Lloyds Gets Big Capital Returns Prediction From Barclays Analyst

The fundamentals on offer at Lloyds Banking Group Plc are “too good to ignore,” according to Barclays Plc analysts, who predict the UK bank could return almost half of its market value to shareholders by 2027.

Analysts led by Aman Rakkar on Wednesday lifted their price target on the British lender to a level above any other tracked by Bloomberg, propelling Lloyds shares to a seven-year high and making them the best performer in the FTSE 100 Index since the start of 2025. The new objective of 90 pence implies upside of more than 30% from Tuesday’s close.
