Why Is Credit Suisse (CS) Stock Down 24% Today?

Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS) stock is taking a beating on Wednesday after Saudi National Bank said it will no longer financially help the company.

According to Saudi National Bank, it will be unable to help Credit Suisse due to regulatory issues. The company notes that doing so would put its holdings in the bank above 10%. Currently, it has a 9.9% stake in CS.

While this might worry some investors, Saudi National Bank doesn’t see a cause for concern. The firm is satisfied with the company’s transformation plan and doesn’t believe it will need any additional funding.

Axel Lehmann, chairman of Credit Suisse, echoed the sentiment when speaking to CNBC. He told the publication that the company has “strong capital ratios,” and a “very strong balance sheet.”
