NWG Stock Recent News

Dividends are one of the best benefits to being a shareholder, but finding a great dividend stock is no easy task. Does NatWest (NWG) have what it takes?

Investors looking for stocks in the Banks - Foreign sector might want to consider either NatWest Group (NWG) or Nordea Bank AB (NRDBY). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors?

Amid market jitters and tariff threats, low-leverage picks like NWG, ZION, INGR, KINS and LXFR offer safer growth potential.

Shore Capital says NatWest Group PLC (LSE:NWG) second quarter results have once again outpaced market forecasts, prompting the bank's management to raise its full-year targets. Return on tangible equity (RoTE) for the period came in at 17.7%, comfortably ahead of expectations, and NatWest now expects to deliver at least 16.5% for the year as a whole.

NatWest delivered strong Q2 2025 results, clearing analyst expectations on both revenue and profit, and delivering a healthy 17.7% return on tangible equity. The bank's structural hedge continues to reprice into the prevailing yield environment, which is contributing to strong growth in net interest income and earnings. With the shares still trading for less than 1.5x tangible net asset value, the valuation remains attractive.
