Nationwide Building Society

(LSE:NBS)

Select Model
Rating:67.2Neutral
Price Target:GBP 14,009.00â–²(12.52% Upside)
Action:reiterated
Date:08/18/26

The overall score reflects a fundamentally sound but cyclical financial profile, with consistent profitability and a stronger balance sheet offset by recent margin pressure and volatile cash flows, supported by an exceptionally low earnings-based valuation that makes the shares look inexpensive, while neutral-to-slightly-weak technicals and very low volatility suggest limited near-term momentum rather than a clear uptrend.

Positive Factors
Mutual ownership modelMember ownership aligns retained profits with capital strength and member value rather than shareholder dividends. This model can support reinvestment in savings and mortgage pricing while reinforcing Nationwide’s retail focus over the medium term.
Negative Factors
Recent earnings deteriorationThe latest annual results show a material weakening in profitability, with lower revenue, sharply compressed margins, and substantially reduced net income. If this downshift persists, it could reduce capital accumulation and limit the resources available for member pricing and growth.
