BNP Paribas, Societe Generale and Credit Agricole disappointed investors with first-quarter results, as their investment banking units lagged Wall Street rivals and UBS. Performance was hurt by a weaker dollar and by a failure to capitalize on volatility tied to the Iran war. The results point to softer trading/investment-banking momentum across French lenders and could pressure near-term sentiment on the group.
