Shares of global bank Barclays are forecast to more than double over the next 12 months, according to Jefferies. The British bank's stock has underperformed and is valued below its peers over the past few months. The disparity has led to the bank reportedly hiring consulting firm BCG to undertake a strategic review to address weaknesses in the share price. The bank's analysts predict that Barclays can potentially buy back £2.2 billion worth of shares in 2024 and 2025, along with £1.5 billion this year. As the bank's earnings increase, its share price could also rise, providing a better return for shareholders.

Amplats shares fall after power outages dim outlook
  + stars: | 2023-02-20 | by ( Nelson Banya | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Amplats' shares were down 3.1% by 1130 GMT, having hit their lowest since early October 2020 earlier in the session. Amplats Chief Executive Officer Natascha Viljoen on Monday said South Africa's electricity crisis and the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine would lead to a decline in global PGM supply. Rising interest rates and a strong dollar typically result in lower prices for PGM, especially platinum, Amplats said. South Africa, the world's top PGM producer, is experiencing extended electricity cuts as coal-fired generating plants suffer frequent breakdowns, meaning Amplats's refined PGM output could fall by 5% in 2023, Viljoen said. Amplats declared a total dividend of 115 rand per share, down from 300 rand per share last year, returning $1.66 billion to shareholders.
