I'd love to find a reason to recommend Barclays stock, but I struggle to find any at this price. The stock pulled back to 224p on Monday after surging to 231p in the wake of the ECB's announcement. It has recouped only about 3% of the value it had lost on the day Dark Pool allegations emerged. Time and again, I have pointed out that several risks weigh on the bank's valuation, such as: litigation risk, reputation risk, execution risk, dilution risk and so forth. Admittedly, Barclays is shedding assets that don't make their cost of equity, but as it shrinks, it must be quicker to cut its workforce around the globe. More assets must be sold. A reshuffle in the management team would be good news, too. Only then, Barclays stock may comfortably trade above 260p.
