Ratings as Barclays publishes them in its public rating disclosure, newest first, on each stock where the firm currently names John Babcock as its analyst. An older rating may predate their coverage. Performance is each stock's share price change from its close on the rating date (or the last close before it) to its latest retained close on 2026-09-24, restated for splits; price only, dividends not included. A dash marks a rating from before the retained closes begin (2025-05-09, or later for a stock listed since), or a price move no recorded split explains.
