Description: SAN Banco Santander January 27, 2026

Banco Santander S.A. (NYSE: SAN) is a global diversified bank that serves individuals, SMEs, large corporates and public entities through five operating segments: Retail & Commercial Banking, Digital Consumer Bank, Corporate & Investment Banking, Wealth Management & Insurance, and Payments. Its product suite spans deposits, mortgages, consumer and auto loans, project finance, debt-capital-markets services, credit/debit cards, wealth-management, digital payments and a broad array of ancillary activities such as leasing, fintech services and renewable-energy financing.

In its most recent quarter (Q4 2025), Santander reported a net profit of €6.5 billion, a 9 % YoY increase, and a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 13.2 %-above the European regulatory minimum and the group’s 2024 target of 12.5 %. The loan portfolio grew 4 % year-over-year, driven primarily by a 6 % rise in digital-consumer loan originations, while the Net Interest Margin (NIM) held at 2.1 % amid a Eurozone policy-rate environment that has risen by 150 bps since early 2024. Digital active users now exceed 30 million, reflecting a 12 % increase in mobile-banking adoption, a key sector driver as European banks compete on cost-efficient digital channels.
