Wall Street banks have been trying to find a solution for the beleaguered lender following last month’s collapse of two regional lenders that prompted some of the biggest U.S. banks to deposit $30 billion at First Republic.
“The potential worst-case scenario stemming from the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank appears to have been averted,” said Mark Haefele, chief investment officer at UBS Global Wealth Management in a note.
“But the problems at First Republic are a reminder that further problems remain possible.”
First Republic shares hit a record low this week after it said deposits slumped by more than $100 billion in the first quarter.
The San Francisco-based lender’s stock has more than halved so far this week. Since the start of the year, it has lost nearly 95% of its value, making it the worst performing S&P 500 stock.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is set to publish an internal review of its supervision of Silicon Valley Bank on Friday, April 28 at 11 a.m. ET (1500 GMT).
