IAG stock falls 1.3% after British Airways owner names insider as next CFO

London, January 9, 2026, 11:27 GMT — Regular session International Consolidated Airlines Group (IAG) shares fell on Friday after the British Airways owner named Jose Antonio Barrionuevo as its next chief financial officer, a shift that lands as the airline group grapples with weaker performance in its U.S. markets. The stock was down 1.3% at 430 pence by 1127 GMT. (Reuters) Top jobs do not always move an airline stock on their own.

LONDON, Jan 9, 2026, 11:32 GMT — Regular session Vodafone shares slipped on Friday, down 0.7% at 102.9 pence by 1105 GMT, easing after a Berenberg upgrade earlier in the week.

NatWest share price today: NWG slips as buyback ticks on and Barclays cools ahead of Feb results

London, January 9, 2026, 11:38 GMT — Regular session NatWest Group Plc (NWG.L) shares eased on Friday, down 0.3% at 642.4 pence, as investors weighed the pace of the bank’s buyback and a recent broker downgrade.

Buybacks and dividends can lift earnings per share by shrinking the share count, but they hinge on how much surplus capital the bank can generate and keep. The next big marker is close. NatWest is
