Investec stock (ISIN GB00B17BBQ50) was trading at GBp 618.50 on the London Stock Exchange on September 25, 2026, at 11:45 a.m. UTC. The group has raised the earnings bar for the six months ending September 30, 2026, with adjusted earnings per share guided to 41.7p to 43.3p, compared with 40.5p in 1H2026.
Guidance points to higher earnings
According to Investegate on September 18, 2026, Investec expects headline EPS of 38.1p to 39.7p for 1H2027, versus 36.7p in 1H2026. That represents growth of 4% to 8%, while basic EPS is forecast at 38.1p to 39.7p, compared with 37.8p.
Pre-provision adjusted operating profit is guided to GBP 531.4 million to GBP 548.4 million, against GBP 527.4 million in the prior period. The range implies growth of 1% to 4%, while the cost-to-income ratio is guided at 52% to 54%.
Loans expand faster than deposits
The same September 18, 2026 update shows core loans at GBP 37.0 billion on August 31, 2026, up 6.3% annualized in neutral currency and 10.3% in reported currency from GBP 35.5 billion at March 31, 2026. Customer deposits reached GBP 46.0 billion, up 2.8% annualized in neutral currency.
The operating mix matters because the update also points to different regional trends. The Southern African business is expected to deliver adjusted operating profit up to 6% ahead in rand terms, while the UK business is guided 2% to 6% behind the prior period. Investec therefore enters the interim reporting date with loan growth supporting the group while regional profit trends diverge.
Stock stays below the yearly high
Investec stock was up 0.08 percent at the September 25, 2026 intraday snapshot, with a previous close of GBp 618.00. Its 52-week range was GBp 499.36 to GBp 690.00, placing the live price 10.36 percent below the high and 23.85 percent above the low.
The market capitalization stood at GBP 5,259,371,758 at the same snapshot. Investec has scheduled its interim results for November 19, 2026, covering the six months ending September 30, 2026, giving investors a dated checkpoint for the guidance ranges and regional performance.
