Barclays shares stumble to the bottom of London's blue-chip
index after the British lender warned on restructuring charges in
the fourth-quarter and trimmed net interest margin guidance for its
U.K. division.
At 0906 GMT, shares were down 6.84 pence, or 4.75%, to 137.20
pence, their lowest price since late March, having fallen as low as
131.5 pence earlier in the session.
The bank said it could potentially book one-off material costs
in the fourth-quarter from measures aimed at cutting structural
costs, which it expects to help drive future returns. An update on
cost efficiencies, disciplined capital allocation and revised
financial targets will be set out at full-year results in February,
it added.
Excluding the charges, the group continues to target a return on
tangible equity of around 10% for the full year.
Barclays also lowered its net interest margin expectation for
Barclays UK to between 3.05% to 3.10%, from a view of around 3.15%
previously. For the third quarter, it posted a margin of 3.04%,
down from 3.22% in the second quarter.
"We would expect NIM to step back a little in 4Q," company
executives said in a call with analysts.
