Banco Santander (ISIN ES0113900J37) was trading at EUR 10.87 at Lang & Schwarz on October 26, 2026 at 9:06 a.m. CEST. The bank will publish first nine-month 2026 results on October 28, according to Santander.

Results arrive after a profitable first half

The upcoming release follows underlying profit of EUR 7.3 billion in the first half of 2026, up 15.00 percent year over year. Santander also reported underlying return on tangible equity of 15.6 percent and a common equity tier 1 ratio of 14.0 percent for the first half, figures displayed on its investor-relations page.

The bank's efficiency ratio stood at 42.8 percent in the first half of 2026, while underlying earnings per share increased 20.00 percent year over year. That combination gives the October 28 publication a clear test: whether profit growth is continuing while operating efficiency remains below 45.00 percent.

What does the buyback mean for returns?

Shareholder distributions remain a second measurable theme. Europa Press reported on October 22, 2026 that Santander had completed more than 80 percent of its EUR 1.825 billion share-buyback program. The bank had bought 119.3 million shares for more than EUR 1.47 billion, including 19.1 million shares in the latest week.

The cash side is also dated. FT.com reported that Santander approved an interim dividend of 12.7 euro cents per share on September 29, 2026, with payment scheduled for November 2, 2026. The last trading day for the dividend right is October 28, followed by an ex-dividend date of October 29.

Analyst target remains above the stock

MarketScreener reported on October 20, 2026 that UBS maintained a Buy rating and a EUR 14.00 target. Santander's reported 52-week range was EUR 8.31 to EUR 13.12 on October 22, 2026, placing the Lang & Schwarz quote below the upper end of that range.

Upcoming dates set the near-term rhythm

The next two dated events are the nine-month results presentation on October 28, 2026, and the interim dividend payment on November 2, 2026. For investors, the results will show whether the first-half profit trajectory and capital-return program are carrying into the second half.
