Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (ISIN ES0113211835) was trading at EUR 23.31 at Lang & Schwarz on October 14, 2026 at 1:25 p.m. CEST. The bank's investor-relations calendar dated October 13, 2026 lists the launch of a second tranche of its share buyback program, while its interim dividend is set at EUR 0.37 per share for October 15, 2026, according to BBVA.
Capital returns gather pace
The buyback is the latest capital-return step after BBVA completed the first EUR 1.00 billion of its new program on October 2, 2026, according to BBVA. The same release said the bank would pay a gross interim dividend of EUR 0.37 per share on October 15, 2026, marking the highest interim dividend in its history.
The dividend timetable places October 14, 2026 as the record date and October 15, 2026 as the payment date, according to The Globe and Mail. For investors, the buyback and cash distribution create two distinct routes for capital returns, but the stock price itself remains the immediate market reference.
What does the dividend mean for returns?
BBVA reported more than EUR 6.00 billion in profit for the first half of 2026, an 11.00 percent increase, according to BBVA. That earnings base gives the EUR 0.37 distribution a clear place in the bank's capital-allocation story, while the second buyback tranche adds a separate reduction in the share count.
Three dates shape the story
On July 30, 2026, BBVA presented first-half results with profit above EUR 6.00 billion. On October 2, 2026, it completed the first EUR 1.00 billion buyback tranche. On October 13, 2026, it launched the second tranche and reaffirmed the EUR 0.37 interim dividend for October 15, 2026, according to BBVA.
Next dates are already defined
The next substantiated dates are October 14, 2026 for the dividend record date and October 15, 2026 for payment, according to The Globe and Mail.
