  "account": "Companies listed on Spain's Continuous Market achieved record profits in the first half of 2026, with a combined net profit of 45.19 billion euros, up 15.5% from the same period in 2025. The increase was driven by strong performance from banks, energy companies, and concessionaires, with Ibex-listed companies accounting for 88% of the total profit. The top performers included Santander, BBVA, and Repsol, which tripled its profits thanks to the surge in oil prices due to the conflict in the Middle East. A total of 120 companies contributed to the record profits, with revenues growing 6.6% to 453.93 billion euros.",
