These losses can limit the bank’s flexibility if it needs to sell bonds. The fine adds costs and questions about how long regulators will keep the order in place. The quarterly miss and 17% drop in trading revenue add signs of strain. Baird raised its rating, but that does not erase the admitted violations or weaker results.
