NatWest Group (NWG): news on Thursday 15 October 2026
+4.5 positive
Coverage was mainly positive, led by the Nvidia AI speech partnership and Barclays raising its price target for the shares. Routine $1bn note issuance, mortgage rate cuts and branch investment added mild support, while a poor local branch rating and a weak Scottish growth tracker were minor negatives.
