Investec (ISIN GB00B17BBQ50) projected adjusted earnings per share of 41.7p to 43.3p for the six months ending September 30, 2026, representing 3 percent to 7 percent growth from 40.5p. The forecast appeared in the group's pre-close trading statement dated September 18, 2026, published by Investegate.
What does the forecast mean?
The forecast gives investors a defined earnings range rather than a single point estimate. Investec also expected headline earnings per share of 38.1p to 39.7p, compared with 36.7p in the first half of fiscal 2026, while basic earnings per share was projected at the same 38.1p to 39.7p range versus 37.8p.
Pre-provision adjusted operating profit was expected at GBP 531.4 million to GBP 548.4 million, against GBP 527.4 million in the prior period. Adjusted operating profit before tax was projected at GBP 479.2 million to GBP 496.2 million, compared with GBP 468.1 million previously.
Three milestones shape the outlook
On September 18, 2026, Investec reported a forecast adjusted operating profit range of GBP 531.4 million to GBP 548.4 million for the first half of fiscal 2027. On September 22, 2026, its share incentive plan acquired 270,544 shares across two transactions, according to Investegate.
On September 25, 2026, the same plan acquired 176,908 shares at ZAR 131.7253, bringing the disclosed transactions between September 22 and September 25, 2026 to 562,167 shares. The transaction disclosure identified Investec plc's LSE ticker as INVP and linked the security to the requested ISIN.
When are the next results?
Investec's interim results for the six months ending September 30, 2026 are scheduled for November 19, 2026, according to the Investec investor-relations page. The report will test whether the projected 3 percent to 7 percent adjusted earnings per share increase was achieved and whether the regional split held.
Regional split remains material
Core loans increased 6.3 percent annualized in neutral currency to GBP 37.0 billion during the five months ended August 31, 2026, while customer deposits rose 2.8 percent annualized to GBP 46.0 billion. Southern African Wealth funds under management increased 13.8 percent from March 31, 2026 to GBP 30.7 billion, but the UK business was expected to post adjusted operating profit 2 percent to 6 percent below the prior period.
