Barclays PLC stock (GB0031348658) is quoted at 491.15p, down 0.26% on August 25, 2026, while market value stands at £66.05 billion and the year range spans 352.85p to 538.30p.
The latest trade snapshot from AJ Bell also shows volume of 1,154,817 shares and a previous close of 492.60p, giving investors a clean same-day reference point before the next reporting date.
Trading range and valuation
The same quote page puts Barclays at a P/E ratio of 10.20 and a dividend yield of 2.33%, with the latest cash dividend set at 5.90p against 5.60p previously. That is a 5.4% increase in the dividend amount, a concrete comparison that matters for income investors.
On the performance line, Barclays has a 1-day total return of 0.74% versus 0.64% for the FTSE 100 as of August 21, 2026, so the stock has held a slight lead over the index in that snapshot.
Business and balance sheet

At the end of 2025, the group said it managed GBP 565.2 billion in current deposits and GBP 337.9 billion in current credits, which gives a scale reference for the loan and funding base behind the share price.
