Insights

Santander advances a large, previously announced buyback, now ~84.6% complete.

Banco Santander details execution of its ongoing share buyback, reporting cash outlays of 1,437,943,994 Euros by 3 December 2025. It notes that this corresponds to about 84.6% of the Buyback Programme’s maximum investment amount and that purchases so far equal roughly 15.1% of outstanding shares as of 2021.

During the week from 27 November to 3 December 2025, the bank repurchased 9,600,000 shares across venues such as XMAD and CEUX at weighted average prices around €9.22–€9.45. This continues a sizeable capital return that reduces the share count, aligning with the programme described in the earlier Buyback Commencement Communication.

The update is primarily mechanical, confirming progress under an established plan rather than launching a new action. Future company disclosures will be needed to show how close the programme is to full completion and how the reduced share count interacts with earnings trends.
