Roche stock ends week higher after earnings and dividend bump — what investors watch next

Roche shares closed Friday at 350.70 francs, up 1.1%, after reporting 2025 sales of 61.5 billion francs, a 7% rise at constant exchange rates. Core operating profit grew 13% to 21.8 billion francs, but only 5% in francs, missing expectations due to currency effects. The company proposed a dividend hike to 9.80 francs per share. Investors await key neurology data and a shareholder vote on March 10.

  • NatWest Group Completes Share Buyback in March 2026
    April 2, 2026, 2:02 PM EDT. NatWest Group plc repurchased 585,080 ordinary shares in late March as part of its ongoing buyback programme, executing trades through UBS AG on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and BATS exchange. Shares were bought at prices ranging from 534 to 550 pence per share. The company plans to cancel these shares, decreasing total shares outstanding but increasing treasury holdings to 194.9 million. With 7.98 billion shares still issued excluding treasury stock, NatWest's move aims to enhance shareholder value by reducing share count. The buyback reflects the company's capital management strategy as outlined in February 2026.
