  • Should You Buy Barclays Shares If You Already Hold Lloyds?
    April 5, 2026, 4:47 PM EDT. Barclays and Lloyds have shown strong, similar gains recently, benefiting from higher interest rates boosting their profit margins. Barclays posted pre-tax profits of £9.1bn in 2025, while Lloyds made £6.7bn. Barclays has outperformed over three years, rising 180% compared to Lloyds' 105%, due to its diversified international and investment banking activities versus Lloyds' UK-focused model. Barclays trades at a lower forward P/E of 7.75 than Lloyds at 9.95, making it a bargain but with more risk from exposure to private equity pressures. Dividend yields favor Lloyds with a forward yield of 4.3% versus Barclays' 3.5%. Barclays shares can be more volatile, down 15% in three months, while Lloyds remained flat, reflecting different risk profiles.
