Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria stock (ISIN ES0113211835) fell 4.03 percent to EUR 23.81 on BME Madrid on October 5, 2026, at 5:44 p.m. CEST. The move followed the bank's completion of the first EUR 1 billion tranche in its new EUR 2 billion share buyback program, announced by BBVA on October 2.
Buyback removes 40.2 million shares
BBVA acquired 40,204,840 own shares between August 5 and October 1, 2026, according to BBVA. The bank said the shares will be redeemed to reduce share capital, making the capital measure relevant for per-share metrics as well as for the remaining EUR 1 billion tranche.
The scale is material against the company's capital base. The first tranche represented 0.73 percent of BBVA's share capital, while the full program announced in July has a maximum value of EUR 2 billion.
Profit growth remains the counterweight
Second-quarter net income was EUR 3.06 billion, compared with EUR 2.75 billion in the same quarter of 2025, an increase of 11.3 percent, according to TradingView. BBVA's investor-relations page also lists first-half 2026 profit above EUR 6 billion, up 11 percent, and identifies the second-quarter report as the latest quarterly publication.
The earnings profile gives the buyback a stronger financial backdrop, but the market reaction was negative on October 5. BBVA's EUR 23.81 price stood 6.9 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 25.57, despite a 52-week low of EUR 15.40.
Analyst targets trail the ADR price
For the NYSE-listed ADR, StockAnalysis lists a Sell consensus from three analysts, with an average target of USD 24.53. The ADR price of USD 26.98 on October 2 stood 9.08 percent above that target, providing a more cautious valuation signal than the bank's profit growth.
dpa-AFX reported on September 24 that Deutsche Bank Research kept BBVA at Hold with a EUR 23.65 price target after a meeting with the bank's management and finance chiefs.
Next results arrive October 29
BBVA's next confirmed earnings date is October 29, 2026, before the market opens, according to StockAnalysis. That report will give investors the next test of whether the 11.3 percent second-quarter profit increase can continue.
Stock closes below yearly high
