An announcement from Banco Bilbao ( (BBVA) ) is now available.
On April 29, 2026, BBVA’s board approved a third tranche of its ongoing share buyback program, aiming to cancel the repurchased shares and thereby reduce the bank’s share capital. The decision, disclosed on April 30, 2026, underscores BBVA’s continued capital-return strategy, which can support earnings per share and signal balance-sheet strength to investors in a competitive European banking sector.
The third tranche will deploy up to €1.46 billion to repurchase a maximum of 429,552,243 shares across the Spanish Continuous Market and several European platforms, starting May 6, 2026 and running at least until July 2, 2026, with a latest end date of August 3, 2026 subject to market conditions. Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG will manage the purchases independently within strict EU market-abuse and volume constraints, and BBVA has reserved the right to suspend or terminate the tranche early if trading disruptions or other circumstances arise.
The most recent analyst rating on (BBVA) stock is a Buy with a $23.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Banco Bilbao stock, see the BBVA Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on BBVA Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BBVA is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by strong underlying profitability and improved leverage (financial performance) alongside a very constructive earnings outlook and shareholder-return focus from the latest call. Valuation is supportive (moderate P/E and solid yield), while the main offset is weaker near-term technical momentum (negative MACD and trading below key short-term averages).
