Close Brothers Group ( (GB:CBG) ) has issued an update.
Close Brothers Group has reviewed the potential financial impact of the Financial Conduct Authority’s proposed industry-wide redress scheme for motor finance commissions. The company has increased its provision to approximately £300 million, reflecting a higher likelihood of historical cases qualifying for redress and potentially higher compensation levels. Despite the additional charge, Close Brothers remains confident in its capital strength, with a CET1 ratio significantly above regulatory requirements. The group plans to continue engaging with the FCA regarding the proposed redress methodology, which it believes does not align with actual customer loss or legal precedents.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CBG) stock is a Hold with a £500.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Close Brothers Group stock, see the GB:CBG Stock Forecast page.
