Survey looks at financial stresses

“Clearinghouses, Financial Stability, and Financial Reform” Ben Bernanke, Chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System In his keynote speech, Chairman Ben Bernanke discussed the important role of clearinghouses in financial stability.

The Foreign Policy Association, BritishAmerican Business, and Chatham House hosted a Global Financial Forum titled “Building a New Financial Order,” on April 26, 2010, at Citicorp Conferencing Center in lower Manhattan. The event brought together leading policymakers, regulators and financiers to discuss the future of the financial services industry, and the measures needed to avoid future crises. Governments worldwide have taken steps to relaunch economic growth and boost investment prospects. They must balance these goals against the need to regain control over public finances and promises to ensure financial stability in the future. What is necessary to create a new, more stable global financial order and how far will global cooperation extend? Will new financial regulatory rules ensure high rates of economic growth or will they hamper investment and beneficial financial innovation? To what extent is it possible to prevent future financial crises, or are crises too deeply rooted in fallible human behavior? The conference will examine the impact of the stimulus and regulatory measures enacted by governments worldwide and consider the outlook for the global economy. It will outline the likely future shape and robustness of the global financial services industry, discuss the measures necessary to restore global financial stability and debate the implications of government intervention and guarantees in ensuring future economic growth.

Discover Financial Services (NYSE:DFS) reported Q2 EPS of .09 today, easily beating the consensus estimate for {video_description}.75 per share. Revenues for the quarter grew 4.6% year-over-year to .74 billion, in-line with the consensus estimate. David Nelms, chairman and chief executive officer of Discover said, “Our all-time record results this quarter reflect the effectiveness of the Discover business model. Sustained improvements in credit performance have driven substantial releases of credit loss reserves, a portion of which has been reinvested for growth. The benefits of these investments can be seen in both our Direct Banking and Payment Services results this quarter. Our capital levels have also benefited from this outstanding performance, leading us to our recent announcement of a billion share repurchase program. While the US economy has yet to show significant strengthening, we are confident that we can continue to achieve profitable growth in all of our lending businesses, complemented by the contribution from our payments activities.” Discover Financial Services has a potential upside of 8.4% based on a current price of .59 and an average consensus analyst price target of .56.
