieces.

Also disorderly wind down of some assets so more losses there.

My guess this ends up being the first step in a full windown. Db name will go down with Lehman and bear but slowly.
