Buyback adds to capital returns

BBVA launched a second EUR 1 billion tranche of its share buyback program on October 13, 2026. The announcement came after the bank approved a EUR 0.37 gross interim dividend per share for the 2026 financial year, payable on October 15, 2026, according to the BBVA investor relations page.

The payout gives the capital-return story two separate elements: cash distribution and share reduction. BBVA said its ordinary-profit payout policy allocates 40.00 to 50.00 percent, while the latest buyback tranche adds a direct demand component for the bank's own shares.

What does earnings momentum show?

BBVA reported EUR 3.06 billion in net income for the second quarter of 2026, up 11.40 percent from EUR 2.75 billion in the second quarter of 2025. First-half 2026 profit exceeded EUR 6 billion and rose 11.00 percent year over year, according to BBVA. A financial-results summary also said quarterly revenue reached EUR 10.51 billion and that gross revenue growth guidance was raised to the high teens, as reported by BT Lines.

Three dates define the recent sequence

On July 30, 2026, BBVA presented its second-quarter results. On October 1, 2026, the bank announced the EUR 0.37 interim dividend. On October 13, 2026, it launched the second EUR 1 billion buyback tranche. These dates show how earnings, distribution and repurchases have followed one another through the latest reporting cycle.

When are the next results?

BBVA is scheduled to present third-quarter 2026 results on October 29, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. Madrid time, according to its financial calendar. That date will provide the next test of the high-teens gross-revenue guidance and the earnings trend behind the current capital-return program.

Stock price and the next catalyst
