FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX Broker) - A potentially expensive aftermath of the Postbank takeover weighed on Deutsche Bank shares on Monday. The shares fell by around 4 percent to 15.87 euros on Monday morning, bringing up the rear in the Dax. The shares had already come under pressure on Friday after prices exceeded the 17 euro mark for the first time since 2017.

On Friday evening, a setback was announced in the dispute with former Postbank shareholders over the appropriateness of the takeover price. The Koln Higher Regional Court had indicated that some of the claims could be found to be justified in a later decision. The financial institution therefore announced the formation of a provision worth billions for legal disputes.

Analyst Michael Christodoulou from Berenberg Bank therefore spoke of a bumpy road ahead for the bank. Despite the recent good operating performance, this year's sales targets remain a challenge for the Frankfurt-based bank. Although the Postbank dispute would not change the strategy, it would probably have an impact on the plans for capital distributions./tih7mis
