15:43 | bernie37: During September the Barclays share price rose more than 9%, outperforming both the FTSE 100 and the financial services sector. Barclays opened the month at 137.54p and ended September at 150.40p, a rise of 9.35%.
Barclays is one of five FTSE 100 banks, along with HSBC, Lloyds, The Royal Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered. All five saw market share gains in September. HSBC was up 6.5%, Lloyds up 8.5%, RBS up 12%, and Standard Chartered rose 8%. This made up for the falls they each experienced in August.
Temporary progress in US-China trade talks drove the banking sector up on 13 September, with Barclays reaching a high point of 157.3p. Share prices in the banking sector are closely linked to politics, particularly when it comes to topics of trade. That’s why Brexit is forever casting its shadow on the banking stocks and if a no-deal Brexit goes through, then this could again cause the Barclays share price to fall further.
Another reason the Barclays share price increased in September was the confidence shielding its dividend, which was previously thought to be at threat of a cut. The realisation that this was safe (for now) helped boost the share price.
PPI shadow
In 2018 Barclays settled claims that it mis-sold sub-prime loans prior to the financial crisis. This £1.4bn settlement was less than expected and so preempted a plan to buy back shares, which would have been the first time the bank had done this in over 20 years.
This £1bn share buyback plan is in place for next year, but there are now worries this may be partially scuppered by the pain of payment protection insurance (PPI). The ongoing PPI refund debacle is still not over and Barclays has said it now expects its PPI compensation bill to be significantly greater than previously expected or accounted for.
This resulted in concerns that Barclays will have to cut its share buyback plan in half to make provisions for the PPI refunds it owes. At the end of June, the 329-year-old bank predicted PPI provision of £360m. This has now been raised to between £1.2bn and £1.6bn.
The overall cost to the banking industry of PPI refunds now exceeds £50bn.
Targets on track
After the 2008 financial crisis, a reformed set of international standards was created to review and monitor the capital adequacy of banks. Part of that is Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), which is a precautionary way to protect the economy from another financial crisis. Barclays management says it is on target to meet its CET1 ratio goal of 13% for this year.
It has a trailing price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 8 times, which in normal circumstances would seem like a bargain, but this is not new for Barclays and even a low P/E hasn’t stopped the stock from falling in the past.
There are worries the dividend yield could be impacted if a recession rears its ugly head, or political tensions escalate. As far as banks go, Barclays has been performing better than Lloyds, but I see the sector as extremely vulnerable right now and therefore consider it risky for new investors.

21:00 | bernie37: While the income returns on Cash ISAs may have improved over recent months, they offer an average interest rate of just 1%. Since this rate of return is behind inflation, it means that your savings could be losing their spending power.
By contrast, the FTSE 100 offers a variety of companies that have improving income prospects. When purchased in a Stocks and Shares ISA or a SIPP, they could deliver impressive long-term income prospects.
With that in mind, here are two large-cap shares that could deliver improving dividend investing prospects.
Compass Group
While support services company Compass Group (LSE: CPG) may offer a dividend yield of just 1.9% at the present time, its potential to rapidly raise dividends is high.
In the last four years, for example, the company has been able to increase shareholder payouts at an annualised rate of over 9%. This growth rate has been catalysed by the company’s rising bottom line, with its net profit increasing at a double-digit pace in all but one year during the period.
Compass Group offers a high degree of consistency in terms of its financial performance. This is partly due to its geographical diversity, with it having exposure to a wide range of markets that reduce its overall risk.
Looking ahead, the company is expected to post a rise in net profit of 9% in the current year. This is forecast to lead to an increase in dividends per share of around 6%, which is significantly above inflation and suggests that the company’s income investing prospects could improve over the long run.
Barclays
Another FTSE 100 stock that is expected to deliver a rising dividend over the long run is Barclays (LSE: BARC). Although its dividend was cut by more than 50% in 2016 in order to strengthen its financial position, the company has subsequently decided to increase dividends at a rapid rate.
In the last financial year, for example, dividends increased from 3p per share to 6.5p per share. Further growth is expected in the current year, with the company’s dividends per share expected to reach 7.9p. This puts the stock on a forward yield of 5.7% after what has been a disappointing period for its share price.
While there may be further uncertainty ahead for Barclays and the wider banking sector due to risks such as a global trade war and Brexit, the company’s income investing prospects appear to be improving.
Since the stock trades on a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 6 and is expected to post a rise in net profit in the current year, it may offer a favourable risk/reward ratio. While it may not have a strong track record of dividend growth and remains an unloved stock among investors, the long-term dividend growth potential of the business may prove to be relatively high.

19:03 | bernie37: If you’re tempted by the Barclays (LSE: BARC) share price, I can’t blame you. The stock looks deeply undervalued at current levels and seems to be one of the most hated banking stocks in the UK right now — even though profits are rising.
Earlier this week, the bank reported its highest profit for the first half of its financial year in nine years. Underlying profitability, which strips out the effects of one-off charges and other costs, hit £3.1bn. Attributable profit came in at £1bn and earnings per share for the six months were 12.6p.
Stronger business
Barclays’ other profitability and quality metrics improved markedly in the first half of 2019. Group return on tangible equity came in at 9.3%. Meanwhile, its Tier 1 capital ratio increased by 40 basis points to 13.4%, substantially above its base requirement. Considering its position and surging profits, management decided to increase the bank’s interim dividend by 20% year-on-year to 3p per share.
Considering all of the above, it’s not clear to me why the market continues to place such a low multiple on the Barclays share price. Indeed, at the time of writing, shares in the bank are trading at forward P/E of less than 7 and a price to tangible book value of just 0.5. Based on current City forecasts, the stock also supports a forward dividend yield of 4.9%.
Companies only really deserve to trade at a discount to book value if they’re unprofitable and losing money for shareholders, which isn’t the case with Barclays. A near double-digit return on tangible equity for the full year would make the bank one of the most profitable in Europe on this metric. Also, the bank’s earnings per share are on track to grow by around a fifth this year, assuming there are no substantial adverse developments during the second half.
That said, there’s the prospect of Brexit in the second half. A messy exit could destabilise the UK economy and, as one of the largest lenders in the UK, Barclays’ business. As we still don’t know what form Brexit will take, this is the big unknown that’s overhanging the bank and its share price.
A positive outcome
However, while a no-deal Brexit might upset the UK economy and cost Barclays some money, unless there’s a severe economic crash, I think the bank has what it takes to weather near-term economic instability. At the same time, there could be tremendous upside on offer for shareholders if a deal is agreed before the end of October.
Weighing up these two scenarios leads me to conclude that Brexit might not be as big an issue for the firm as the market seems to be anticipating. With this being the case, I think the Barclays share price looks undervalued at current levels and could be worth your research time if you’re looking for an undervalued bank with a market-beating dividend yield.

14:15 | bernie37: The last time I covered the Barclays (LSE: BARC) share price, I concluded that, despite all of the problems facing the business, the stock could ultimately be worth 80% more than its value at the time “when Barclays finally gets its act together.“
More than a month on, and I still believe shares in the bank could double from current levels, even though activist investor Edward Bramson recently failed in his attempt to get Barclays’ management to shake up the business and prioritise shareholder returns.
Legal troubles
There’s no denying the bank has struggled to recover from the financial crisis. Even though a decade has passed since the entire UK banking sector was brought to the brink, Barclays just hasn’t been able to shake off its past issues.
Indeed, only a few weeks ago, it was fined €210m by the EU for its part in a foreign exchange cartel. It seems to me as if investors just can’t get past the constant string of lawsuits and fines Barclays appears to be facing. And I can’t blame them.
However, these issues are also camouflaging the fact there’s a fundamentally strong business under all of the problems, which is producing fantastic profits. Last year, for example, the bank reported a net income from operations of £2.2bn.
This year, analysts have pencilled in a net profit of £3.8bn. So far, there seems to be little reason to doubt the City’s growth projections for the firm.
CEO Jes Staley is targeting a return on tangible equity (a measure of profitability) of more than 9% for 2019, and 10% for 2020. Insiders have described this goal as “sacrosanct221; and Staley isn’t taking any prisoners in his quest to meet the target.
Back in April, it was revealed he is planning to cut bonuses as part of a cost-cutting drive to boost returns at the underperforming investment division, a drastic decision that has risked staff ire. Nonetheless, it’s clear the bank needs to take these actions if its ever going to pull itself out of the doldrums.
Undervalued
Only time will tell if I’m correct in my assertation that the Barclays share price could double from current, but I reckon the odds are in my favour. Even if earnings stay where they are for the next 10 years, there’s still a good chance the stock could double as, right now, it’s dealing at a historical P/E of just 6.8 and price to book ratio of 0.4.
By comparison, shares in international peer HSBC command a P/E of 11.4 and deal at a book value of one. And as well as earnings growth, the City is expecting Barclays’ dividend to rise a double-digit percentage this year as well.
After cutting the distribution to save money in 2016, management decided to double the payout in 2018, and analysts believe an increase of 15% is on the cards for 2019. If this comes to fruition, the stock will end the year with a dividend yield of 5%.
So, overall, not only is the Barclays share price deeply undervalued compared to its peers, but it also supports a market-beating dividend yield, so there’s something for everyone.

Barclays vs Lloyds
Barclays and Lloyds are the key banks in the UK sector and despite some similarities there is also glaring differences. I often get asked by clients,
which is the better of the two? One is the “boring” but steady and the other is “exciting̶1;,but can also be unstable. In this report I have looked at the pair and drawn up some key comparisons. Both have caused investors huge frustrations over recent years but both for very different reasons.
Barclays Plc (BARC) Yield 4.32%
Identity Crisis
There’s no doubting that Barclays has some great businesses when you scratch the surface.
It is of course one of the UK’s big four banks with over 23 million customers. It’s also the UK’s leading issuer of credit cards, the leading stockbroker, a leading wealth manager and has a leading investment bank.
It is fair to say that Barclays is not the global bank it once was. With the exception of the US, it has largely retreated from foreign markets. Only a few years ago it had major operations in Europe and Africa in particular, but these have been sold off.
What we have left is a UK-US focused bank. Expansion is no longer the name of the game. Today it’s all about profits and dividends.
Prized Asset
One thing that sets Barclays apart from the UK’s other big four banks is its large and sometimes successful investment bank.
Investment banking is seen as the riskier but more lucrative cousin of retail banking. Instead of mortgages and current accounts, it involves things like advice on takeovers, raising debt and equity for large corporations and trading of bonds and shares.
Barclays is the only British bank to make serious headway in investment banking, boosted by its opportunistic buy of Lehman Brothers core business during the financial crisis. This gave Barclays a leg up to compete with Wall Street’s titans such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
Becoming a major player has not come easy or cheap, so it’s understandable why Barclays is reluctant to part with one of its best assets, even if it is unfashionable. While investment banking adds extra volatility to earnings it can also generate mega-money in good times – on a scale that retail banking can never do. While investment banking adds extra volatility to earnings it can also generate mega-money in good times, on a scale that retail banking can never do. And those worried about another financial crisis should note that Barclays has been the first of the major British banks to successfully ring-fence its UK retail operations.
The Revolving Door
Shareholders like stable leadership and a clear strategy, which is fair enough, but in the last decade, Barclays has provided neither.
Barclays vs Lloyds 01
www.atlanticmarkets.co.uk
Since 2011, Barclays has had four different CEOs.
The principal reason for the high turnover of CEOs has been a continuous series of scandals. As we know, whenever there is a big scandal, the media and politicians call for someone’s head, and in Barclay’s case, that’s been the CEO. Even the current CEO, Jes Staley, has been lucky to survive several scandals. As you’d expect, every CEO has had his own vision for Barclays and has set about making it happen, only to be replaced before he gets the job done. The new guy has then come in and taken the bank in a different direction.
While there are no guarantees the present CEO will be around for the long-term, the hope is that the Board of Directors understands that the share price has been hampered by the lack of continuity, so will endeavour to create more stable leadership.
Even if it has yet to be rewarded, the new strategy for Barclays seems a lot less complicated. A focus on transatlantic operations will be much easier to understand and manage.
We’ve noted that Barclays is now taking a leaf out of Lloyd’s book and continuously using the words simple and straightforward. I don’t think Barclays will ever be a simple as Lloyds, but nor should it try to be. It’s got a better spread of assets and products. You can’t be simple and diversified at the same time.
Lloyds Bank (LLOY) Yield 6.19%
Lloyds is back to doing what it does best – current accounts, mortgages, personal and business loans, life insurance...sound dull? Thank goodness.
Fund managers in the City used to mockingly call Lloyds “the world’s most boring bank”, who knew that would become a compliment. It’s taken many years for Lloyds to recover from the financial crisis, not only financially, but also on a reputational level.
As we know, Lloyds made a near fatal error when it bought HBOS in the thick of the fog back in 2008. In the four years that followed, the HBOS side of the business would incur a mammoth £45 billion of loan impairments in addition to £10 billion from the Lloyds side.
It was enough to bring any financial institution to its knees and Lloyds was forced into a £20 billion government bailout.
The UKs First ‘SuperbankR17;
Bailout aside, the purchase of HBOS propelled Lloyds to become the UK’s first ‘super bank’.
Bear in mind, if the acquisition had taken place in ordinary times, such a major move would have faced tremendous opposition and likely to have been blocked altogether by competition regulators. Together, the two banks had relationships with four out of ten consumers.
The timing of the deal was terrible, but the cost savings have been tremendous. The initial aim was to achieve a target of £1 billion of annual cost savings, but it wasn’t long before this was revised up to £1.5 billion, then to over £2 billion.
Road to Recovery
Lloyds continues to make progress with a strong start to the Group’s latest strategic plan and the planned integration of Zurich and MBNA and launch of Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets all
Barclays vs Lloyds 02
www.atlanticmarkets.co.uk
going to plan. The biggest appeal for the potential share buyer is the recent increase to the interim ordinary dividend. This and the overall Improved guidance offer investors some respite and positivity to look forward to.
One thing that Lloyds has long been known for is its ability to keep a tight rein on costs, and that’s where a lot of the profit improvement is coming from. Lloyds has the lowest cost base of the big four banks. It also has a very strong capital position, more than double the minimum allowable level. What’s more, Lloyds has no net reliance on wholesale funding – meaning it’s self-funded.
PPI Pay-outs
The total PPI provisions for Lloyds now stands at a staggering £19.4bn since 2011. The compensation payments have been so vast that the Financial Times mockingly referred to Lloyds as “a cash dispenser to the people”. On the bright side, it’s a big achievement that Lloyds’ has been able to pay out billions in compensation and not only survive, but resume making good profits. Given the strength of the underlying business, it shouldn’t be too long before Lloyds switches over to being a cash dispenser to its shareholders.
How They Compare
Lloyds is a better run business with a far superior cost to income ratio. It is also safer with a substantially higher capital ratio. It offers investors an attractive and growing dividend yield at a modest forecast PE ratio. While its business has a narrow focus, it is the UK’s most straightforward bank. In short, it’s an income play with good upside potential. The net asset value per share is not so appealing to investors compared to Barclays. Lloyds NAV (exc intangibles) is 55.51p compared to Barclays far more appealing 318.58p.
Barclays has a lot of catching up to do. Its costs are way too high, and its capital could do with a boost. Both of these points are being addressed. The recent dividend increases are now appealing to the income investor, but this has weighed on the company’s overall dividend cover. Barclays dividend cover is 1.45 compared to a healthier cover for Lloyds at 1.71. The biggest attraction
of Barclays is its deep discount to net assets. The dividend cover does also offer investors the comfort. There’s a lot of potential upside that could be unlocked if the management team can run the business in a cohesive and consistent manner. For investors prepared to take a longer view,
Barclays is a bargain.

Bramson is trying to win a place on Barclays' board at its annual shareholder meeting
The corporate raider stalking Barclays bank has made himself an estimated £7million in fees since securing support from investors, according to an analysis seen by The Mail on Sunday.
Edward Bramson is trying to win a place on Barclays' board at its annual shareholder meeting on May 2 after building a 5.5 per cent stake in the bank.
He raised the funds for the investment from major institutions such as Aviva, Fidelity and Invesco.
But it has now emerged that Bramson will earn a hefty fee for his work managing Sherborne Investors Guernsey C, the name of the vehicle he set up to buy his Barclays stake.
Bramson earns fees even if he does not secure a board seat at Barclays or execute his turnaround plan.

In an attack on the bank's management last week, he said the decline in Barclays' share price was not solely to do with Brexit.
He also warned that Barclays' commitment to its investment bank was 'untenable' and that the bank may need to raise new capital if there was a downturn.
In a letter to shareholders, Sherborne said: 'We believe the market's evaluation of Barclays' shares reflects the growing risks that the corporate and investment bank poses to Barclays' overall financial position – and that the market does not share the board's optimism that the hidden merits of its strategy will eventually become apparent.'
The activist investor's fees are partly tied to how Barclays' share price performs. Payments will rise further if he secures a seat as an executive director or chairman.

Barclays last week admitted that it was 'dissatisfied' with its recent share price performance
Barclays last week slammed Bramson's letter. The bank admitted that it was 'dissatisfied' with its recent share price performance.
But it said Bramson's presence on the board would be destabilising. It added: 'Mr Bramson is not someone the board believes will help either as a board member or as a colleague.
'We believe his letter demonstrates a preconceived viewpoint and a poor understanding of Barclays and its corporate and investment bank.
'Mr Bramson misunderstands the drivers of that business and his analysis is based on a flawed understanding of complex banking organisations and reaches conclusions that are inconsistent with the data.'
Bramson is expected to continue his campaign even if he does not win shareholder support in next month's vote.
The activist investor normally holds an investment for a period of 28 months, so he could earn as much as £12million in fees even if he does not gain a seat on the Barclays' board. Barclays and Sherborne declined to comment.
