BBVA Reports Strong Q3 2026 Growth Driven by Mexico and Spain Performance
BBVA (BBVA) reported robust financial results for the first nine months of 2026, with net attributable profit reaching 9.07 billion euros, a 13.6% increase year-over-year. The bank's performance was primarily bolstered by strong lending activity and core revenue expansion in its key markets of Mexico and Spain. Consequently, management raised its full-year return on tangible equity (RoTE) guidance to above 21%. While the group saw significant growth in net interest income and fees, certain regional risks were noted. Specifically, higher provisioning requirements in Turkey and potential asset quality developments in Argentina may lead to costs of risk exceeding initial guidance in those specific markets. Despite these localized headwinds, the bank's overall efficiency ratio improved, and its digital banking expansion continues to gain traction in Europe.
