This summary was created by AI, based on 1 opinions in the last 12 months.

Barclays Bank PLC, while recognized as a significant player in the banking sector, is generally not perceived as a global powerhouse on par with US firms such as Morgan Stanley and Bank of America. The sentiment suggests that its standing in the global market is somewhat limited compared to its more prominent rivals, particularly in the context of deregulation in the US banking industry, which tends to provide American banks with competitive advantages. Consequently, opinions on Barclays may reflect a cautious approach regarding its growth potential and market presence relative to these larger institutions. Experts appear to view Barclays as a respected brand, but its global impact and expansion capabilities are seen as needing improvement to reach the levels of its major competitors.

Consensus

Neutral

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

Citi, C

BUY

Likes the foreign banks. Canadian banks are the most expensive in the world and growth rates are not substantial.

TOP PICK

Sold his Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) to buy this because it was his most international holding. After Nov 1, Canadian banks moved up very sharply. This is 25%-30% cheaper than Canadian banks. Almost 4% yield. 10 X earnings.

COMMENT

Will be very attractive when it has a very compelling yield. Have a dominant and Premier position in the world of banking. Focus on when its yield is going high which is a great entry point.

TOP PICK

More of a growth stock. Sells at a cheaper multiple than Canadian banks and has a better yield. 2.6% yield.

BUY

Likes this and could own in the future. Financials are probably a pretty good area to be invested in right now.

WAIT

UK banks are much cheaper than continental European ones. Have a large credit card and UK retail business. Very well run. Under valued. Good management. Up on rumours of a takeover. Wait for things to settle down.

BUY

Operationally they continue to do well. As the pound sterling continues to appreciate, it is moving up the share price.

TOP PICK

10-12% growth. Trading at about 8.5 X next year's earnings. Good yield. Growing faster than Canadian banks and sells at a lower multiple. Gives international exposure.

HOLD

5% dividend yield. AA credit rating.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 28/05. Up 13%.) Growth is better than in domestic banks. Outlook continues to be good.

TOP PICK

We have to start looking beyond our borders in the banking area. English banks generally sell at lower multiples and have higher yields. This one is an international bank.

BUY

Likes its prospects. Compared to North American banks, it's got a lower multiple, better growth prospects and a higher yield. The US$ has strengthened in the last few months and because this is an English bank, it has suffered. 6% dividend.

BUY

Prefers over the large international US banks.

TRADE

Had a good run up, probably due to the rumours on Citi Bank acquiring them.

BUY

Rumors of a takeover bid by Citibank. Price is increasing on these rumors. 5% dividend.
