Banco Santander ( (ES:SAN) ) has shared an update.
Banco Santander has provided an update on its ongoing share buyback programme, launched in February 2026 under its board’s approval and in line with EU market abuse regulations. The bank disclosed that between 26 March and 7 April 2026 it executed multiple purchases of its own shares across several European trading venues.
As of 7 April 2026, Santander has invested about €2.71 billion in the buyback, equivalent to roughly 53.8% of the programme’s maximum planned outlay. Through these transactions the bank has repurchased approximately 16.8% of its outstanding shares as of 2021, signalling a continued commitment to capital return and potentially enhancing earnings per share and shareholder value.
