NatWest shares up as UK rate moves draw buyers to banks

NatWest Group Plc shares pushed higher Thursday, gaining 7.40p, or 1.26%, to trade at 593.40p/593.60p, according to delayed Hargreaves Lansdown prices. Investors bought back into UK financials, putting NatWest near the top of the UK bank movers as the FTSE 100 showed a 0.80% rise on the same feed. Rate expectations drove much of the action. NatWest’s UK focus puts it right in the path of the Bank of England’s rate decisions, which is why investors pay such close attention. AJ Bell says about 90% of NatWest’s total income comes from the UK. That means UK rate moves feed more directly into its lending numbers compared with banks with more global business.

Diageo Stock Moves Up After Chair Buys Shares, Morgan Stanley Stays Cautious

Diageo plc was up 0.56% at 1,515.50p in London by 14:00 BST Thursday as the market digested a small share buy by Chair Sir John Manzoni and a new price-target cut from Morgan Stanley.

National Grid Shares Up After UK Grid Reform and £70bn Growth Plan

National Grid shares climbed in London Thursday, as investors saw signs Britain’s backed-up electricity-connection queue may be moving. That speaks directly to the case for owning one of the FTSE 100’s largest regulated utilities. The stock was last at 1,211.00p, up 11.50p, or 0.96%, on lagged data at 12:47 BST, after closing at 1,199.50p. National Grid shares moved after the National Energy System Operator, not the company itself, made an announcement. NESO said Wednesday that it has now issued more than half of the connection offers for transmission and distribution projects planned before 2030. That’s a shift for a stock that’s tied to grid demand becoming approved assets on the balance sheet.)

Mitie trades flat at 161p after Home Office claims ahead of buyback

Mitie Group PLC shares edged up in London on Thursday after news of alleged racism and hate speech among staff on immigration contracts surfaced, putting more reputational risk in focus for investors alongside the company’s strong order book and its £100 million buyback. Shares traded at 160.90p, up 0.30p, or 0.19%, based on delayed LSEG data from Investors Chronicle at 12:44 BST. Mitie’s change was minor, but timing is key. After the company spent last week pushing investors to look at cash generation, margins, and returns following its FY26 results on June 4, Thursday’s development looks different: it concerns the public-sector contracts that support Mitie’s order book.
