Banco Santander (ISIN ES0113900J37) was trading at EUR 12.49 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 2:32 p.m. CEST, up 0.64 percent versus the prior close of EUR 12.41. On the same date, Santander expanded its Getnet merchant-payments platform to more than 30 European countries through one integration, according to Santander.

Getnet reaches 30 European countries

Getnet Single Entry Point connects merchants, marketplaces and payment service providers with local payment methods across Europe. The platform initially supports 20 currencies and payouts to 140 countries, giving Santander a concrete way to extend its payments infrastructure beyond Latin America, Spain and Portugal.

The expansion adds an operating milestone to a bank already showing strong first-half numbers. Santander reported underlying profit of EUR 7.33 billion in the first half of 2026, up 15.00 percent from the comparable period, while revenue rose 6.00 percent to EUR 30.85 billion, according to Santander.

Profit growth supports shareholder returns

The same first-half release shows an efficiency ratio of 42.80 percent, improving by 2.90 percentage points. The board also approved an interim cash dividend of EUR 0.13 per share, up 10.00 percent from the prior-year interim payment, with payment scheduled for November 2, 2026.

That distribution is paired with a broader capital-return plan. Santander said first-half 2026 shareholder remuneration would total EUR 3.70 billion, split between cash dividends and a share buyback, while the 2026 target remains underlying profit above EUR 14.10 billion.

Goldman trims its price target

Goldman Sachs cut its Santander price target from EUR 14.40 to EUR 14.10 and kept a Buy rating in a note dated October 1, 2026, as reported by finanzen.net. The new target lies 12.89 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price, leaving the analyst view positive despite the reduction.

The next scheduled reporting milestone is the 9M 2026 earnings presentation on October 28, 2026, listed in Santander's investor calendar at Santander. Market capitalization stood at EUR 188.5 billion on October 5, 2026.
