  • Lloyds shares look undervalued after 19% drop, fair value estimated at £1.80
    April 1, 2026, 7:45 AM EDT. Lloyds Banking Group's shares have fallen 19% since February but continue delivering strong financials, including rising profits, revenue, and controlled costs. The bank's £1.75 billion share buyback plan in 2025 supports earnings per share growth and dividend increases, with yields expected to reach up to 5.7% by 2028-well above the FTSE 100 average of 3.1%. A discounted cash flow analysis values the stock at around £1.80, implying a 49% undervaluation at current prices near 92p. Risks include a slowing UK economy and regulatory changes, but analysts forecast 12.1% annual earnings growth, supported by a 12% rise in 2025 profit before tax to £6.7 billion. Lloyds also raised its return on tangible equity target to over 16% for 2026, highlighting solid profitability.
