NatWest Group (GB00BM8PJY71) withdrew its Markets securities business from the US primary dealers list on October 16, 2026, according to MarketScreener. The strategic change comes before the bank reports third-quarter results on October 30, 2026.

Strong second-quarter earnings

NatWest's second-quarter performance provides the main financial context. The bank reported attributable profit of GBP 1.60 billion for the second quarter of 2026, compared with GBP 1.43 billion in the first quarter, while diluted earnings per share rose to GBP 0.40 from GBP 0.36, according to Yahoo Finance.

Operating profit increased 12.40 percent to GBP 2.30 billion, while the cost-income ratio improved to 45.50 percent. Return on tangible equity reached 21 percent.

What does the next report test?

The October 30 update will show whether the earnings profile held after the strong first half. NatWest raised its full-year return on tangible equity guidance to more than 19 percent in its first-half presentation, while customer assets and liabilities increased 13.40 percent, including the completed Evelyn Partners acquisition, according to Yahoo Finance. The bank also said its next buyback announcement would accompany its full-year results in February.

Key dates for NatWest
