Lloyds and Barclays most preferred as UK banks 'still offer upside' and returns
BCS, LYG
Published: August 26, 2025 by: Proactive Investors
Sentiment: Positive

Valuations across UK domestic banks have recovered strongly with a 140% total shareholder return since the start of 2024 but the sector still offers value, even if it is slightly less attractive than before, analysts at Jefferies believe. The implied cost of equity (COE) is now below 14%, which makes the investment case "less compelling" than before, the broker remains constructive on the sector and sees Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LSE:LLOY) and Barclays PLC (LSE:BARC) over NatWest Group PLC (LSE:NWG).

Barclays is transforming into a more profitable, shareholder-focused bank, targeting a sustainable RoTE above 12% by 2026 through RWA redeployment and efficiency gains.

Barclays: Make Hay While The Sun Shines
BCS
Published: July 29, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Barclays posted a Q2 2025 result that contained more positives than negatives, with continued income support from Global Markets and a low bad debt charge. Barclays' target RoTE for FY26E of at least 12% will require a continuation of current supportive trends and, as such, should be regarded as a stretch target. Although the stock's price to TNAV discount has almost entirely closed, high levels of near-term expected profitability align with an undemanding valuation and justify a continued Buy rating.
