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%.
