The bank will act as its own stabilizing manager for the securities issuance. The securities involved are GBP Benchmark short 7NC6 fixed-to-floating rate notes. Stabilization actions may include, over-allotting the securities, effecting market transactions to support the market price of the bonds above the level that might otherwise prevail, or all actions strictly in accordance with UK and EU market abuse and securities regulations.

Separately, the bank published its Q3 2025 financial report on October 30, in which revenue came in at $6.88 billion, above projections of $6.51 billion (a 5.68% beat). EPS was also outstanding, coming in at $0.70 against the expected $0.65 (a 7.69% beat). Much of the momentum came from strong results in cash loans and mortgages. However, corporate lending offset a substantial portion of the gains as it remained subdued due to what the bank attributed to economic uncertainty.
