Banco Santander stock heads into Monday after Friday bounce as buyback and Webster deal loom
Banco Santander shares closed up 1.85% at €10.66 in Madrid Friday after launching a €5.03 billion buyback and agreeing to acquire U.S. lender Webster Financial for $12.2 billion. Santander said its board will review the 2025 cash dividend proposal on Feb. 24. The bank also raised its UK motor finance redress provision to £461 million amid regulatory uncertainty.
