Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria stock holds near its yearly high

Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria stock (ISIN ES0113211835) closed at EUR 24.94 on September 22, 2026, down 0.83 percent from the prior close on the Madrid exchange. The price remained close to the 52-week high of EUR 25.49, keeping the bank's market value at EUR 139.20 billion.

Stock stays near yearly high

The September 22 closing price was EUR 0.55 below the annual high and EUR 9.55 above the 52-week low of EUR 15.39. The daily trading range extended from EUR 24.94 to EUR 25.42, while the recorded volume was 5.94 million shares on the latest reported session.

The numerical setup gives the market move a specific context: the one-day decline was 0.83 percent, but the stock remained only 2.16 percent below its 52-week high. That contrast places the latest pullback inside a historically strong price range rather than at a fresh annual low.

First-half return reaches 22.2 percent

According to The Democrata on September 22, 2026, BBVA reported a 22.2 percent return on tangible equity in the first half of 2026. The figure was 7.2 percentage points above the 15 percent average cited for comparable European banks.

The same September 22 report said BBVA had adopted a downward bias toward its target of EUR 1 billion in net profit in Turkey for 2026. That regional earnings factor provides a counterweight to the strong group-level return metric and makes Turkey a relevant variable for the remainder of the year.

Business lending exceeds EUR 300 billion

BBVA's company lending, including public-sector financing, increased 13.3 percent from December 2025 to more than EUR 300 billion by the end of the first half of 2026, according to Bolsamania on September 16, 2026. The 13.3 percent increase exceeded the more than 10 percent growth rate cited for total credit.

For the stock, the combination of a 22.2 percent first-half ROTE and 13.3 percent growth in company lending points to operating expansion alongside the valuation near the annual high. The Turkey profit target remains the clearest quantified counter-factor in the available current company context.
