BPER Banca bought 2,526,122 shares at an average EUR 14.22 between September 25 and October 1, 2026, according to the bank's buyback release dated October 2, 2026. BPER Banca stock was trading at EUR 13.74 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026, up 1.40 percent versus the prior close of EUR 13.55.

Buyback reaches 10.78 million shares

The latest purchases took place under a program launched on September 2, 2026, after authorization from the shareholders meeting on April 23, 2026. Since launch, BPER Banca had bought 10,776,122 shares by October 1, equal to 0.51 percent of its share capital, at an average EUR 14.26 per share.

The five-day average purchase price of EUR 14.22 was above the October 1 purchase price of EUR 13.82, showing that the latest execution covered a lower level than the period average. That comparison matters because the buyback is an ongoing capital-allocation measure rather than a single transaction.

Credit outlook turns positive

On September 29, 2026, BPER Banca said S&P Global revised its outlook from Stable to Positive. The agency cited expected improvements in operating efficiency and revenue diversification, while the bank said the change reflected those expectations.

The operating backdrop also includes the first half of 2026, when adjusted net profit exceeded EUR 1.3 billion, according to the Yahoo Finance earnings-call transcript. Reported total revenue reached EUR 3.9 billion in the same period, up 4.50 percent half-on-half, giving the buyback a profitability and revenue backdrop.

Stock remains below yearly high

The Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 13.74 stood EUR 1.36 below the 52-week high of EUR 15.10 on October 5, 2026, a gap of 9.01 percent. The quoted 52-week low was EUR 9.06, while market capitalization stood at EUR 28.6 billion on the same date.

BPER Banca's next reported event is scheduled for November 4, 2026, when the bank is set to approve its interim report for September 30, 2026, according to its investor-relations calendar. The current capital return activity and the Positive credit outlook give the November report two measurable reference points: buyback execution and operating efficiency.
