BBVA ignores the takeover fiasco and reaches a market capitalization of 100 billion for the first time

BBVA reached a market capitalization of 100 billion euros for the first time in its history this Wednesday, just two weeks after its takeover bid for Banco Sabadell failed and ahead of the publication of its results for September tomorrow.

The group chaired by Carlos Torres saw its shares rise 1.05% on the stock market around 11:00 AM today, trading at €17.37, its highest level since August 2007. So far in 2025, the stock has appreciated by 91.02% .

At the same time, the main indicator of the Spanish stock market, the Ibex, shattered new intraday highs at 16,162.9 points, thanks to its rise of 0.47%.

BBVA 's share price increase comes after its takeover bid for Banco Sabadell failed to secure more than 26% of the Catalan bank's capital and one day before the Basque group publishes its results.

Experts predict that it will announce an unprecedented profit of 8 billion between January and September, 5% more.

BBVA expects to obtain a cumulative attributable profit of around 48 billion euros over four years, 2025-2028, with an average return of around 22% during the period.

And it also expects to have 36 billion euros of top-quality capital available to distribute to its shareholders until 2028.
