[smurfy2001] 09/11/2010 09:17

The Barclays webcast is pretty postive to me but costs are increasing...

[grahamite2] 09/11/2010 09:12

How nice, it did get to 3% up. Short at 293.9.

[martyn9] 09/11/2010 09:12

Falling house prices, poor retail sales and fragile confidence point to slump

OECD says UK heading for downturn as Rics survey finds fewer houses up for sale and BRC says non-food sales have dropped

[jwe] 09/11/2010 08:17

So much for +3%!!

[roadwalker] 09/11/2010 08:10

Have we witnessed the end of the lack lustre dividends or do they intend to maintain the levels that are presently paid. I suppose you can say, we are getting more than Premium Bonds!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[grahamite2] 09/11/2010 08:03

Damn, I was so hoping Bloomberg would be right and it would open 3% up.

[sir ramsey] 09/11/2010 08:00

Barclays eked out a small increase in nine-month profit as a doubling of profit at the investment banking arm offset huge impairment charges at the Spanish business. The bank has made £4.27bn so far in 2010, up 4% on the same time last year, or 6% to £4.24bn excluding movements on own credit, gains on acquisitions and disposals and gains on debt buy-backs. Impairment charges were slashed by 31% to £4.30bn.

The results are not the disaster Monty et all were predicting, the business is stable and profitable with NAV considerably above the current price, aspects of the business which have not performed very well such as corporate will more than likely pick up for the next quarter, all in all it's a bit swings and roundabouts but, IMHO at least, the swing should be upwards.

FWIW-Bloomberg are saying the call for BARC first off is up by 3%

[redhill] 09/11/2010 07:40

Increased operating costs seem due to the fact that they took the oportunity to top up the pension pot.

[bantam175] 09/11/2010 07:39

All things considered, much better results than I was expecting.

[grahamite2] 09/11/2010 07:23

A shame that substantially reduced impairments are almost entirely dissipated in increased operating costs.

Certainly not terrible but it's hard to see the market finding much to like in this.

divi is 1p.....3p year to date..
