Legal Difficulties Weigh on Major Banks' Recovery
The Bedford Report Provides Equity Research on Citigroup & Wells Fargo
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 09/05/11 -- The number of expensive lawsuits against US Major Banks has continued to grow this summer. While banks have begun posting improved revenues in recent quarters, lawsuits have been shrinking the sector's bottom line. The Bedford Report examines the outlook for companies in the Financial Sector and provides equity research on Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE: C) and Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC). Access to the full company reports can be found at:
Last Friday a US regulator sued 17 major banks over losses on more than $41 billion in subprime mortgage bonds, which could hamper a broader government mortgage settlement with banks.
The FHFA has been demanding refunds from banks for loans sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that were based on false or missing information about borrowers and properties. The two government-backed mortgage finance firms had to be rescued by taxpayers as defaults on home loans soared toward record levels.

Citigroup was one of the 17 banks named in the FHFA lawsuit. In the filings, the agency says that Fannie and Freddie bought $3.5 billion in securities from Citigroup.
While Wells Fargo was not named in the FHFA filing, the bank remains tied up in other legal cases. Currently Wells Fargo, the city of Memphis and Shelby County have begun talks in hopes of resolving a lawsuit the city and county filed against the company's local lending practices.
