Banco Santander has rejected an offer of around 11 billion pounds ($14.63 billion) from NatWest for its UK retail bank, saying the bid undervalued the business, the Financial Times reported on Friday.
Shares of British bank NatWest Group have continued their outstanding run, with the ADSs now up around 30% so far in 2025. First quarter results were excellent, with the bank beating on both revenue and earnings, with the latter mapping to an incredibly strong high-teens return on tangible equity. NatWest shares trade for roughly 1.4x tangible net asset value. Given the strength of its earnings, this remains justified.
With a 26% YTD rise, NatWest's strong performance outperformed US banks and aligns with European peers, reflecting resilience amid market volatility. The bank's robust financials include a 2.27% net interest margin, a 13.8% CET1 ratio, and a projected 16% return on equity. Strategic moves like reducing government stake, acquiring Metro Bank assets, and collaborating with OpenAI enhance NatWest's growth and operational efficiency.
