Credit Suisse had a 14% CET1 ratio, higher than JPMorgan. The stock price was depressed because it wasn't turning a profit but it was nowhere near a level of losses where it would be a concern from a creditor point of view.


There were a series of news before investors started panicking, it’s not like people randomly decided to dump the stock without any reason.

Yeah. No restatement to the numbers already published. Doesn't look good but should hardly move the stock price, let alone the credit worthyness (two distinct things).
