Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (ISIN ES0113211835) traded at $29.00 on August 28, 2026, with a market value of $160.03 billion and a one-day move of 1.08%. The same snapshot puts BBVA at the 140th spot worldwide by market cap.
Profitability still matters
The latest quarter cited for BBVA showed earnings per share of $0.62, return on equity of 18.05%, and a net margin of 27.75%. That is a clean profitability profile for a lender, especially when paired with the stock's 59.78% gain over the past year.
For investors, the comparison is simple: a $160.03 billion valuation on August 28, 2026 sits alongside double-digit profitability metrics, which keeps the bank in the large-cap conversation across Europe and the Americas.
How the stock is priced
At $29.00, the shares were also reported within a 52-week range of $17.77 to $29.32, leaving the price just below the upper end of that band. A 1.08% daily gain against a 52-week advance of 59.78% gives the stock a strong recent run without pushing it beyond its stated range.
The broad financial-services backdrop also remains supportive, with large bank peers showing similar attention on earnings power, capital returns, and valuation. BBVA's own mix of retail banking, wholesale banking, and asset management keeps those drivers central.
What BBVA sells
BBVA provides retail banking, wholesale banking, and asset management services across Spain, Mexico, Turkey, South America, the United States, and other markets. That geographic spread helps explain why the group can post large-scale earnings and still rely on multiple regions rather than one lending franchise.
Price and market view
As of August 28, 2026, the shares traded at $29.00 and the market cap stood at $160.03 billion. The combination of a 1.08% session gain, a 59.78% one-year move, and a $29.32 52-week high leaves BBVA close to the top of its recent trading band.
