Profits rise sees Barclays plan £15m shareholder bonanza
Western Daily Press
|February 11, 2026
BARCLAYS kickstarted plans to dish out cash to shareholders yesterday after the bank's profit breezed ahead of expectations for the 2025 financial year.
The FTSE 100 giant launched a fresh £1bn share buyback after pretax profit soared 13% in the last 12 months to £9.1bn. This came ahead of internal analyst consensus of £9bn.
The bank said it intended to splash out over £15bn through dividends and buybacks between 2026 and 2028 in a bid to secure sustainable high returns.
Barclays is targeting a return on tangible equity - a crucial measure that indicates a firm's profitability relative to shareholder equity - of greater than 14%.
