(Sharecast News) - Arbuthnot Banking Group said on Thursday that it expected to report full-year pre-tax profits at the upper end of market expectations after a stronger performance in the final quarter of 2025.
In a pre-close trading update issued ahead of its results for the year ended 31 December, due on 26 March, the AIM-traded group said it had made "good progress" in the fourth quarter.
As a result, Arbuthnot expected to deliver pre-tax profits at the upper end of current consensus forecasts, which it believed stood in a range of £22m to £24m.
The lender did not provide further financial detail in the statement but indicated that trading momentum into the year-end had supported performance in line with, or slightly ahead of, market expectations.
At 0918 GMT, shares in Arbuthnot Banking Group were up 2,98% at 898.5p.
