Barclays raised its full-year income guidance and announced £2.3bn in half-year capital returns as all divisions delivered double-digit returns on tangible equity.

Barclays US maintained capital ratios above all regulatory minimums across the Federal Reserve's nine-quarter severely adverse scenario test.

Barclays has repurchased 234.85m shares for cancellation under its FY 2025 buy-back at a VWAP of 425.8014p and will begin a new £500m buy-back on 8 May.

Shore Capital Markets says Barclays' first‑quarter showing was "solid and broadly in line" after profit before tax matched consensus despite c.£0.3bn of one‑off charges and a RoTE of 13.5%.
