BPER Banca stock (ISIN IT0000066123) was trading at EUR 14.36 on Euronext Milan on September 28, 2026, at 2:08 p.m. CEST. The bank's buyback had reached 8.25 million shares by September 24, giving investors a fresh measure of capital distribution.

Buyback reaches 8.25 million shares

According to BPER Banca on September 25, 2026, the bank bought 2.67 million shares between September 18 and September 24 at a weighted average price of EUR 14.31. The purchases represented 0.39% of share capital, while the cumulative average purchase price since September 2 was EUR 14.27.

The buyback gives the stock a concrete capital-return backdrop, but the scale matters more than the single-week figure. The latest purchases were worth EUR 38.20 million, compared with the EUR 29.9 billion market capitalization shown by the September 28 market snapshot.

First-half profit exceeds EUR 1.3 billion

BPER's operating picture also strengthened in the first half of 2026. As reported in the Yahoo Finance transcript dated August 6, 2026, adjusted net profit exceeded EUR 1.3 billion, representing 15% year-on-year growth. Reported total revenues reached EUR 3.9 billion, up 4.5% half-on-half.

The same first-half update put adjusted return on tangible equity at 20.6% and the CET1 ratio at 15%. Those figures frame the buyback as part of a broader distribution policy, while also showing the capital buffer supporting the enlarged bank after its Banca Popolare di Sondrio integration.

Target rises to EUR 14.80

According to Borsa Italiana on September 2, 2026, Morgan Stanley raised its BPER Banca price target to EUR 14.80 from EUR 14.50. At EUR 14.36, the target lies 3.06% above the market price, leaving the analyst view close to the latest trading level.

BPER's investor-relations calendar lists November 4, 2026, for the board meeting to approve the consolidated interim report for the period ended September 30, 2026, according to BPER Banca. That date is the next scheduled reporting checkpoint for the current integration and capital-return story.
