Standard Chartered (STAN): news on Thursday 1 October 2026
+3.3 positive
Coverage was dominated by the bank's research on Ethena, with a $2 ENA target and $40bn USDe forecast, plus its grants to women-led startups and Asean growth push. This was partly offset by a share price slide, a report on small depositors costing it top-tier status, and a note that it lagged peers.
What drove it
- Ethena crypto research
- share price slide
- startup grants and growth
