BBVA completed a EUR 1 billion first share buyback tranche on October 2, 2026, acquiring 40,204,840 own shares. The latest filing says the shares are expected to be redeemed, reducing the bank's share capital and giving the transaction a direct per-share relevance for BBVA stock, according to StockTitan on October 2, 2026.

Three milestones shape the payout story

On July 30, 2026, BBVA's investor-relations page presented first-half results showing more than EUR 6 billion in profit, up 11 percent, alongside the second-quarter reporting materials, according to Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria.

On October 1, 2026, the bank announced a EUR 0.37 gross interim dividend per share for the 2026 financial year. The net amount is EUR 0.2997 per share after a 19 percent withholding tax, according to Investegate.

What does the buyback change?

The buyback reached its EUR 1 billion maximum and covered 40,204,840 shares. BBVA said it expects to redeem all shares acquired in the first tranche, linking the cash outlay to a lower share count rather than simply holding treasury stock, according to StockTitan. That structure makes the redemption plan the key numerical link between the buyback and future per-share metrics.

Dividend dates are next

October 13, 2026 is the ex-dividend date, October 14, 2026 is the record date, and October 15, 2026 is the payment date for the EUR 0.37 gross distribution, according to Investegate. The sequence places the dividend payment less than two weeks after the buyback tranche was completed.

Next shareholder dates

The next two dated shareholder events are the October 14, 2026 record date and the October 15, 2026 dividend payment date. Together with the EUR 1 billion buyback and the EUR 0.37 gross dividend, they define BBVA's immediate capital-return timetable.
