Barclays profit surges by 23%, unveils £1bn buyback

By Frank Prenesti

Date: Tuesday 29 Jul 2025

(Sharecast News) - Barclays Bank reported a 23% rise in half-year profit and said it would start a £1bn share buyback as market volatility cause by US President Donald Trump's tariffs war boosted income.
Pre-tax profit came in at £5.2bn, while group income rose 12% to £14bn as trading in its global markets division boomed. Credit impairment charges rose £100m to £0.5bn.

Second quarter profit rose 28% to £2.5bn, beating estimates of £2.24bn, according to a bank-compiled consensus of forecasts and driven by revenues in its investment banking arm amid market volatility.

Income from Barclays investment bank was up 10% in the second quarter to £3.3bn as Trump's tariffs policy cause global turmoil and boosted trading activity.

Return on tangible equity - a key metric of profitability - rose to 12.3% in the second quarter, up from 9.9% for the same period in 2024.
