Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Adss Of Barclays Plc

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We adjust our 12-month target price to USD27 from USD30. This is derived by applying a 9.1x P/E multiple to our 2026 EPS forecast. The premium over its five-year historical average forward P/E of 6.4x is justified by its improved profitability profile, earnings resilience and capital return visibility. We maintain our 2026 EPS forecast of GBP0.55 and our 2027 EPS forecast at GBP0.62. Our Buy rating is reinforced by a strong Q1 2026 performance, which serves as proof of the bank's ambitious strategic plan. Barclays showed striking resilience by absorbing about GBP333 million in notable one-off charges, including a GBP228 million fraud-related impairment and a GBP105 million motor finance provision, while still delivering a robust 13.5% RoTE. Management's commitment to shareholder returns was reaffirmed with the announcement of a new GBP500M share buyback, adding significant credibility to the multi-year framework of distributing over GBP15B to shareholders between 2026 and 2028.

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.
