Shares in UK banks jump after car loan court ruling
The Supreme Court, in a ruling on Friday after markets closed, largely overturned earlier judgements that had found it unlawful for car dealers to earn a commission on loans stretching back to 2007 in which borrowers had not been properly informed about the payments. While the court upheld one of the three cases, it narrowed the overall grounds for claims, offering relief to banks that had been bracing for widespread payouts from millions of car buyers. Shares in Lloyds Banking Group jumped seven percent and Barclays rose two percent in early trading on London's benchmark FTSE 100 index. Close Brothers saw its stock surge more than 20 percent on the FTSE 250 after the court ruled in its favour in one of the cases reviewed. The Supreme Court overturned rulings on two of the three cases but upheld one, based on specific circumstances -- including the high level of commission charged and the complexity of the contract involved. Lloyds said on Monday the decision was unlikely to have an impact on the bank as it had already set aside nearly £1.2 billion ($1.6 billion) in preparation for the ruling. Britain's financial watchdog said on Sunday it would consult on a redress scheme for affected consumers and warned banks could still face more than £9 billion ($12 billion) in compensation payments. That figure, however, is far lower than the £44-billion bill expected by some analysts before the ruling. The Financial Conduct Authority estimated most individuals will probably receive less than £950 in compensation. In some cases, the loans -- available from 2007 to 2021 -- allowed car dealers to offer higher interest rates in return for a bigger commission from banks. The ruling means that dealers have some leeway when arranging loans, without requiring explicit consent from borrowers for terms that may benefit lenders. © 2025 AFP

UK lenders face $12 bn plus compensation bill despite court ruling: watchdog
The Supreme Court on Friday partially overturned judgments that the loans were unlawful, giving relief to banks which had been bracing for compensation claims from millions of car-buyers. It did, however, uphold one of the three cases, which allows the claimant to seek compensation. And in a similar but separate probe, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said that the cost of any redress scheme relating to discretionary commission arrangements for car loans would likely be higher than £9 billion. "While there are plausible scenarios which underpin estimates of a total cost as high as £18 billion, we do not consider those scenarios to be the most likely and analyst estimates in the midpoint of this range are more plausible," the FCA said in a statement. The FCA estimates that most individuals will probably receive less than £950 in compensation. The court ruling had given the FCA "clarity... because we have been looking at what is unfair and, prior to this judgment, there were different interpretations of the law coming from different courts," it said. "It is clear that some firms have broken the law and our rules. It's fair for their customers to be compensated," said Nikhil Rathi, chief executive of the FCA. The Supreme Court decision mostly overturned Court of Appeal rulings last year that it was unlawful for car dealers to receive a commission on loans without sufficiently informing borrowers. In some cases, the loans -- available from 2007 -- allowed car dealers to offer higher interest rates in return for a bigger commission from banks. The ruling means that dealers have some leeway when arranging loans, without requiring explicit consent from borrowers for terms that may benefit lenders. The case that was upheld involved Marcus Johnson, who in 2017 bought a Suzuki Swift from a car dealer in Cardiff for £6,500 including loan costs -- unaware that interest on the loan amount would fund a commission of more than £1,600. When the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Johnson, ordering FirstRand Bank, a South African based lender, to refund the commission plus interest, it sparked panic across the finance sector. That ruling was upheld by the top court due to the high level of commission Johnson was charged and the complexity of the contract setting out the fee, which limits the scope of other compensation claims.

Burberry tops list of UK M&A targets in new Bloomberg survey
British companies, including Burberry Group Plc, dominate the ranks of European-listed firms seen as potential takeover targets, with discounted UK equity valuations making them increasingly attractive to buyers. London-listed stocks account for about 60% of companies mentioned in an informal survey conducted by Bloomberg News in July. The poll included 44 risk-arbitrage desks, traders, and analysts. Burberry, the iconic trench coat maker, was the most frequently cited company, selected seven times. UK stocks have remained favored M&A targets over the past year, partly due to their relative undervaluation compared to international peers. This has led to a series of delistings that have further reduced the size of the local stock market. London's FTSE 100 Index trades about 13% below the Euro Stoxx 50 Index and 41% below the S&P 500, based on valuation relative to earnings forecasts. In Burberry's case, there are signs that the brand is beginning to deliver on its turnaround plan under Chief Executive Officer Joshua Schulman. After back-to-back annual declines of 30%, the stock has risen 32% in 2025. According to Emmanuel Valavanis, an equity sales specialist at Forte Securities in London, Burberry's brand equity could be attractive to a larger luxury group 'not afraid to pay up for bolt-on growth and an iconic label.' However, the transformation is not yet complete. 'Burberry's renewal effort still needs more work,' said Graham Simpson of Canaccord Genuity Quest, adding that a potential suitor would likely focus on extracting synergies. BP Plc and Anglo American Plc also featured among the leading UK takeover candidates, consistent with their inclusion in a similar January survey. Rightmove Plc, the online property portal, received four mentions after drawing multiple bids last year from Rupert Murdoch's REA Group. UK dealmaking 'roared back' in the second quarter, said Patrick Sarch, head of UK public M&A at law firm White & Case LLP, in July. 'We anticipate more bids for UK companies from US and corporate bidders, and that the financial services, infrastructure, natural resources, and tech sectors will continue to be active,' Sarch added. Outside the UK, the recent trade agreement between the European Union and the United States is expected to 'encourage corporates to go ahead with planned transactions,' according to Eric Meyer, head of RBC Capital Markets in Paris. Among continental names, Carrefour SA was a frequently mentioned target, cited four times by respondents. The supermarket chain is currently reviewing its portfolio to improve its valuation and recently divested its struggling Italian business. European banking M&A also remains active, continuing a trend from 2024. Commerzbank AG was again a popular name in the latest survey. UniCredit SpA, which has expressed interest in acquiring Commerzbank, increased its stake to about 20% this month. The move makes UniCredit the bank's largest shareholder, overtaking the German government, which remains opposed to a takeover. 'Bank deals are becoming more complicated,' said Nicolas Marmurek, co-head of special situations at Square Global Markets. 'Successful bidders will need strategy, timing, and just the right dose of political finesse.'
