<p>The leading global financial services provider company, Barclays PLC (LSE: BARC) is about to close its ex-dividend date today i.e. August 10, 2023. The company is among those who pay dividends on the half-yearly basis. Despite the update, Barclays share price remained neutral. The recently posted earnings affected the up move and changed the course for BARC stock price.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Barclays posted the earnings for the second quarter that ended in June 2023. The earnings released in July-end seemed “modestly disappointing” to the analysts. This could be because of multiple reasons including subsequent drop in revenue and weakening of factors that kept the revenues higher.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>The financial firm posted a revenue of £6.3 Billion ($7.87 Billion), which fell over 6% from the previous quarter. The net income for the British banking firm for Q2 2023 was £1.3 Billion ($1.68 Billion). Though the income also fell year-over-year from £1.78 Billion, it performed better than expected despite the slowdown in investment banking.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>In operating expenses, Barclays reported £3.92 Billion ($4.91 Billion) marking an increase of over 6% in a year. The company currently sits on assets worth £1,549.7 Billion ($1,962.2 Billion) by June 2023, marking a rise of over 2% since 2022.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), a metric to check for bank solvency, for Barclays, was 13.8%.&nbsp;</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-barclays-to-pay-2-70-in-dividends-and-750m-shares-buyback-strong"><strong>Barclays to Pay £2.70 in Dividends and £750M Shares Buyback</strong></h2> 
<p>The company is likely to pay a dividend by mid-September, 2023. The amount payable to the shareholders per share would be £2.70.</p> 
<p>Since dividends are paid from a share of a company’s earnings, more amount suggests the good profitability of the company.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Barclays earnings saw an increase of 60% per year during the last five years while the dividend growth in the last decade remained around 1.7% per year, according to Simply Wall Street.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>In addition, the company announced to purchase back the BARC shares worth £750 Million.</p>

<p>Prior to the earnings, Barclays share price was in uptrend and rose over 12% within two weeks. After stalling at around £163 for about a week, BARC’s <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2023/07/19/will-barc-stock-continue-its-bullishness-ahead-of-q2-2023/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stock price</a> tumbled post-earnings release. It has declined more than 10% since then.</p> 
<p>Currently, Barclays share price is trading at £148 following a slight drop of 0.5% in the last intraday session.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The current price of BARC stock at press time is acting as immediate support as it is consolidating between the £148 to £164 price range. It is below the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving average (EMA). If the downfall continues, Barcalays share price could go down as strong support at its yearly low of £130.&nbsp;</p>
