Societe Generale, or SocGen, has not been able to generate a level of profitability ahead of its cost of capital since 2006, and we do not anticipate any changes that will position the bank to outearn its cost of capital on a consistent basis. Cost-cutting can potentially improve profitability, but there is also an inflexion point where further cost-cutting will result in damage to the franchise.
SocGen has bolstered its capital materially.
Socgen has not outearned its cost of capital for the better part of a decade.
