Lloyds shares play catch-up with Big Four rivals in 2025
Banking group was left behind in 2024 but has made up lost ground since.
So far this year shares in banking group Lloyds (LLOY) have closed the gap which opened up between it and peers like Barclays (BARC) and NatWest (NWG) in 2024.
That the stock has advanced year-to-date is even more impressive when you consider the company has significant exposure to the ongoing motor finance mis-selling scandal.
While this remains a source of uncertainty, elsewhere the business is very much firing on all cylinders, as was evident in the company’s fourth-quarter and full-year results on 20 February.
While the headline numbers were a touch disappointing, the outlook was brighter, with the bank committed
to returning excess cash, including
a 15% increase in the total ordinary 2024 dividend to 3.17p per share and a new £1.7 billion buyback.
There was a promise of more to come, too, as Nunn forecast the bank would generate a return on tangible equity of 13.5% in 2025 and greater than 15% in 2026, meaning it will generate more excess capital than expected, which could be set aside for further buybacks. [TS] |

Fund Manager starts a position in Lloyds despite car finance uncertainty.
Columbia Threadneedle manager David Moss started a position in Lloyds (LLOY) despite concerns over the mis-selling of motor finance.
Moss added the Citywire Elite Companies AA-rated banking giant to his £132m CT UK High Income (CHI) investment trust in February.
‘Issues on the potential mis-selling of motor finances had led to Lloyds heavily underperforming its peers and, with the valuation looking very attractive while results were good despite increased provisions for motor finance, we started a position,’ he said.
Shares in Lloyds have struggled to keep up with peers, despite gaining 42% over the past year, after the financial regulator clamped down on providers of finance for car loans over commissions paid to car dealers. Last month, Lloyds nearly tripled the amount it set aside to cover mis-selling to £1.2bn, which hit profits. |
