By Victoria Waldersee and Emma-Victoria Farr FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Porsche AG shares had a see-saw start on Thursday, after Volkswagen defied volatile markets to list the sports car brand at a valuation of 75 billion euros ($72 billion) in Germany''s second-biggest market debut. The shares closed at 82.50 euros ($80.74), returning to their issue price from the session high of 86.76 euros. Volkswagen priced Porsche AG shares the top end of the indicated range, and raised 19.5 billion euros via the listing to fund the group''s electrification drive. Cornerstone investors including Qatar Investment Authority, T. Rowe Price, Norway''s sovereign wealth fund and Abu Dhabi''s laid claim to 40% of the share offering. Some 25% plus one ordinary share went to the Porsche and Piech families via Porsche SE, Volkswagen''s largest shareholder which now has a blocking minority on the sportscar brand. The shares peaked at 86.76 in late morning. The share performance puts Porsche AG''s valuation at about 75.

Sometimes, Wall Street needs a cull. One such moment arrived seven years ago, when firms like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs faced up to the realization that trading fixed-income securities was not the money-spinner it had been in the past. Heads rolled. Now big banks are bracing for another big adjustment, as the surge in revenue created by two years of wonky markets and exuberant dealmaking comes to an end. This time the cuts are likely to be shallower, but still traumatic.

It may not occur to investors to look for blue-chip sleeper stocks, since they don’t often think of blue-chips as “sleepers.” In tough times, seasoned investors seek comfort in the stability and safety that well-established robust companies can offer. Blue-chip businesses generate consistent earnings thanks to their vast resources, resilient business models, and strong brands. In addition, such businesses boast impressive track records of delivering strong returns over the long term, including consistent and growing dividend payments. In an environment where the benchmark S&P 500 index has lost a quarter of its value year to date, the market now offers a range of undervalued blue-chip stocks. Clearly, some of these businesses have been unfairly punished by the jittery market sentiment. Put another way, the recent decline in valuations of some of the leading blue-chip stocks represents a compelling buying opportunity for patient, long-term investors. These stocks are primed to provide robust capital returns when market sentiment reverses.

It’s a bear market, and virtually all stocks are trending downward. But some are holding up better than others, and the Dow Jones Industrial Index stocks are one of the stronger groups. Through Sept. 26, the Dow Jones was down 20% for the year. That’s not great, of course. But it’s well ahead of the S&P 500 which is down 24% and the Nasdaq , which has sunk 31% over the same period. The Dow skews much more than other indexes towards so-called “old economy” stocks that are in more staid industries. That’s not always a plus, but it has served the index well in 2022 as the Dow stocks have managed to avoid the same extent of selling that we’ve seen in more growth-focused indexes. Here are seven Dow stocks to buy that will enable investors to cash in on this change in market sentiment.

DUBAI: Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), has hired banks including Citi and JPMorgan to arrange a debut issuance of multi-tranche U.S. dollar-denominated green bonds, a document showed on Tuesday. Sources told Reuters earlier this month that PIF would issue the long-planned green bonds this month or in October. BNP Paribas, Citi, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, mandated as joint global coordinators and active bookrunners, will organise investor calls starting on Tuesday. A debut issuance in tranches of five, 10 and potentially a longer-dated tenor will follow, subject to market conditions. The issuance will be under GACI First Investment Company and guaranteed by PIF. PIF has $608 billion in assets under management, according to an investor presentation seen by Reuters, not including the February transfer of a 4% stake in oil giant Aramco to the fund. “PIF is acting as the key vehicle to achieve KSA (the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) green aspirations,” the presentation said, referring to an ambitious economic reform agenda to wean the economy off oil.

It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.] There’s a lot of uncertainty in the market right now. But when I look at stocks, I see some huge opportunities . That’s exactly what uncertainty creates — opportunity. After all, historically speaking, the best times to buy stocks were during periods of peak uncertainty. This was true after the dot-com crash. It was true after the 2008 financial crisis. And it was true during the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Right now, it seems like another opportune moment where investors could make fortunes by simply abiding the acronym: B.T.F.D . If I’m right, then there are dozens of 10X — or even 20X — opportunities in the market today. But none are perhaps better than SoFi ( SOFI ) stock. In fact, over the next few years, SOFI stock can soar even more than 25X from current levels!

Key Events This Week: PCE, Durables And A Barrage Of Fed Speakers First a quick word about the week which just passed: as DB''s Jim Reid notes, " I think everyone felt they were swimming in a tsunami of newsflow last week after one of the most incredible macro weeks in recent memory in terms of breadth of events. Yes there have been more extreme weeks in crises but last week had a bit more variety and was outside of a crisis period. If over 500bps of global rate hikes wasn’t enough, you also had 2yr US yields moving higher for the 12th successive day on Friday (the longest steak since data begins in 1976), the BoJ intervening in FX markets for the first time since 1998, and what can only be termed as one of the darker days for sterling assets on record on Friday after a mammoth tax giveaway in what was a mini-budget in name and not by nature." With that in mind, let''s go over the key event overnight, where the right-wing alliance led by Giorgia Meloni''s Brothers of Italy party was set to become the nation’s first woman prime minister after exit polls gave it a clear majority.

Barclays Requiring Investment Bankers To Return To Office "At Least" Four Days A Week Barclays has been the latest investment bank falling in line with the others and requiring its investment bankers, who have been working from home since the pandemic, to return to the office for "at least" four days a week. The bank has been telling its employees that "worsening market conditions mean a greater need for in-person collaboration," Bloomberg reported this week . The company is implementing the new policy effective October 3. It''ll expect that its principle dealmakers are in the office from Monday through Thursday, according to a memo sent to staff and reviewed by Bloomberg. The memo, written by the Investment Banking Management Team, says: “This approach will provide for all of us a more optimal environment in which we can collaborate on compelling client pitches and execution of live deals.” The memo stresses that the move is crucial in “tougher market environments like the current part of the cycle where proactive engagement and thought-provoking content is most important for our clients.” The bank hasn''t completely given up on its hybrid model, however.

Senior associates and vice presidents in Goldman''s tech, media, and telecommunications team were handed pink slips in a further sign of strain on a Wall Street apparatus that is hamstrung by depressed dealflow, and suffering from a slowing economy and stubbornly high inflation. The cuts come after Goldman''s investment bank logged a 41% dip in year-over-year revenues in July. Denis Coleman, the bank''s chief financial officer, also reintroduced Goldman''s dreaded annual performance review , a process that helps the bank weed out underperforming individuals who are likely to be let go.

Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS ) is reducing its valuation projection for the S&P 500 as rising interest rates signal bad times for stock prices. Investors are reacting by shunning most asset classes and going into cash as a way to weather the storm. ‘A hard landing scenario is inevitable’: Goldman Sachs Chief U.S. Equity Strategist David J. Kostin posted a target valuation for the index at 3600 by the end of the year, maintaining that valuation in six months, and reaching 4000 within one year. The index got closer to its 2022 lows this week, with fears of recession becoming more substantiated. The Dow Jones also marked its lowest level of the year on Friday, with other major indexes showing losses as well.

Call it banking-as-a-service. The rise in deals done by private equity firms, accounting for $553 billion of M&A so far in 2022, per Refinitiv, generates lucrative fees for investment banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley . But that isn’t just from one deal. The nature of the buyout business means there are asset flips, equity offerings, follow-ons, and recapitalizations that all generate recurring fees. That depends on healthy capital markets, but amid debt-market snafus and falling equity values, this could be another subscription-like business wounded by the downturn.

Hi. Aaron Weinman here. Performance reviews are back. Hiring has slowed. And Wall Street''s most influential chief executives from Goldman Sachs'' David Solomon to JPMorgan''s Jamie Dimon are ready to cull under-performing staff. It''s a shift from this time last year, when junior bankers scored significant pay bumps, dealmaking reached record-breaking highs, and investment bankers prepared themselves for some of the chunkiest bonuses they''d ever received. Per this story from Bloomberg, however, the layoffs should not be as severe as what Wall Street experienced after market crashes in 1987 and 2008. According to insiders, most of the cuts should be limited to underperformers in investment banking, who are really feeling the pinch of weak deal flow in equity capital markets and advisory services. As Insider has previously reported , mortgage-lending units are also exposed to job cuts. Before we get into that, however, it''s also time for our Banker of the Week !

The New York-based lender expects initial public offerings in India to pick up next year as well as inbound deals in renewable energy and infrastructure, he said.The world’s second-most populous country is gaining traction among Wall Street dealmakers in part as growing political tension casts a pall over major plans to expand in China and as tensions mount in Europe and the US. India’s main stock gauge has gained this year, in contrast to mostly steep declines seen in major global markets. The nation saw a record $82 billion in merger and acquisition deals in the second quarter, defying a slump elsewhere.“India looks very steady and it has a government that seems to know exactly what they have to do,” Falco said. “The political situation in other parts of the world, and that includes Europe and probably the US and China, is a bit different I would say.”After two years of expansion in China, global banks are now facing stronger headwinds as economic growth slows and political tension with the US has dented dealmaking.

As the rich get richer, former trade minister John Battle has a sense of deja vu about Liz Truss’s economic policies In 2011, the economist Branko Milanovic pointed out that the employee bonuses paid out by the investment bank Goldman Sachs in 2009 (the “credit crunch” days) were equal to the combined earnings of the world’s 224 million poorest people. The response of the coalition was the austerity years. As the number of “ultra high net worth” people rises to a new record ( Number of global ultra high net worth individuals hits record high, 20 September ), it is with an appalling sense of deja vu that I envisage a Liz Truss government squeezing already damaged public services in a vain attempt to run away from “redistribution”.

The Federal Reserve served up a widely expected third consecutive jumbo rate hike when it concluded its regularly scheduled two-day meeting on Wednesday.

SEE MORE 16 Dividend Kings for Decades of Dividend Growth Although the move matched consensus expectations, a significant portion of the bond market – and plenty of traders and tacticians, for that matter – were bracing for a whopping 100 bp rate hike. Uncertainty over just how hawkish the Fed would reveal itself to be has cast a pall on equities over the preceding weeks, and so a rate hike of "only" three-quarters of a percentage point was actually met with some relief. Stocks sold off sharply when the Fed released its statement at 2 p.m. Eastern, but then drifted back into positive territory during Powell''s press conference, which began a half-hour later.

European markets are primed for the hotly anticipated Porsche initial public offering following news that Volkswagen is targeting a €75bn valuation upon its debut. Landing on the Frankfurt stock exchange on the 29th September, the stock’s flotation is set to be a major test for a continent that’s struggled in the wake of record-breaking inflation and the outbreak of war between Russia and Ukraine. With the likes of Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, JP Morgan and other leading financial institutions backing Porsche, the company’s debut is certain to be closely scrutinized throughout Europe for indications of new investor confidence. Despite widespread market volatility, Porsche’s push to go public coincides with its parent company, Volkswagen Group’s mounting ambitions to expand into the electric vehicle space. Following on from the successful launch of its ID.4 EV and Porsche Taycan models, an IPO is likely to be an excellent opportunity to secure funding to grow the production of more EVs. ( Image: Statista ) With Porsche’s revenue almost tripling in the space of 10 years - in spite of the pandemic conditions of 2020 and 2021 - the prospect of a listing for a company earning in excess of EUR 30 billion is likely to be tantalizing for many investors. “Porsche’s IPO could be one of the most interesting offerings ever,” said Maxim Manturov, head of investment advice at Freedom Finance Europe. “Unofficial information suggests that Porsche has already attracted the attention of investors and received pre-orders at valuations ranging from €60bn to €85bn.
