Barclays downgraded by Investec

StockMarketWire.com

Investec has downgraded its recommendation on Barclays (LON:BARC) to 'hold' from 'buy', stating that the valuation case is no longer overwhelming.

The broker added: "We believe Barclays' last "strategic reset" some 10 months ago had the effect of deferring its RoE>CoE aspiration until 2017e.

"Unfortunately, following last week's sharp increase in the UK bank levy, to which Barclays has materially greater exposure than its UK domestic bank peers, we believe the timescale for RoE "normalisation" has now been pushed back even further - to 2018e."

Investec also said that it thinks the banking groups dividend growth aspirations have, in effect, been deferred until 2016.

Analysts have cut their target to 270 pence a share (from 295 pence), implying a forecast total return of 7.2 per cent.

The shares are up twelve per cent in the last six months and up five per cent on a three-month view.

ex simple answer diamond in 2007 said what a great bank it was
so I believed the liar and bought £200.000 worth he was a liar an should be
in prison along with other directors at barc
the fines tell you that the bank is full of crooks and liars
not my posts . and after 7 years still no end to the fines and corruption
of the bankers and directors at the bank no one sacked no moneys clawed
back they walked away for holders to pay for their crimes

and myself down 100k
now tell me this is a good clean bank which it is not
Jenkins was a part of the corruption at the bank and now getting massive bonuses for what it is not for performance

Most financial penalties have been paid or allowed for, so going forward this is a good share to hold. A recovering economy does so on the back of banks, and Barclays is a sound bank in which to invest, with a useful dividend. I'm long BARC.

[portside1] 25/3/2015 11:07

".take it from me.one of the cheapest in the ftse".
Then a few sentences later you say
"barcs is a rotten bank run by rotten people who will not answer questions put to them."

What is your gripe? Apart from a monotonous tourettes tic!
Hell hath no fury, like portside1 scorned! You need to get over this for your own sanity!

Barclays PLC fell 0.8% following a downgrade to hold from buy at Investec. The "valuation case is no longer overwhelming in the context of our deteriorating expectations for the scale and pace of [return on equity] recovery," wrote analyst Ian Gordon in a note.

I never really pay much attention to brokers. I guess their views are as valid as any, but most seem to follow the movements in the share price rather than predict them.
