| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $50.8B | -10.9% | +122.4% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $7.2B | +11.4% | +12.5% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +57.3% | +12.5% | +11.5% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +18.0% | +23.8% | -49.2% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +14.1% | +24.9% | -49.4% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $-8.1B | -245.7% | — |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | -15.9% | -263.4% | — |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 282.8% | +9.3% | -2.6% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 0.58x | -23.8% | +6.6% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $1544.2B | +1.7% | +2.1% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 1.80 vs 2.34 | -22.9% | 0.64 vs 0.82 | -21.8% |

Operator : Welcome to the Barclays Half Year 2026 Results Analyst and Investor Conference Call. I will now hand over to C.S. Venkatakrishnan, Group Chief Executive before I hand over to Anna Cross, Group Finance Director. Coimbatore Venkatakrishnan : Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining Barclays' results call for the Second Quarter of 2026. I'm pleased with our performance in this quarter. We have delivered strong revenues. Our U.K. businesses have demonstrated robust performance across the segments. The Investment Bank continues to do well, both structurally and cyclically, taking advantage of a favorable environment this quarter. We are achieving consistently higher returns across our businesses and therefore, delivery for you, our shareholders. Income of GBP 8.3 billion was up GBP 1.2 billion from the same quarter last year. We also grew profit before tax by more than 30% to GBP 3.3 billion, and we remain robustly capitalized with a CET1 ratio of 14.3%. Given the momentum and breadth of our progress, we are upgrading the group income target to circa GBP 31.5 billion in 2026, and we remain very confident in delivering group ROTE of greater than 12% this year, having achieved 16.1% in the second quarter, and 14.8% for the first half. We are balancing progressive returns and distributions with investment to secure sustainably higher RoTE. We are increasing shareholder returns, announcing a GBP 1 billion share buyback and an GBP 800 million interim dividend. This brings the first half distributions to GBP 2.3 billion, up 61% versus the first half of 2025. In our investor update in February this year, I spoke of an accelerating ambition for Barclays, forging segment-leading operationally efficient businesses primed to support growth. We said we would build the foundations for an all-weather RoTE from 2026 to 2028 with the aim of sustainably higher returns beyond 2028. As we discussed, our businesses are now revolving around technology, and our aim is to build standardized foundations, use modernized approaches and based on harmonized systems and processes. All of this is powered by our talented and inventive colleagues. And we are using additional capacity from our strong first half profitability to structurally improve Barclays' returns. This program is showing encouraging results. Therefore, after our increase in distributions, we will use some of the capacity from our stronger first half profitability to take further cost actions later in 2026. We anticipate that this will create greater cost flexibility from 2027 onwards. These plans increase our confidence in delivering a 2028 RoTE greater than 14%, accelerating our progress towards an all-weather RoTE. Anna will expand on this shortly. All 3 U.K. businesses delivered RoTE above 20% this quarter with consistent volume and revenue growth. Investments which we have made have allowed us again to monetize strong markets and banking wars in the Investment Bank, where RoTE increased …

NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues to investigate potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Barclays PLC (NYSE: BCS) resulting from allegations that Barclays may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.

Barclays PLC Q2 2026 results update disappointed the market, triggering an 8.7% intraday drop from pre-release highs. A strong H1 operating performance along with raised FY26E income targets was not enough to offset concerns on costs and specific segment revenue items. Recent price weakness follows a period of strong performance, suggesting prior market optimism may have been excessive.
