LONDON — Barclays on Tuesday reported a internet profit of £1.27 billion ($1.56 billion) for the third quarter, barely forward of expectations as strong ends in its shopper and credit card companies compensated for weakening funding financial institution revenues.
Analysts polled by Reuters had produced a consensus forecast of £1.18 billion, down from £1.33 billion within the second quarter and £1.51 billion for a similar interval in 2022.
Here are different highlights for the quarter:

Barclays CEO C.S. Venkatakrishnan mentioned the financial institution “continued to handle credit nicely, remained disciplined on prices and maintained a strong capital place” towards a “blended market backdrop.”
“We see additional alternatives to boost returns for shareholders via price efficiencies and disciplined capital allocation throughout the Group.”
Barclays will set out its capital allocation priorities and revised monetary targets in an investor replace alongside its full-year earnings, he added.
Barclays’ company and funding financial institution (CIB) noticed earnings lower by 6% to £3.1 billion, with the financial institution citing diminished consumer exercise in world markets and funding banking charges.
This was principally offset by a 9% income improve in its shopper, playing cards and funds (CC&P) business to £1.4 billion, reflecting larger balances on U.S. playing cards and a switch of the wealth administration and investments (WM&I) division from Barclays U.Ok.
The financial institution didn’t announce any new returns of capital to shareholders after July’s £750 million share buyback announcement.
