Credit Suisse Group AG is at risk of posting a third consecutive annual loss after predicting it will take a 2.3 billion-francs ($2.33 billion) hit from a U.S. tax overhaul signed into law by President Donald Trump.

Unless the Zurich-based bank made significantly more than 1 billion francs in the final quarter of this year, the writedown could trigger yet another yearly deficit for the lender, which had a net income position of 1.14 billion francs after nine months.
