Description: BCS Barclays January 27, 2026
Barclays PLC (NYSE: BCS) is a globally diversified financial services firm headquartered in London, operating across retail banking, credit cards, wholesale and investment banking, wealth management, and investment management.

In its latest reporting (Q4 2025), Barclays posted a net profit of $5.9 billion, a 7% year-over-year increase, driven by a 4% rise in loan book growth and a 12% lift in fee-based income. The bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio improved to 13.2%, reflecting a stronger capital position amid tightening European banking regulations. Key sector drivers include the Bank of England’s policy rate at 5.25%-supporting net interest margins-and accelerating digital adoption, with 55% of UK retail transactions now processed via mobile channels, outpacing the industry average of 48%.
