Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria stock was trading at EUR 24.10 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 4:40 p.m. CEST, down 2.51 percent from the prior close of EUR 24.72. The bank raised its interim dividend to EUR 0.37 per share from EUR 0.32, with payment scheduled for October 15, 2026, according to MarketScreener on October 1, 2026.

Dividend rises as buyback advances

The dividend increase equals 15.63 percent based on the bank's stated EUR 0.32 prior payment and EUR 0.37 new payment. The payout gives the October 1 announcement a direct shareholder-return angle while the stock declined during the German trading session.

BBVA also continued its own-share purchases. A StockTitan report on September 30, 2026 said the first tranche had reached EUR 937.7 million, or 93.77 percent of its maximum cash amount, for transactions from September 21 through September 30.

Profit growth supports capital returns

BBVA's investor-relations page says the bank generated more than EUR 6.0 billion in profit during the first half of 2026, an 11 percent increase from the year-earlier period, while announcing a new EUR 2.0 billion extraordinary buyback program. That combination links the dividend decision to a broader capital-distribution plan.

The latest quarterly backdrop was also positive. Finance data show consolidated net income of EUR 3.281 billion and diluted earnings per share of EUR 0.53 in the second quarter of 2026, compared with EUR 3.189 billion and EUR 0.51 in the first quarter.

Madrid listing and next results date

BBVA is listed on the Spanish Stock Exchange under ticker BBVA. TradingView lists market capitalization at EUR 140.2 billion as of September 30, 2026 and identifies October 29, 2026 as the next report date for the third quarter.

The contrast is clear: capital returns are rising, but the October 1 euro quote remained below the September 30 close. For investors, the October 29 report will provide the next dated test of whether first-half earnings momentum is continuing.
