Buyback progress and macro backdrop today
Today, September 8, 2026, investors continue to track the execution of BBVA’s ongoing buyback program, which is expected to complete its first EUR 1,000 million tranche between September 14 and October 9, 2026, subject to reaching the monetary or share volume limits stated in the filing.Europa Press report on CNMV filing The timing window for that completion keeps the possibility of further daily repurchases on the table in the coming sessions, potentially influencing trading volumes and supporting the share price relative to the broader Spanish banking sector.
