It is Barclays' policy to declare and pay dividends on a semi-annual basis. The 2025 full year dividend of 5.6p per ordinary share was paid on 31 March 2026 to the shareholders on the Share Register on 20 February 2026. A half year dividend for 2026 of 5.9p (H125: 3.0p) per ordinary share will be paid on 15 September 2026. For qualifying American Depositary Receipt (ADR) holders, the half year dividend of 5.9p per ordinary share becomes 23.6p per American Depositary Share (ADS) (representing four shares). The depositary bank will post the half year dividend on 15 September 2026 to ADR holders on the record at close of business on 7 August 2026. The Directors have confirmed their intention to initiate a share buyback of up to £1,000m after the balance sheet date. The share buyback is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2026. The financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2026 do not reflect the impact of the proposed share buyback, which will be accounted for as and when shares are repurchased by the Company.
