Banco Santander said on September 29, 2026, that its board approved an interim cash dividend of EUR 0.127 per share against 2026 results. The payment is scheduled for November 2, 2026, and represents a 10 percent increase from the interim dividend paid a year earlier.
Shareholder remuneration
Banco Santander said total shareholder remuneration against its first-half 2026 results will amount to approximately EUR 3.7 billion, split roughly evenly between an approximately EUR 1.8 billion cash dividend and an approximately EUR 1.8 billion share buyback programme launched in August. The company also said it continues to target mid-single-digit revenue growth and lower costs in constant euros for 2026, with underlying profit above the EUR 14.1 billion reported for 2025, subject to the assumptions stated in its release.
