Buyback program crosses 58 percent mark

According to Infobae on September 18, 2026, CaixaBank has executed 58 percent of its share buyback program with a total planned size of EUR 500 million, meaning roughly EUR 290 million of shares have already been repurchased.

In the latest reported week, the bank bought back 526,807 shares for around EUR 6.9 million, which implies an average repurchase price of about EUR 13.10 per share and adds a tangible demand component alongside secondary market trading.

Share performance and recent trading range

The most recent full-session close at EUR 13.08 on September 16, 2026 on BME represented a 0.61 percent decline compared with the prior day, while volume rose to nearly 7.0 million shares from 3.8 million shares on September 15, 2026, according to MarketScreener.

The trading history on BME shows CaixaBank closing at EUR 13.16 on September 15, 2026 and EUR 13.18 on September 14, 2026, so the September 16, 2026 close left the stock about 0.8 percent below its level two sessions earlier and highlights a modest consolidation phase after recent gains.

Early quote on September 18, 2026

As El Cronista reported on September 18, 2026, CaixaBank shares opened that day at EUR 12.98 in Spain with an initial volume of 181,540 shares, marking an intraday move of minus 0.15 percent compared with the previous trading day.

This opening level keeps the price very close to the recent closing band between EUR 13.08 and EUR 13.18, suggesting that the buyback-supported demand has so far helped the stock remain near the upper part of its short-term range rather than retracing sharply.

Closing price and investor takeaway

CaixaBank stock is thus trading around EUR 13.00 on BME as of September 18, 2026, only modestly below the September 16, 2026 close of EUR 13.08, while the bank has already executed about EUR 290 million of its EUR 500 million share buyback, equivalent to 58 percent of the program size.
