The latest update is out from Barclays ( (GB:BARC) ).

Barclays PLC has increased its provision for a motor finance compensation scheme from £90 million to £325 million following the FCA’s consultation paper on a proposed redress scheme. This adjustment reflects the potential for a higher number of cases and a different approach to customer redress, impacting Barclays’ CET1 capital ratio by approximately 5 basis points. Barclays ceased motor finance lending in 2019, and the final terms of the compensation scheme remain uncertain, with Barclays planning to engage with the FCA to ensure a fair outcome.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:BARC) stock is a Buy with a £425.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Barclays stock, see the GB:BARC Stock Forecast page.
