Banco Santander (ISIN ES0113900J37) has scheduled its nine-month 2026 results for October 28, 2026, while JPMorgan raised its target from EUR 12.60 to EUR 12.90 on October 14 and kept a Neutral rating, as Yahoo Finance reported. The results date and first-half indicators are listed by Santander.

Results set the next test

The October 28 presentation will cover the first nine months of 2026, following first-half underlying profit of EUR 7.3 billion. Santander's investor page also lists underlying RoTE of 15.60 percent, a CET1 ratio of 14.00 percent and an efficiency ratio of 42.80 percent for the first half or June 2026.

The figures give the upcoming report a clear measurement framework. Profit growth must be weighed against returns, capital strength and efficiency rather than viewed through earnings alone. The investor page identifies underlying EPS as 20.00 percent higher year over year for the first half, while TNAV per share plus dividend per share was 19.00 percent higher as of June 2026.

What does the 15.60 percent RoTE mean?

The return figure shows the bank entered the results period with a double-digit profitability metric, while the 42.80 percent efficiency ratio provides a separate cost-control reference. These are underlying measures, so the reporting basis matters when the nine-month figures arrive.

Three dates frame the story

On September 29, 2026, Banco Santander approved an interim cash dividend of 12.70 euro cents per share, with payment from November 2, 2026, according to FT. Between October 1 and October 7, Santander bought 21,600,000 ordinary shares under its buyback program, according to the filed report carried by StockTitan. The October 28 results presentation and the November 2 dividend payment are the next two scheduled dates.

Capital returns meet the results date

For investors, the combination of a 12.70 euro cent interim dividend, ongoing repurchases and the October 28 reporting date puts capital returns beside operating performance. The market will have fresh evidence to compare with the 15.60 percent first-half RoTE and EUR 7.3 billion underlying profit.
