Published on 10/04/2026 at 22:57 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Investec stock was last at GBp 605 on October 2, 2026, after the group maintained its 1H2027 earnings outlook. The reference price was 0.82 percent below the prior close of GBp 610, while the latest trading update points to stronger earnings per share and continued balance-sheet growth.
Adjusted EPS stays ahead
According to TradingView on September 18, 2026, Investec expects adjusted EPS of 41.7p to 43.3p for the six months ending September 30, 2026. That represents growth of 3 percent to 7 percent against adjusted EPS of 40.5p in 1H2026.
The same update projects headline EPS of 38.1p to 39.7p, compared with 36.7p in 1H2026, and pre-provision adjusted operating profit of GBP 531.4 million to GBP 548.4 million, versus GBP 527.4 million previously. The ranges make earnings execution the central checkpoint for the November report.
Loans and deposits expand
Investec's operating indicators also show balance-sheet expansion. Core loans increased 10.3 percent annualized in reported currency to GBP 37.0 billion in the five months through August 31, 2026, from GBP 35.5 billion at March 31, 2026, according to Morningstar.
Customer deposits rose 6.8 percent annualized in reported currency to GBP 46.0 billion over the same period. Southern African Wealth funds under management reached GBP 30.7 billion on August 31, 2026, up 13.8 percent from GBP 27.0 billion at March 31, 2026, although the company also expects the UK business adjusted operating profit to trail the prior period by 2 percent to 6 percent.
Consensus points higher
Investing.com lists a Strong Buy consensus based on four analysts, with an average 12-month target of GBP 768.75 and targets ranging from GBP 715 to GBP 810. The published consensus uses GBP target values, while the London share price is quoted in GBp, so the two price scales are kept separate.
Investec's group return on equity guidance for the six months ending September 30, 2026, is 13.1 percent to 13.5 percent, and return on tangible equity is projected at 15.0 percent to 15.5 percent. The UK segment remains the counterweight to Southern African growth, making the geographic split important when the interim figures arrive.
