NatWest Group (NWG): news on Monday 2 November 2026
News from the 24 hours to Monday morning, 2 November 2026.
Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage centred on the third-quarter results, with strong profit and returns offset by a share price fall and analyst questions over margins and the loan book. Smaller stories on community work and a customer scam warning had little overall effect.
What drove it
- Q3 results
- share price reaction
- community initiatives
