Close Brothers Group ( (GB:CBG) ) just unveiled an update.
Close Brothers Group has announced that it will redeem in full the remaining £8.62 million outstanding of its £200 million 2.00% Subordinated Tier 2 Notes due 2031. The early redemption, scheduled for 11 June 2026, follows a prior tender offer and will result in the cancellation of the notes and the termination of their listing on the London Stock Exchange.
The move streamlines the group’s capital structure by removing a small residual portion of its subordinated debt from the market. For noteholders, this brings forward repayment at the issuer’s option, while for the bank it may marginally reduce interest costs and simplify its regulatory capital profile without a material impact on overall funding.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CBG) stock is a Buy with a £555.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Close Brothers Group stock, see the GB:CBG Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on CBG Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CBG is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by weakening financial performance (revenue decline, net loss, and higher leverage), partially offset by a strong rebound in operating/free cash flow. Technicals are moderately supportive with the price above major moving averages and positive momentum indicators, but valuation remains challenged due to negative earnings and the absence of a dividend yield.
