Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria ( (ES:BBVA) ) has provided an announcement.
BBVA has obtained authorization from the European Central Bank to carry out a share buyback and cancellation program of up to €3.96 billion, an amount that has already been fully deducted from its CET1 capital. Acting under a mandate from its 2022 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, the board has approved a multi‑tranche buyback scheme aimed at reducing share capital, with the first tranche to begin on 22 December 2025, involving up to €1.5 billion or a maximum of 557.3 million shares, to be executed by J.P. Morgan SE across several European trading venues between March and April 2026, subject to market conditions and regulatory limits, and with the option to suspend or terminate early. The program underscores BBVA’s capital strength and its commitment to shareholder remuneration, while modestly lowering regulatory capital ratios and potentially enhancing earnings per share for investors.
