German construction sector still in recession, civil engineering only bright spot
MADRID - Banco Santander announced Tuesday that its board of directors has approved an interim cash dividend of 11.5 euro cents per share against 2025 results, representing approximately 25% of the group’s underlying profit for the first half of the year.
The Spanish banking giant said the dividend will be paid from November 3, 2025. The last day to trade shares with a right to receive the interim dividend will be October 29, with the ex-dividend date set for October 30 and the record date on October 31.
This distribution, combined with the ongoing share buyback program announced on July 30, comprises the interim shareholder remuneration against the group’s underlying profit for the first half of 2025.
The dividend payment aligns with Banco Santander’s current shareholder remuneration policy, which targets total shareholder returns of approximately 50% of the group’s underlying profit. This return is divided roughly equally between cash dividend payments and share buybacks.
The bank stated that implementation of the remainder of its shareholder remuneration policy for 2025 will be subject to appropriate corporate and regulatory approvals and decisions.
Banco Santander’s announcement was made in compliance with securities market legislation as inside information for investors, according to the press release statement.
