Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria stock (ISIN ES0113211835) is changing hands at around EUR 25.37 on the Spanish market as of September 14, 2026, slightly below the prior close after a modest daily move of about -0.16 percent per data on its IBEX 35 quotation from a Spanish financial outlet.

Buyback program passes 71 percent of first tranche

According to Europa Press on September 14, 2026, BBVA has already executed 71.2 percent of the first EUR 1,000.0 million tranche of its new share buyback, which forms part of a broader EUR 2,000.0 million repurchase program.

As Europa Press reports, the bank acquired about 4.87 million shares between September 7 and September 11, 2026, at an average price of approximately EUR 25.06 per share, deploying roughly EUR 121.9 million in that week alone.

In cumulative terms since the start of the first tranche, BBVA has purchased more than 28.62 million shares at an average price of EUR 24.91, for a total cash outlay of EUR 712.2 million, which the bank itself and regulatory filings characterize as 71.2 percent of the maximum cash amount authorized for this tranche, according to StockTitan.

Based on disclosures cited by Democrata, the plan foresees that this first tranche will not conclude before September 14, 2026, and not extend beyond October 9, 2026, or earlier if the EUR 1,000.0 million monetary limit or the cap of 483,221,729 shares is reached.

Stock performance and market capitalization context

On the primary Spanish exchange BME in Madrid, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria stock is quoted in euros and currently trades at around EUR 25.37 per share as of September 14, 2026, with an intraday variation of roughly -0.16 percent compared with the previous day, according to the Spanish market commentary on its IBEX 35 opening price.

The same Spanish report indicates that BBVA shares saw negative closes in seven out of the last ten sessions, with only brief upturns, underscoring a recent short-term losing streak even as the stock continues to reflect elevated volatility levels; over the past week, the bank showed weekly volatility of 14.49 percent compared with an annual volatility of 28.61 percent, highlighting that recent swings have been notably milder than the broader 12-month pattern.

In a wider valuation context, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria’s market capitalization stands at about USD 163.06 billion as of early September 2026, making it one of the more valuable European banking groups worldwide, according to an overview by CompaniesMarketCap.

That same data set shows that the bank’s market cap has risen to USD 163.06 billion in 2026, an increase of 24.29 percent versus the prior year’s level, underlining that despite recent share-price consolidation, investors have rewarded BBVA’s strategy and capital return policies over the medium term.

Analyst views highlight upside and geographic risk

Analyst commentary in mid-September 2026 continues to stress both the strengths and risk factors in BBVA’s business model. As reported in a Spanish-language analysis citing JP Morgan’s equity strategy, the US bank recently raised its price target on Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria stock to EUR 27.10 per share, reflecting confidence in the institution’s earnings power and capital generation capacity, according to a piece summarized by MSN.

At the same time, that JP Morgan analysis warns about exposure to Mexico and the country’s tight economic linkages with the United States, pointing out that macroeconomic or regulatory shocks in that key market could represent a meaningful risk to BBVA’s earnings trajectory and capital returns, as summarized by MSN.

For investors, the quantified elements of this debate are central: on the upside, a target of EUR 27.10 suggests room for appreciation of roughly 6.8 percent compared with the current indicated spot price of about EUR 25.37 as of September 14, 2026, while on the downside, concentration in Mexico makes BBVA more sensitive than some Eurozone peers to shifts in North American credit cycles and policy.

Stock stays supported by buyback and higher valuation base

As of September 14, 2026, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria stock remains underpinned by the ongoing EUR 1,000.0 million first tranche of its share buyback, with EUR 712.2 million already deployed and 71.2 percent of the tranche completed, even as the share price trades just under the EUR 27.10 analyst target and reflects a weekly decline pattern highlighted in recent IBEX 35 trading.
