Banco Santander ( (ES:SAN) ) has issued an update.
Banco Santander has provided an update on its ongoing share buyback programme, launched earlier this year under a board-approved capital management plan. The lender operates in multiple trading venues, including Madrid and pan-European platforms, where it has been actively repurchasing ordinary shares as part of efforts to optimise its capital structure and enhance shareholder returns.
Between 4 and 10 June 2026, the bank repurchased 27,375,913 of its own shares across several European venues at weighted average prices slightly above €10.49 per share. As of 10 June, the total cash spent on the programme reached about €3.26 billion, equivalent to 64.7% of the planned maximum investment, and the bank has now bought back roughly 17.1% of its outstanding shares since 2021, signalling a significant reduction in free float and a potentially more concentrated equity base for investors.
