Bankinter | BBVA may redeem the issue in November 2032.

Analysis team’s view: Positive impact. Demand exceeded €5.025 billion (bid-to-cover ratio >5.0x), which allowed the financing cost to be reduced to 5.625% (versus 6.125% initially forecast). Most importantly, the bank’s financing cost is significantly lower thanks to excess capital (CET1 ratio ~13.42% in Q3 2025 against a target of 11.5%-12.0%) and strong results (9M 2025 net profit: €7,978 million, up 4.7%).
