Successful Deutsche cash call adds to capital scrutiny

The German bank's €2.96bn capital raising has been received well by eager investors – but the multibillion euro figure may not be enough to keep analysts happy

Demand from asset managers for yesterday’s surprise capital raising from Deutsche Bank was so high that the bank’s equity capital markets team managed to sell €2.96bn of stock without offering a discount – but analysts were not so impressed.

The deal priced at €32.90, the same price at which Deutsche Bank's stock closed at the end of Monday trading. Normally, a firm will offer a slight discount to trading in order to entice investors.
