Company Report

Barclays Is a Good Retail Franchise Stuck With an Investment Bank

In the U.K., Barclays operates what we believe to be a strong retail franchise underpinned by a market-leading share in credit cards. The international segment is dominated by a bulge-bracket investment bank, one of the last full-service global investment banks headquartered in Europe. It also includes a credit card and current account business in the U.S. and a global wholesale banking operation. Both segments contribute about equally to income.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Performance in its investment bank does not compensate for the high capital intensity in this business.
