An update from NatWest Group ( (GB:NWG) ) is now available.
NatWest Group disclosed that its chair and several independent non-executive directors, including the senior independent director, purchased small tranches of ordinary shares on 1 April 2026 in line with the company’s shareholding policy for the board. The purchases, executed on the London Stock Exchange at £5.77 per share, reinforce governance expectations that directors maintain a direct equity stake in the bank, modestly aligning their interests more closely with those of shareholders and signalling confidence in the group’s prospects.
The transactions span multiple board members, from Chair Rick Haythornthwaite to senior independent director Lena Wilson, and collectively increase insider ownership at NatWest Group. While the individual trades are not large in volume, such coordinated share purchases under a formal policy can be read by the market as a sign of board-level commitment, offering incremental reassurance to investors focused on alignment and stewardship at one of the U.K.’s key banking institutions.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:NWG) stock is a Buy with a £607.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NatWest Group stock, see the GB:NWG Stock Forecast page.
