FINANCIALS: Barclays: Mixed Credit Stats, New Buyback, Spreads Already Tight

FINANCIALS

Barclays (BACR: Baa1/BBB+/A) results headlines show revenues and costs broadly in line which, after positive US IB reporting, may be taken negatively. Loan losses are around a quarter lower than expected, NPLs are in line but CET1 has missed by 10bp. However, there’s a new buyback announcement in here – the equity market was expecting something, but this news is nearly always positive in that world. Spreads have tightened over the last month and our sense is that these results don’t really justify that move.

  • “*BARCLAYS STILL SEES FY LOAN-LOSS RATE 0.5% TO 0.6%, EST. 0.5% 
  • *BARCLAYS STILL SEES FY CET1 RATIO 13% TO 14%, EST. 13.4%
  • *BARCLAYS: SHARE BUYBACK OF UP TO £750M
  • *BARCLAYS 2Q NET INTEREST INCOME GBP3.06B, EST. GBP2.97B
  • *BARCLAYS 2Q INVESTMENT BANK REV. GBP3.02B, EST. GBP2.89B
  • *BARCLAYS SEES FY UK NET INT. INCOME GBP6.3B, SAW ABOUT GBP6.1B” - BBG
