Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria stock (ISIN ES0113211835) traded at EUR 24.88 on BME on September 23, 2026, while the bank's first-tranche buyback reached EUR 814,322,682.18 by September 21, 2026. The capital-return program is now the clearest numerical marker for the shares.

Buyback passes 81 percent

According to StockTitan on September 21, 2026, BBVA had used 81.43 percent of the maximum cash amount for the first tranche. The transactions covered September 14 through September 18, 2026, and HSBC Continental Europe managed the tranche.

The first tranche is part of a EUR 2 billion extraordinary buyback program announced with the first-half results. For investors, the execution pace matters because the repurchases reduce the number of shares that participate in future earnings, while the disclosed cash amount provides a concrete measure of capital deployment.

Profitability remains above peers

BBVA reported first-half 2026 profit above EUR 6 billion, up 11 percent from the first half of 2025. The same results update also introduced the new EUR 2 billion extraordinary buyback program.

In a BBVA article dated September 22, 2026, BBVA said first-half 2026 ROTE reached 22.2 percent, compared with a 15 percent average for European competitors. That 7.2 percentage-point gap gives the buyback a profitability backdrop rather than making it a standalone balance-sheet action.

JPMorgan target reaches EUR 27.10

finanzen.net reported on September 8, 2026, that JPMorgan raised its BBVA price target from EUR 26.80 to EUR 27.10 and kept an Overweight rating. The analyst cited slightly higher earnings-per-share estimates for Iberian banks over the next two years.

BBVA's EUR 24.88 BME price on September 23, 2026, stood EUR 0.91 below the EUR 25.79 52-week high, a gap of 3.53 percent. The market capitalization was EUR 138.86037 billion and volume was 5,339,432 shares on that date, keeping the buyback and profitability figures in a stock valuation context.
