NatWest Group (NWG): news on Tuesday 3 November 2026
News from the 24 hours to Tuesday morning, 3 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 a revenue shortfall, disappointing margin guidance and a share price fall prompting cautious broker notes and some forecast cuts. Strong wealth management income growth and a maintained outlook offered some offset.
What drove it
- Q3 results
- analyst downgrades
- share price fall
