Rating:57Neutral
Price Target:
13,352.00 p
▲(3.91% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:06/13/26
The score is held back primarily by weakening 2026 financial performance (margin compression, lower ROE, and higher leverage) and bearish technicals (negative MACD, very low RSI, and price below key moving averages). These risks are partially offset by a very low P/E valuation and improved 2026 cash flow versus 2025.
Positive Factors
Mutual ownership supports capital retention
Nationwide’s mutual structure removes external shareholder dividends as a recurring cash drain. Retaining earnings can support capital resilience, technology investment and member pricing, strengthening the franchise over the medium term.
Negative Factors
Sharp profitability deterioration
The latest earnings decline indicates that profitability is vulnerable to margin pressure and changing banking conditions. Lower income and returns reduce internal capital generation, potentially constraining investment and member pricing flexibility.
