The crash of the SVB Financial Group in the U.S. and the crisis at Swiss bank Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS) have shaken the stocks of banks all over the world. UK-based Lloyds Banking Group (GB:LLOY), Barclays (GB:BARC), and HSBC Holdings (GB:HSBA) are no exceptions to that.

These British banks are currently trading in the red zone as investors’ panic led to a setback in the financial markets. Even though the Bank of England has assured investors of a sound banking system in the country, it is currently weighing the decision to make a further rate hike this week.

The UK banks recovered a little after Credit Suisse accepted a $54 billion loan offer from the Swiss National Bank last week. The markets are expected to open on a positive note this week as UBS Group (NYSE:UBS) has agreed to buy Credit Suisse in a $3.2 billion deal, which is welcomed by governments globally.

Analysts feel the UK banks are in a better position as compared to their competitors due to “tougher regulations.”

A month ago, these banks reported higher earnings in their 2022 annual results. All three, Barclays, HSBC, and Lloyds, posted huge profits but at the same time posted an uncertain outlook over margin pressures. However, the long-term outlook for these stocks remains positive.

Let’s see what the analysts’ views are on these banks.

"I didn't say 60p by xd, did I? - I don't make stupid statements like that."
I never did say that you said that and you know it. There you go again twisting and manipulating what others have said looking for another pointless argument.

And what has become of Scargill?

No, only manual transmission.

When Nige is PM, Brixton will be his Chancellor of the Exchequer.

"don't hold your breath - 60p is by far more likely"
I would say 60p by ex dividend is as unlikely as 23p is.

Boris Johnson has admitted to the Parliamentary Select Committee that he misled Parliament over partygate but said it was not intentional! Yeah right! lol

UK Bank stocks have taken large drops right across the board as the fallout from the Credit
Suisse and SVB bank situation continues to rattle investors, but for those with their eyes
on the long-term prize, the short-term movement could easily offer some great entries.
However, a word of caution, bank stocks are in the eye of the storm at the moment and
will indeed see further volatility in the near term. That all being said long-term value looks
appealing.
The key to trying to make an entry into these stocks lies in waiting to see the moves calm
down and floors become established on the charts. In this report, we look at the major UK
bank stocks, how far they’ve fallen and what the opportunity is.

"Can't see why other boards are so dead compared."
Because you are here on this board and not on the others! So how about you move to one of them to liven them up, I'm sure whichever one you choose the board members there would appreciate it. Not half as much as we would though!

I would not like to give an opinion on that given the prevailing headwinds and uncertainty with domestic and global issues. But a very very rough ballpark figure, between 40p and 60p. There are some that think it will be below 40p and there are some that think it will be above 60p.

Yes so far it is £8.73 million.
