Investing.com -- Stocks in focus in premarket trade on Wednesday, March 15th. Please refresh for updates.
- Shares in U.S. regional banks dropped, paring back gains notched on Tuesday, as a sell-off in European lenders freshened concerns over a potential banking crisis sparked by last week's collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. First Republic Bank (NYSE:), Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE:), Comerica Inc (NYSE:), KeyCorp (NYSE:), Zions Bancorporation (NASDAQ:) and PacWest Bancorp (NASDAQ:) all fell.
- Larger banks, including Bank of America Corp (NYSE:), Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:) also dipped into the red.
- U.S.-listed shares in Credit Suisse Group (NYSE:) shed more than a fourth of their value and touched a fresh record low after its top stakeholder, Saudi National Bank, ruled out offering more assistance.
- Apple Inc (NASDAQ:) shares slipped after key supplier Foxconn (TW:) said it plans to rely less on its operations in China in an earnings call.
- Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:) shares are lower as the Facebook owner embarks on a new round of layoffs. The dismissals are part of cost-cutting measures planned in Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg's so-called "year of efficiency."
- Lennar Corporation (NYSE:) rose after the homebuilder better-than-expected top- and bottom-line returns in its fiscal first quarter.
