Santander announces 10 billion euros in buybacks after record profits
MADRID (Reuters) -Santander said on Wednesday it expects to return 10 billion euros ($10.39 billion) to investors through share buybacks from 2025 and 2026 earnings and anticipated excess capital, after the Spanish lender reported record profits.
