NATWEST GROUP PLC
NatWest Group PLC (ticker: NWG) is a UK-focused banking group whose brands serve retail, commercial and private clients across the UK and Ireland. With a market capitalisation of about $57.7 billion, the bank earns most revenue from net interest income, fees and lending activity. Investors should note its exposure to UK economic cycles, interest-rate movements and credit risk, as well as ongoing regulatory and capital requirements. Recent strategic priorities include strengthening capital ratios, simplifying the business and investing in digital services. The stock may appeal to those seeking bank-sector exposure, but performance can vary with economic conditions; dividends depend on profitability and regulatory allowances.
