BBVA eleva un 16% el dividendo a cuenta, hasta un récord de 0,37 euros

El banco repartirá en total 2.000 millones de euros entre sus accionistas. Leer

BBVA has raised its dividend by 16% to a record 0.37 euros per share, paying out a total of 2 billion euros to shareholders. The payout, made on October 15, is nearly 16% higher than the 2025 dividend and the highest in the bank's history. The last trading day for BBVA shares eligible for the dividend was October 12, while the first trading day for shares without the right to participate in the distribution was October 13.

The bank's dividend policy distributes between 40% and 50% of its consolidated profit to investors, combining cash dividends with share buybacks. It aims to maintain capital of at least 12% quality (CET1) while financing organic growth with the remaining capital. In July 2025, BBVA projected that it would have 49 billion euros of CET1 capital, with 36 billion used for shareholder returns.

Since then, the bank has paid 5.2 billion euros in dividends in 2025 and completed two share buybacks, totaling nearly 14.2 billion euros, including the upcoming October 15 dividend payment.
