Barclays: share falls after unsurprising results

(CercleFinance.com) - Barclays shares were one of the biggest decliners on the FTSE 100 on Thursday morning, following the publication of unsurprisingly strong annual results.


The British banking group said this morning that it had achieved its targets for 2024 by improving both its operational and financial performance, in line with its three-year strategic plan.

Pre-tax profits were up 24% at £8.1bn, giving earnings per share up by more than eight pence at 36 pence.

The London-based company reported a return on tangible equity (RoTE) ratio of 10.5%, while recalling that it had redistributed some £3bn to its shareholders, including £1bn in the form of share buy-backs.

For 2025, Barclays is targeting a RoTE of around 11%, with the aim of increasing this to more than 12% by 2026.

Following this publication, which was not considered very attractive, Barclays shares dropped by more than 5% on Thursday on the London Stock Exchange.
