Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary

Q2 2026
Earnings Call Date:Jul 30, 2026|
% Change Since:
|
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call presents a strongly positive operational and financial performance: record earnings, double‑digit revenue growth across core lines, robust loan growth, upgraded guidance in key regions (Mexico and South America), solid capital generation and continued shareholder returns (new EUR 2bn buyback). Key challenges flagged include elevated headline expense growth (partly one‑off), pockets of higher provisioning in Turkey and Argentina, normalization of trading income and some ALCO/market‑sensitivity risks. Management reiterated disciplined capital targets and emphasized profitable, client‑driven growth and AI transformation. Overall, positive momentum across major franchises outweighs the regional and non‑recurring challenges noted.
Company Guidance
BBVA upgraded and confirmed several forward-looking metrics: group return on tangible equity is now guided to around 21% for 2026; management targets CET1 in the 11.5–12% range (using 12% as the operational upper bound and committing to distribute excess above 12%), reported CET1 was 12.90% this quarter (+7 bps q/q, SRT +6 bps) and the bank will complete a €4.0bn buyback by Aug‑3 and launch a new €2.0bn extraordinary buyback (first €1.0bn tranche from Aug‑5), leaving pro‑forma CET1 ≈12.41%; SRT issuance is expected to continue at roughly 30–40 bps p.a. (towards the upper end). Regional guidance was upgraded for Mexico (loan growth ~10%, NII growth at high‑single digits, NIM broadly stable, cost of risk to finish <335 bps) and South America (gross revenues to grow in the high‑teens, full‑year cost of risk converging below 250 bps); Turkey’s cost‑of‑risk guidance was revised to ~220 bps (from ~200 bps) with a roughly €1bn net‑income run‑rate for the year with a downside bias. Group cost of risk was 143 bps in H1 and is expected to remain around current levels by year‑end; expense growth guidance is mid‑ to high‑single digits with a 2026 efficiency target below 35% and a mid‑term efficiency objective in the low‑30s (~30%) by 2028.
Record Earnings and Strong Profitability
Net attributable profit reached EUR 3.062 billion in Q2 (+11.4% year‑over‑year, +2.4% quarter‑over‑quarter) and EUR 6.051 billion in H1. Return on tangible equity stood at 22.2% and return on equity at 21.1%. Earnings per share increased 15.2% year‑over‑year (helped by buybacks).
Outstanding Shareholder Value Creation
Tangible book value per share plus dividends increased 17.3% year‑over‑year and 5.4% quarter‑over‑quarter; excluding impact of share buybacks the YoY growth is 21.8%.
Strong Revenue Expansion — Core Revenue Drivers
Net interest income grew 17.8% year‑over‑year and 2.1% quarter‑over‑quarter; net fees and commissions rose 16.2% YoY; net trading income up 13% YoY (q/q normalization noted). Gross income up ~15.7% YoY and broadly stable q/q.
Robust Loan Growth and Activity
Group loan portfolio grew 17.7% year‑over‑year in constant euros (~20% in current euros). Spain loans +7.4% YoY; Mexico close to 10% YoY. Growth concentrated in profitable segments (consumer, credit cards, private enterprises).
Regional Outperformance — Mexico and South America
BBVA Mexico H1 net profit ~EUR 3.0 billion (+8.2% YoY) with improved NII and stable NIM; guidance upgraded to ~10% loan growth, NII high single digit, cost of risk end <335 bps. South America H1 net profit EUR 556 million (+33.6% YoY); NII +23.7% YoY and full‑year gross revenues guidance upgraded to high teens.
Spain: Solid Commercial Momentum and Asset Quality
Spain net profit in Q2 EUR 1.1 billion (H1 EUR 2.2 billion, +2.3% YoY). NII +4.1% YoY; loans +7.4% YoY; NPL ratio improved to 2.86% (new historic low) with coverage at 71%; cost of risk in Spain ~31 bps H1 (in line with guidance).
Capital Position and Shareholder Returns
CET1 ratio improved by 7 bps in the quarter to 12.90% (quarter impact: +75 bps from results, -40 bps dividend accrual & coupons, -41 bps RWAs growth; SRTs contributed +6 bps). Company completing EUR 4 billion buyback and launching a new EUR 2 billion extraordinary buyback (first tranche EUR 1 billion starting Aug 5).
Efficiency and Controlled Cost Base (Excluding One‑offs)
Group efficiency ratio reported 37.8% (noted as better than guidance). Excluding two non‑recurring items (voluntary redundancies and VAT regularization), H1 cost growth would be 14.5% and the efficiency ratio would have improved by 77 bps in H1; Spain efficiency best‑in‑class at 33.6% and Mexico at 30.8%.
