Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria stock is tied to a EUR 0.37 interim dividend as BBVA completed the first EUR 1.0 billion tranche of its buyback on October 2, 2026. StockTitan reports that BBVA acquired 40,204,840 own shares, representing 0.73 percent of share capital, and intends to redeem them. Reuters reported on October 1, 2026, that the bank approved the dividend, a 16.00 percent increase from the previous year.

Buyback reaches its full tranche

The completed program gives BBVA a clear capital-distribution milestone. The EUR 1.0 billion tranche represents the maximum amount communicated for this stage, while the 40,204,840 repurchased shares provide the measurable scale of the cancellation plan.

The transaction follows a EUR 2.0 billion extraordinary buyback program announced by the bank. According to Marketscreener on October 2, 2026, BBVA said the repurchased shares would be used to reduce share capital through cancellation.

Dividend rises with first-half profit

The dividend decision is backed by a strong reported earnings base. BBVA stated on its investor site that first-half 2026 earnings reached EUR 6.051 billion, up 11.00 percent year over year, linking the payout to operating performance rather than to the buyback alone. BBVA said the EUR 0.37 payment is its highest interim dividend and will be paid on October 15, 2026.

For market context, Deutsche Bank Research kept a Hold rating and a EUR 23.65 price target on September 24, 2026, after meetings with BBVA management, according to FinanzNachrichten. The target is EUR 0.36 above the Lang and Schwarz price, a 1.55 percent difference calculated against EUR 23.29.
