Research Alert: Barclays Delivers In-line Q1 With Broad-based Growth; Reaffirms All Targets
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Barclays delivered solid Q1 2026 results with profit before tax of GBP2.81B (+3% Y/Y) and RoTE of 13.5%, in line with consensus expectations of GBP2.83B. Total income grew 6% to GBP8.16B, reflecting broad-based performance, with the Investment Bank achieving record quarterly income exceeding GBP4B (Global Markets up 6%, Banking fees up 17%) and U.K. businesses continuing growth with net interest income (NII) up 12%. We believe Barclays remains on track to achieve its targets given the momentum shown in Q1 2026, with all divisions achieving double-digit returns, including the U.S. Consumer Bank RoTE improving to 18.8% from 4.5%. Management reaffirmed all 2026 and 2028 financial targets, expressing confidence in achieving more than 12% RoTE in 2026 and more than 14% in 2028, supported by its diversified platform. Capital strength remains robust with a 14.1% CET1 ratio near the top of its 13%-14% target range, supporting the announced GBP500M share buyback following completion of the ongoing GBP1.0B program.

EMEA Oil Update: Brent Hits 3-Week Peak Amid Hormuz Standoff
Crude prices extended gains on Tuesday with Brent futures hovering above a three-week peak as the market remained skeptical of a new Iranian peace proposal.The Brent futures contract gained 2.3% to $110.72 per barrel, taking the contract to its highest since April 7.Murban closed at $104.19 on April 27 and was not trading as of the time of publishing this oil price update.While reports emerged that Tehran offered a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for an end to the US naval blockade, analysts at Commerzbank noted that the market is "losing its faith" in such stories after numerous false starts."US-Iran peace talks remain at an impasse, with efforts to resume negotiations stalled. Iran reportedly offered the US a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend, which the White House confirmed is being discussed by President Trump's national security team," Saxo Bank analysts said.The physical impact of the US-led blockade is becoming increasingly stark.Data from Kpler reveals that Iranian oil exports have collapsed by 70%, dropping to just 567,000 barrels per day from a March average of 1.85 million.With Iranian storage facilities estimated to have less than 22 days of capacity remaining, the country faces forced production cuts of up to 1.5 million barrels per day by mid-May.This possibility of such a supply cut was reinforced on Monday when two Iran-linked supertankers, the Tifani and Phonix, were seen turning east away from the blockade after being intercepted by US forces near Sri Lanka.Looking ahead, the prospect of a "cruel summer" for global consumers is growing, strategists at RBC Capital Markets noted.RBC analysts warned that the conflict, now entering its third month, has triggered the largest supply shock in modern history by displacing nearly one billion barrels of crude and refined products.Even if a diplomatic breakthrough occurs, experts caution that damage to infrastructure and logistics entail a slow future recovery in Middle Eastern oil and gas output, ensuring higher prices and tighter inventories persist.
