Barclays Launches Shiller Barclays CAPE® US SMID Sector IndexJune 24, 2026 9:55 AM
Business Wire The new index extends the Shiller Barclays CAPE® methodology to U.S. small and mid-cap (SMID) equities, offering systematic sector exposure with a value-oriented bias. Barclays today announced the launch of the Shiller Barclays CAPE® US SMID Sector Index, expanding its long-standing Shiller Barclays CAPE® index family to U.S. small and mid-cap equities. The index is designed to provide systematic exposure to U.S. SMID equity sectors using the Cyclically Adjusted Price Earnings (CAPE®) methodology developed by economist Professor Robert Shiller, targeting long term value opportunities across market cycles while incorporating momentum signals to help mitigate value traps. U.S. small and mid-cap equities have historically exhibited distinct valuation and revenue characteristics compared with large cap stocks, including greater exposure to domestic economic activity and differing valuation dynamics. In an environment of elevated market concentration and widening valuation dispersion, investors have increasingly reassessed allocations beyond traditional large cap indexes. The Shiller Barclays CAPE® US SMID Sector Index adapts the established Shiller Barclays CAPE® sector framework previously applied across U.S. large cap, global, European and Japanese equity markets to the SMID universe. It evaluates a defined set of U.S. SMID sectors using relative CAPE® measures and momentum indicators, selecting a subset of sectors and rebalancing at regular intervals in line with transparent, rules-based mechanics. The index is built on custom MSCI USA SMID Sector Indexes developed by MSCI, which provide the underlying sector universe for the Shiller Barclays CAPE® methodology. Benedict Redmond, Managing Director, Head of EMEA QIS Structuring: “The US mid and small cap area present an interesting opportunity for investors to get a different exposure to US markets. We are excited to see that our successful strategy, built together with Professor Shiller and team, can again provide investors a way to potentially outperform the wider market and be selective around what sectors they are exposed to.” Robert J. Shiller, Sterling Professor Emeritus of Economics, Yale University: “Much of the innovation that shapes the future economy begins in US smaller and mid-sized companies before it becomes widely recognized. This new index reflects the idea that careful attention to valuation, using the CAPE Ratio, may help investors gain exposure to parts of the American economy where entrepreneurial activity and long-term growth opportunities may exist." Axel Kilian, Chief Client Officer, MSCI: "The expansion of this index family into U.S. small and mid-cap equities is an exciting next step for one of the most academically distinguished index methodologies. We have invested significantly in creating and maintaining the long-dated sector data that makes this step possible, and we are proud that our custom MSCI USA SMID Sector Indexes provide the foundation for this launch.” About Barclays Our vision is to be the UK-centred leader in global finance.

Barclays Research Expects Humanoid Robots to Fundamentally Reshape the Real EconomyMay 19, 2026 9:15 AM
Business Wire In the 71st edition of its flagship Equity Gilt Study, Barclays Research analysts explore a new era of automation driven by physical AI, as humanoid robots extend AI from digital tasks into the real economy. In this year’s Equity Gilt Study, Barclays Research examines how physical AI will move beyond the digital realm and into the real economy, with humanoid robots set to reshape productivity, labour markets, geopolitics, and long-term asset returns. While equities delivered strong real returns in 2025, the report argues that the more important shift is structural, marked by higher capital investment, rising productivity, and a repricing of growth, inflation, and capital across regions and asset classes. At the centre of this shift is the emergence of humanoid robots. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260519764488/en/Barclays EGS 2026 “Humanoid robots represent the next frontier of AI, combining intelligence with physical capability,” said Ajay Rajadhyaksha, Global Chairman of Research. “Their effect could extend well beyond technology, reshaping the structure of the global economy.” Humanoid robots: the next frontier of automation Automation is entering its third phase, according to Barclays Research analysts. Humanoid robots, enabled by advances in artificial intelligence, mobility, and battery systems, are designed to operate in human environments; use existing tools; and perform full jobs, rather than isolated tasks. As the costs of producing the robots decline and deployment accelerates, Barclays Research estimates the market for humanoids could reach $200 billion by 2035, reshaping labour supply, productivity, and investment opportunities across the global economy. China leads in robotics Barclays Research analysts find that China is already the centre of gravity for the global robotics economy. Supported by unmatched scale in manufacturing, deep supply chains, and state-backed industrial policy, China accounted for 85 percent of humanoid deployments in 2025 and controls many of the critical inputs needed to scale the technology. If current trends persist, Barclays Research estimates that robots could fill up to 60 percent of the workforce gap created by China’s aging population by 2035, helping sustain economic growth and reinforcing robotics as a key pillar of its economic and geopolitical strength. How robotics will rewire economies Automation has long supported productivity growth, but its effect has largely been limited to specific tasks. Barclays Research analysts argue that humanoid robots extend automation not just to entire roles, but to those that until now could not be automated. Historically, strong productivity gains in sectors such as manufacturing coincided with a declining share of GDP, while more labour-intensive sectors expanded, a pattern known as the Baumol effect. By increasing the substitutability between labour and capital in tasks that have resisted automation, humanoids could ease these constraints and help shift that dynamic. Barclays Research also notes that more than 60 percent of employment in 2018 was in roles that did not exist in 1940, suggesting humanoids are likely to reshape, rather than reduce, the future of work. Will physical AI’s displacement effects hurt asset prices? Barclays Research analysts argue that physical AI is not a zero-sum shock and that markets may be underestimating its positive effect. By expanding the production frontier, rather than simply redistributing income, humanoid robots strengthen the case for higher productivity, higher equilibrium real rates, stronger earnings growth, and improved long-term asset returns. While adoption will reshape labour income and shift sectoral winners and losers, the overall effect is likely to be positive for growth and markets. Notes to editors: Barclays Equity Gilt Study is a flagship annual publication that combines market-leading macro analysis with a unique multi-asset dataset spanning over 100 years. It provides uniquely rich data and commentary on long-term asset returns in the UK and US. Data for the UK goes back to 1899, while the US data, provided by the Center for Research in Security Prices at the University of Chicago, runs from 1925.

The Big-Bank Bloodbath: Losses Near Half a Trillion Dollars
The Wall Street Journal
By David Reilly
Big banks are nearly half a trillion dollars in the hole.
Since the start of 2016, 20 of the world’s bigger banks have lost a quarter of their combined market value. Added up, it equals about $465 billion, according to FactSet data.
Brexit isn’t all to blame. True, bank stocks have plummeted since the U.K. voted last month to leave the European Union. But they have been losing value since the start of the year, when a group of factors—the Chinese economy, the path of U.S. interest rates, oil prices—weighed on the markets.
More than pride is at stake. Sharp share-price falls will make it much more difficult, and expensive, for banks to raise capital if that is what is ultimately needed to shore up their balance sheets.
Just as bad, a serious decline in market value can breed inaction among bank executives. Instead of selling equity when they can, executives may wait for share prices to recover, only to find themselves in a worse situation as stocks drop even further.
Another potential worry: As bank share prices decline, employees get antsy. Compensation packages that include stock options or restricted stock suddenly become a lot less attractive.
To get a handle on the severity of 2016 for banks, The Wall Street Journal examined the biggest U.S., U.K. and Swiss banks, some of the biggest European ones, as well as the biggest bank in each of China and Japan.
The group included: J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. Wells Fargo & Co., Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., Goldman Sachs Group, Morgan Stanley, Royal Bank of Scotland PLC, HSBC Holdings, Barclays PLC, Standard Chartered PLC, UBS Group AG, Credit Suisse Group AG, BNP Paribas SA, Credit Agricole SA, Société Générale SA, UniCredit SpA, Deutsche Bank AG, Banco Santander SA, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd. and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc.
The biggest market-value losers, in dollar terms, so far this year: Italy’s UniCredit has lost nearly two-thirds of its value; Royal Bank of Scotland has fallen around 56%; and Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and Barclays have all about halved.
Those who have lost the least: J.P. Morgan Chase and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, which are both down about 10%. In local-currency terms, share prices for all 20 banks are down year to date, except Standard Chartered, which is flat.
Despite such gloom, many banks say they don’t need to raise capital. Indeed, in the U.S. at least, the Fed’s recent bank stress tests asserted that big banks can weather particularly bad market storms. The Fed also approved plans at all the largest U.S. banks to return some capital to shareholders.
Valuations show investors aren’t feeling so confident. UniCredit, for instance, trades at about 21% of book value, a measure of a bank’s net worth, according to FactSet. Deutsche Bank trades at about 26%, or where it was during the darkest days of the financial crisis.
In fact, among the group of 20 big banks only one bank—Wells Fargo—trades at a premium to its book value. Only one other, J.P. Morgan Chase, trades near book value.
A bank trading below book value can signal that investors have questions about capital strength. It can also show markets are worried about future profitability and a firm’s ability to generate returns that exceed its cost of capital.
Plunging bond yields around the globe have exacerbated the latter concern by pressuring banks’ profit margins.
The fact that some banks are trading at less than half their book value flags even deeper concerns. Among the likely issues: A brewing battle within the EU over rules curtailing governments’ ability to bail out banks and whether those could be put on hold.
All of this has many once-mighty banks looking like shadows of their former selves. Deutsche Bank, Germany’s national banking champion and still a big player on Wall Street, now has a market value that in dollar terms is less than that of SunTrust Banks Inc., the regional U.S. bank focused on the Southeast. And the market values of UniCredit, Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse combined wouldn’t equal that of Goldman Sachs—itself down about 20% this year.
