Barclays: An Impressive Start To FY25

  • Barclays reported another strong quarterly result for Q125, with the Investment Bank division capitalizing on opportunities delivered by a period of heightened market volatility. Despite upgraded guidance for group net interest income, management left the FY25E return on tangible equity target of ~11% unchanged. Good progress continues to be made on efficiency savings, but operating costs are expected to increase over the remainder of the year.
