- NatWest stock has gained materially since the latest relevant report published on November 3.
- NatWest Markets reported lower quarterly profit as income fell and litigation costs increased.
- Capital and liquidity remained central issues after the third-quarter update.
NatWest stock traded at 7.37 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 17:42 CET on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. That was 6.35% above the 6.93-euro quote in the latest relevant ad-hoc-news report published on November 3, separating the latest move from the day's Xetra close.
The fresh market focus follows NatWest Markets' third-quarter interim management statement, published on October 30. The statement, carried by Finanznachrichten, said NatWest Markets made a profit of 6 million pounds in the third quarter, down from 49 million pounds in the second quarter and 126 million pounds a year earlier.
NatWest Markets Faces Mixed Quarter
NatWest Markets' total income fell to 350 million pounds from 436 million pounds in the second quarter, largely because a foreign-exchange reserves recycling credit had boosted the prior period. Lower Fixed Income revenue, reduced customer activity and lower foreign-exchange volatility also weighed on performance.
Operating expenses declined to 335 million pounds from 399 million pounds in the second quarter, but litigation and conduct costs rose to 47 million pounds. For the nine months through September, total income reached 1.142 billion pounds, while operating expenses rose to 1.087 billion pounds.
The unit's capital position also moved lower. Its Common Equity Tier 1 ratio stood at 17.0% at September 30, compared with 18.4% at December 31, 2025. The average liquidity coverage ratio remained 204%, while the liquidity portfolio stood at 17.7 billion pounds.
What Investors Watch Next
The latest quote gives investors a sharper market reference after the third-quarter reporting cycle, but it does not by itself establish a causal link between the results and the share-price move. Attention is likely to remain on income trends, conduct costs, capital distribution and the group's outlook.
