Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on Barclays (NYSE: BCS), PT 268p
Analyst, Robert Law, said, "Financials have rallied as we have seen the tail risk abate from the sector and running into the LTRO we see limited inclination by investors to sell the rally. While Barclays has outperformed the sector by c17% YTD and is susceptible to some profit taking, we are more inclined to think that it could sustain recent strength in the run up to LTRO II. We assume revenues to be flat relative to Q311 at GBP 1,984m, adjusting for the hedge gains that we estimate to be GBP c270m for BarCap. We have modeled cost income ratio of c82% for Q411 and c71% for FY11. Overall we expect Barclays to report a Q411 operating PBT of GBP 1,077m."
