Repsol multiplica por cuatro el beneficio y supera por primera vez en su historia los 5.000 millones

Repsol, the leading Spanish oil company, has reported an unprecedented surge in profit, surpassing the 5 billion euro mark for the first time in its history. In the first nine months of 2026, the company achieved a net result of 5.006 million euros, a staggering 325% increase compared to the 1.177 million euros earned during the same period in 2025.

This exceptional performance can be attributed to the sharp rise in oil prices triggered by the Gulf crisis, which has significantly boosted Repsol's margins, both in trading and refining. The company's profit for the nine months of 2026 even exceeded its total earnings in 2010, the previous record year, when it made 4.610 million euros in extraordinary gains from Brazil.

Repsol's impressive profit growth has led to plans for an even more aggressive shareholder return policy, including a record-breaking 950 million euro share buyback program this year, in addition to the two previous installments of 350 million and 500 million euros. This brings the total share buyback value to 1.800 million euros.

The company is also set to increase its cash dividend payments, with investors now receiving 0.56 euros per share, up from the previously anticipated 0.53 euros. This combined effort to reward shareholders through extra dividends and stock buybacks amounts to over 1.500 million euros.
