Frequently asked questions

The MTRO share price has suffered significant drops in recent years as a result of operational issues, which may deter some investors. However, others may see today's Metro Bank share price as a good investment if they believe it can recover from its recent setbacks. In late April, analysts from Société Générale downgraded Metro Bank shares from a "buy" to a "hold" ahead of its Q1 earnings report.
The price of Metro Bank shares is influenced by factors like the bank's operational and financial performance, announcements and conduct, as well as general stock market trends. The Metro Bank share price reached its all-time high in March 2018, but has since declined. In January 2019, the Metro Bank share price dropped 75% over four months as a result of the bank failing to meet regulatory requirements, and a subsequent £350m share issue to cover the missing capital. The MTRO share price declined further in February and March 2020 as a result of the coronavirus stock market crash.
