Price Target:
677.00p
▲(21.54% Upside)
The score is held back most by weak cash generation (negative operating and free cash flow) despite solid profitability and an improved leverage profile. Offsetting this, valuation is attractive (low P/E and high yield) and technicals show an established uptrend. Earnings-call guidance and capital returns are supportive, though tempered by profit pressure and macro uncertainty.
Positive Factors
Diversified specialist banking model
A multi-segment model (private banking, corporate & investment banking, wealth) provides diversified fee and interest streams across client types and geographies. This reduces reliance on any single market cycle and supports persistent revenue sources and cross-sell opportunities over the medium term.
Improved leverage and equity base
A materially lower debt-to-equity ratio indicates a stronger capital structure and reduced financial risk, improving resilience to funding stress and enabling more stable capital allocation to lending, investments, and shareholder returns over coming quarters.
Robust capital generation and returns
Consistent capital generation that funds dividends, buybacks and reinvestment demonstrates disciplined capital management and supports shareholder return policy while financing strategic growth, which underpins long-term confidence in management's capital allocation framework.
Negative Factors
Weak cash conversion
Persistent negative operating and free cash flow means accounting profits are not translating into cash, increasing reliance on external funding or balance-sheet changes to support operations. That raises medium-term funding and reinvestment risks, limiting financial flexibility.
Volatile revenue and profits
Swinging top-line and profit levels reduce predictability of earnings and hinder long-range planning. Revenue cyclicality can pressure margins and capital needs in downturns and complicates forecasting of sustainable profitability and returns over the next several quarters.
Leverage volatility and funding reliance
Large year-to-year swings in debt suggest episodic reliance on external funding or balance-sheet adjustments, raising refinancing and liquidity risk. This volatility can constrain strategic execution, increase funding costs in stress periods, and weaken long-term stability.

(Q2-2026)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 14, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
The earnings call presented a balanced view of the company's performance. Highlights included growth in adjusted earnings per share, strong capital generation, and positive economic developments in South Africa. However, these were countered by challenges such as a decline in adjusted operating profit, economic constraints in the UK, and slower-than-expected progress in the share buyback program.
Q2-2026 Updates
Positive Updates
Adjusted Earnings Per Share Growth
The company reported a growth in adjusted earnings per share of 2.5% to 40.5p, indicating a positive trend in profitability.
Strong Capital Position
Capital generation remained robust, enabling reinvestment in the business and shareholder distributions, including a dividend per share of 17.5p and a significant share buyback program.
South Africa Economic Improvement
Positive economic indicators in South Africa, including a credit rating upgrade and removal from the FATF grey list, contributing to a more favorable business environment.
Increase in Tangible Net Asset Value
The company saw an increase in tangible net asset value per share of 7.4%, showcasing strong asset management.
Negative Updates
Decline in Adjusted Operating Profit
Pre-provision adjusted operating profit decreased to GBP 527.4 million, affected by lower interest rates impacting net interest income.
UK Economic Constraints
The UK economy remains constrained with a high level of uncertainty, affecting the company's operations and growth in this region.
Slow Progress in Share Buyback Program
The progress on the share buyback program has been slower than anticipated, with only about half executed by the time of reporting.
Company Guidance
The guidance provided in the call highlighted several key financial metrics and strategic initiatives for the business. For the fiscal period, the company reported a 2.5% growth in adjusted earnings per share, reaching 40.5p. The dividend per share declared by the Board was 17.5p, alongside a significant portion of a share buyback program initiated in May. The company demonstrated strong capital generation, enabling reinvestment in business areas like the corporate mid-market and modernization of platforms, while also rewarding shareholders. The return on equity was well within targets, with a notable rise from approximately 14% towards the top end of the 13% to 17% range. Net core loans grew by 8%, and funds under management saw an increase, reflecting robust client activity. The cost-to-income ratio stood at 51.9%, below the indicated range of 52% to 54%, showing efficiency despite ongoing investments in people and technology. The credit loss ratio was 35 basis points, within the target range of 25 to 45 basis points. Additionally, the return on tangible equity was 15.7%, with a 7.4% increase in tangible net asset value per share. Looking forward, the company expects consistent performance in the second half, with a full-year ROE projection of around 13.7%, and continued investment to support growth initiatives and technological advancements.

Investec Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Reported profitability and returns are solid and leverage improved materially in 2025, but persistent negative operating and free cash flow is a major weakness and raises cash-conversion/funding reliance risk. Revenue and debt levels have also been volatile year-to-year.
Income Statement
68
Positive
Profitability is solid, with net profit margins consistently strong (roughly 27%–49% across the period) and healthy returns implied by net income levels. Revenue growth is volatile: strong growth in 2025 (annual revenue up ~35%) follows declines in 2024 and 2023, pointing to a less stable top-line trajectory. Net income also fluctuates (notably lower in 2025 versus 2024), which tempers the quality of the recent rebound.
Balance Sheet
72
Positive
The balance sheet looks reasonably supported by equity, with debt-to-equity improving materially in 2025 (~0.50) versus a higher leverage year in 2024 (~1.41). Equity has generally trended higher over time, and returns on equity are healthy (about 10%–17% historically, ~12% in 2025). The main weakness is leverage volatility year-to-year (large swings in total debt), which can signal changing risk posture or funding needs.
Cash Flow
38
Negative
Cash generation is the key pressure point. Operating cash flow is negative in most years shown (including 2025), and free cash flow is also consistently negative from 2021–2025, indicating the business is not translating accounting earnings into cash in recent periods. While free cash flow growth is positive in 2025, it is improving from a weak base and still remains meaningfully negative, raising questions around cash conversion and funding reliance.
