NatWest's week was dominated by Q3 2026 results and their aftermath. The bank reported attributable profit of £1.5 billion and a Return on Tangible Equity of 21.6%, with CEO Paul Thwaite citing broad-based growth across all three customer franchises, alongside customer assets and liabilities growing 14.2% and full-year guidance reaffirmed. Despite the strong headline figures, Deutsche Bank flagged a third-quarter revenue shortfall, forecasting a 1% reduction in 2026 consensus estimates and cautioning on ambitious 2027 expectations. Separately, NatWest completed its £750 million share buyback programme, repurchasing 121.9 million shares at an average price of 615.09 pence for cancellation, and also announced cancellation of a further 6,842,041 ordinary shares bought from UBS AG.
NWG closed at $16.55, down between its 50-day average of $17.79 and 200-day average of $17.04, with a one-month return of -6.3% and a three-month return of -13.1%, though the one-year return stands at 6.9%. The GekkoIndex reads 63.9, placing the stock in the Accumulation zone, up 2.2 over five days. The price sits 14.1% below Gekko Fair Value of $19.27.
The next earnings date falls on 12 February 2027, 99 days out and beyond a typical 20-trading-day hold, following a last quarter where actual EPS of $0.46 beat the $0.38 estimate with a 2.5% reaction.

Seasonally, the next 20 trading days have averaged 8.9% over 5 years, rising in 4 of them, while the single analyst covering the stock holds a buy rating with a consensus target of $21.44.
