The British bank rolled out plans for a £750 million share buyback in the first half of 2026. Assets under management and administration climbed 20% to £58.5 billion, not counting the Evelyn acquisition. “We are raising our ambition and sharpening our strategic focus, with stretching new targets in place,” said chief executive Paul Thwaite.

  • Sensex Sheds 10.3% in H1, Worst Start to Year Since 2020; Nifty Down 8.7% as IT Lags, FPIs Exit
    July 1, 2026, 1:07 AM EDT. Sensex lost 10.3% in the first half, the sharpest drop for H1 since 2020. Nifty fell 8.7%, its biggest H1 slide since 2022, with both benchmarks hit by selling in tech and foreign outflows. The Nifty IT index tumbled 31%-its worst six months since 2003. Smallcaps and midcaps fared better, adding 6.5% and 2.2% on demand from retail buyers and cheaper valuations. FPIs pulled $29.3 billion from Indian stocks in H1 2026, mostly out of largecaps, while DIIs bought ₹4.63 trillion ($49 billion) and helped stem the slide. Analysts pointed to valuation gaps, geopolitical risk, US tariff concerns, oil prices, and a weak rupee as pressures.
