BBVA Nears Halfway Mark in Second Tranche of Share Buyback

Banco Bilbao ( (BBVA) ) just unveiled an update.

BBVA has provided an update on the second tranche of its ongoing share buyback program, carried out through Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG as the manager. The bank reported that, as of transactions executed between 30 March and 2 April 2026, it has repurchased shares for a total of €494.9 million under this tranche, equal to roughly 49.49% of the tranche’s maximum cash amount.

The progress of this buyback signals that BBVA is continuing to deploy excess capital to reduce its share count, which can enhance earnings per share and shareholder returns. The partial completion level also indicates there remains significant capacity left in the current tranche, suggesting further market operations ahead that could influence BBVA’s capital structure and trading dynamics.
