Banco Santander SA ( (SAN) ) has provided an update.
Banco Santander continues to execute its capital management strategy through an ongoing share buyback programme, repurchasing its own ordinary shares on the Madrid stock exchange between 8 and 15 April 2026. Over this period the bank acquired 6,000 shares at weighted average prices slightly above €10.30 per share, as part of a broader plan to return capital to shareholders and optimise its balance sheet.
As of 15 April 2026 the lender has invested about €2.71 billion in this buyback, equivalent to roughly 53.8% of the programme’s maximum authorised amount. Since 2021 the bank has repurchased approximately 16.8% of its shares then in circulation, a sizeable reduction in free float that may support earnings per share and underscores management’s confidence in the group’s financial position and long‑term strategy.
The most recent analyst rating on (SAN) stock is a Hold with a $8.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Banco Santander SA stock, see the SAN Stock Forecast page.
