buyback program financial
"relating to the execution of the third of a buyback program of own shares of BBVA"
A buyback program is when a company uses cash to repurchase its own shares from the market or shareholders, which reduces the total number of shares available. For investors this can increase the value of each remaining share, signal that management thinks the stock is undervalued, and change ownership percentages — like a homeowner buying back units in a building so each remaining owner holds a larger slice of the same pie.
inside information regulatory
"Further to the notice of inside information of 19 December 2025"
Information not available to the public that, if known, would likely cause a company’s stock or bonds to rise or fall—for example, undisclosed earnings, deals, product results, or management plans. It matters because trading on that information gives an unfair advantage, can distort market prices, and is typically illegal or subject to strict rules, so investors watch for proper disclosure and compliance to protect fair, transparent markets.
Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 regulatory
"pursuant to article 5 of Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 of the European Parliament"
A European Union law that sets the rules to prevent insider trading and market manipulation, requiring companies and traders to disclose material information and behave transparently. Think of it as a referee and rulebook for financial markets: it helps keep trading fair, gives investors confidence that everyone has access to the same key facts, and creates legal duties and penalties that can affect stock prices and corporate disclosure practices.
