    May 26, 2026, 3:26 PM EDT. Barclays (LSE: BARC) shares fell 5.2% in 2026 amid geopolitical tensions from the Iran war, reducing a £9,999 investment made on January 1 to £9,479. Despite this, the FTSE 100 rose 5.7% in the same period. Barclays reported steady underlying pre-tax profits with £9.1 billion in 2025 and a 3% increase in Q1 2026 profits to £2.8 billion, though costs and a £228 million charge linked to the collapse of Market Financial Solutions weighed on results. The bank anticipates returning over £15 billion to shareholders between 2026-2028 via buybacks and dividends, with forecast yields of 3.4% in 2026, rising to 4.1% in 2027. Shares trade at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 8.6, signaling value amid market volatility. Investors see potential for long-term growth despite risks from global economic uncertainty.
