Las claves: el Santander gana tamaño y se consolida como el banco más valioso de Europa

Santander emerged as the sole Spanish bank to attract investors in 2026, according to recent data. The bank's shareholder base grew to over 3.5 million in the first nine months of the year, with a record high valuation of 180 billion euros. BBVA and CaixaBank, on the other hand, saw their investor bases diminish. The Spanish banking sector reached new heights in the third quarter of the year, with Santander, BBVA, and CaixaBank hitting record highs of 12.9, 25, and 13.52 euros per share, respectively.
