Positive Factors

Broad-Based Customer GrowthGrowth across lending, deposits and customer balances indicates broad demand across NatWest’s three businesses rather than reliance on one product. Continued expansion can deepen relationships, improve scale and support recurring income over the next several quarters.

Negative Factors

Persistent Margin PressureFlat net interest margin limits the ability of loan growth to translate into faster revenue expansion. Mortgage repricing, lending mix and increased wholesale funding may continue offsetting structural-hedge benefits, keeping profitability dependent on volume and cost discipline.

NatWest Group Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Oct 29, 2026(Q3-2026)|% Change Since:-8.86%|Next Earnings Date:Feb 11, 2027

Earnings Call SentimentPositive

The call was strongly positive overall. NatWest reported broad-based balance-sheet growth, improving operating leverage, strong earnings and returns, resilient credit performance, high capital generation, and a robust capital and liquidity position. The main challenges were broadly stable margins, higher quarterly impairments, deposit growth lagging lending growth, mortgage-margin pressure, and a planned Q4 cost step-up, but management maintained its guidance and expressed confidence in continued growth and returns.

Positive Updates

Strong Customer Balance Growth

Customer assets and liabilities grew 14.2% in Q3, well above the target of more than 4%, while customer lending increased 7.7% and deposits grew 4.3%. Management said growth was disciplined and broad-based across all three businesses.

Negative Updates

Net Interest Margin Remains Broadly Flat

Net interest margin was broadly stable at 250 basis points in Q3, as deposit-margin expansion was offset by mortgage repricing, lending mix, and the annual review of customer repayment habits. Management expects NIM to remain broadly stable through 2027, with lower-margin lending, increased wholesale funding, and mix effects offsetting structural-hedge benefits.

Company Guidance

2026 guidance remains unchanged, with one enhancement: full-year income, excluding notable items, of around GBP 17.9 billion; other operating expenses of around GBP 8.5 billion, including around GBP 300 million of costs from the Evelyn Partners acquisition; impairment below 25 basis points, with 20-30 basis points through the cycle; capital generation before distributions and the impact of Evelyn Partners of more than 240 basis points in 2026; a CET1 ratio of around 13%; and risk-weighted assets of around GBP 210 billion as at January 1, 2027. The group expects customer balance growth in line with greater than 4% CAL growth, NIM to be flatter in H2 and broadly stable through 2027, Bank of England bank rates to remain at 4% throughout 2027, the five-year swap rate to moderate to a 4% average for 2027, structural hedge income to be more than GBP 1 billion higher in 2027 versus 2026 and contribute over GBP 7 billion into the income line, and the mortgage book margin to settle around 60 basis points for the year.
