Barclays reported a 12% increase in third-quarter pre-tax profit to £2.32 billion, though this was 4% below market expectations due to weaker fixed-income trading. The investment bank's fixed income, currencies, and commodities revenue fell 19% year on year, missing forecasts by 21%, while equities revenue rose 47%, beating estimates. Barclays UK and the UK Corporate Bank performed well, with lower credit losses and a strong capital ratio of 14.2%. Barclays maintained its 2026 guidance, and UBS views the stock as undervalued, keeping a buy rating with a 590p price target, citing potential upside.
