In contrast, Royal Bank of Scotland took on 63 pence to 1,922 after the group reported a solid set of full-year earnings and announced buyback plans.
The UK's second-biggest bank said pretax profit before charges and one-off costs came in at 8.25 bln stg, up from 7.1 bln stg the previous year, and slightly ahead of the 8.1 bln stg consensus analyst forecast.
In response, DKW reiterated its 'buy' advice and said the group remains its top pick in Europe with a 22 stg price target.
A solid set of full-year numbers and a bullish outlook statement also provided the spur to BAT, 39 pence higher at 1,367.
