Barclays (LSE:BARC) declined as it announced a dividend cut and a rationalization of some of its businesses in efforts to focus on its core U.K. and U.S. markets and improve its capital position. Trading at 50% of tangible book value at quarter end, Barclays offers, in our opinion, an attractive risk/reward tradeoff as we believe it should see the benefits of its restructuring over the next couple of years.
