2015 Share Price Performance of Europe’s Biggest Banks

SNL Financial share price data shows that it was a mixed year for Europe’s biggest lenders, with Standard Chartered and Banco Santander falling more than 30% but Sberbank rising more than 85% and Intesa Sanpaolo up more than a quarter.

SNL Financial share price data for 2015 for 25 of Europe’s biggest banks shows that it was a mixed year for the continent’s lending behemoths.

Fifteen of the 25 banks in SNL’s sample finished down for the year, led by a 35.14% fall at Standard Chartered Plc. The U.K.-based, Asia-focused bank during the year named a new CEO, Bill Winters, and announced a capital increase alongside plans to cut 15,000 jobs.

Banco Santander SA finished down 30.55% for 2015 and touched a fresh 52-week low Jan. 4. Santander raised €7.5 billion in early January 2015, saying at the same time that it would cut its dividend by two-thirds and eliminate the scrip option on three of the four quarterly payments.

Among the 10 large banks to finish in the black for the year, PAO Sberbank of Russia was the runaway leader; its shares were up nearly 86%. Intesa Sanpaolo SpA closed up more than 30%, and Société Générale SA was up 25%.
