Three target moves in October

On October 1, 2026, Citi raised its M&G target from GBp 295.00 to GBp 328.00 and kept a Neutral rating, according to Markets Insider.

On October 6, 2026, JPMorgan lowered its target from GBp 335.00 to GBp 310.00 and kept an Underweight rating, as Markets Insider reported.

Later on October 6, 2026, Goldman Sachs maintained Hold and set a GBp 318.00 target, according to Markets Insider.

What does the target split mean?

The three targets span GBp 310.00 to GBp 328.00, placing Goldman Sachs at the middle of the October range. The GBp 318.00 target is 4.50 percent above the LSE quote of GBp 304.30 at 12:43 p.m. London time on October 8, 2026, calculated from the finance quote and the analyst target.

Dividend date adds a cash marker

M&G's interim dividend of GBp 6.80 is scheduled for payment on October 16, 2026, according to AJ Bell. The same listing data show a market capitalization of GBP 7.4 billion as of October 7, 2026, giving the analyst targets and dividend a concrete valuation backdrop.
