Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria stock (ISIN ES0113211835) closed at EUR 24.00 on the BME on October 7, 2026, gaining 1.14 percent. The move came as shareholder distributions combined a EUR 0.37 interim dividend with a completed EUR 1 billion buyback tranche.

EUR 1 billion buyback completed

BBVA reported on October 2, 2026, that it had completed the first tranche of its extraordinary EUR 2 billion buyback program. Between August 5 and October 1, the bank repurchased shares worth EUR 1 billion.

The tranche covered 40,204,840 shares, equal to 0.73 percent of BBVA's share capital. The bank said the repurchased shares will be canceled, reducing the outstanding share capital and adding a mechanical element to the shareholder-return story.

Dividend rises to EUR 0.37

BBVA announced on October 1, 2026, that it will pay a gross interim dividend of EUR 0.37 per share on October 15. The payment is the highest interim dividend in the bank's history, and BBVA linked the distribution to its first-half earnings and capital position.

The dividend follows first-half 2026 net attributable profit of EUR 6,051 million and a CET1 ratio of 12.90 percent, according to Quartr in its September 10, 2026 corporate presentation summary. Core revenue growth reached 17.4 percent year over year as of June 2026, giving the distribution policy an operating earnings backdrop.

Stock gains 20.30 percent in 2026

The BME quote showed a market capitalization of EUR 130.43 billion on October 7, 2026. The same listing data showed a 20.30 percent year-to-date gain, although the stock remained 5.51 percent below its one-month reference level.

For investors, the key tension is the balance between capital returns and the bank's ability to sustain growth across its international markets. The buyback supplies a direct reduction in share count, while the dividend offers a dated cash distribution that can affect trading around the October payment timetable.
