Santander

Santander W50 parte de una idea clara: conectar talento, hacerlo visible y acelerar su desarrollo. Más de 1.700 mujeres ya forman parte de esta red global. Un espacio para compartir experiencias, contrastar perspectivas y abrir nuevas puertas. En esta edición, 450 directivas de 9 países participan en el programa. De ellas, 50 continuarán en Londres con formación diseñada por la The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Porque el crecimiento profesional no es lineal. Se construye con aprendizaje, exposición y, sobre todo, con las conexiones adecuadas en el momento adecuado. Felicidades a los equipos que lo hacen posible y a las participantes que están convirtiendo esta oportunidad en un siguiente nivel en su trayectoria. Les deseo mucho éxito en este camino. https://lnkd.in/erzt6nJH

Florida International University had 13 alumni supporting the launch and operations of Artemis II, whose four astronauts became the humans who traveled the farthest from Earth yesterday. Receiving their Green School Medallion, on behalf of all my Santander colleagues across the Group, was an honor, especially because of the medallion’s symbol, the butterfly. We share the belief that transformation is what powers our institutions; a conviction that letting go of what works today to build what will work tomorrow is what drives long-term success. For nearly 170 years, Santander has reinvented itself many times, reaching close to 180 million customers, whom we serve every day. FIU, in only 54 years, has achieved many milestones that most institutions never attain. All of us from Santander, including Santander US Chair Tim Ryan, our US CEO Christiana Riley, and many colleagues, are grateful for this important recognition to Jeanette M. Nuñez, President of the University, Shlomi Dinar, Dean of the School, and Ambassador Steven J. Green. We very much enjoyed meeting you all: the students and many major donors, including Mavi and Benjamin León.

La ejecución marca la diferencia. Hoy, en nuestra Junta General de Accionistas, hemos explicado cómo en 2025 lo hemos vuelto a demostrar, con un año récord en resultados. Detrás hay algo más profundo: un modelo único, que combina mayores retornos con mayor predictibilidad, y una transformación hacia una plataforma global, con una única forma de trabajar donde todo empieza por el cliente. No es casualidad. Es el resultado de años construyendo escala y asignando el capital con disciplina. Partimos desde una posición de fortaleza. Ahora empieza lo importante. 2026 será el año en el que elevemos la ejecución a otro nivel: el de la precisión. Precisión en la asignación del capital, en el despliegue de la tecnología y en la gestión de nuestro talento, para acelerar la transformación y seguir creando valor para nuestros clientes y accionistas. Nuestra historia no se escribe solo con cifras, sino que es, ante todo, una historia de personas. Gracias a nuestros clientes, accionistas y a todos los equipos de Santander por su confianza y compromiso. https://lnkd.in/g4PJBpsm

At today’s Annual General Meeting we confirmed Santander’s 2026 targets, with revenues growing and lower costs in absolute terms, leading to higher profit year-on-year. We also informed our shareholders that we remain confident in our medium-term plan, including exceeding €20 billion in profit and achieving a RoTE above 20% by 2028. During the meeting, shareholders approved the capital increase related to the acquisition of Webster –which will strengthen our position in the US and allow us to achieve a RoTE of 18% by 2028– as well as a final cash dividend for 2025, bringing the total cash dividend to 24 euro cents per share, an increase of more than 14% year-on-year. We intend to more than double the cash dividend per share in 2028 compared to 2025, increasing the share of profit allocated to cash dividends to 35% from 2027 results – subject to future corporate and regulatory decisions and approvals. While the geopolitical landscape is uncertain, our scale and diversification across different countries and businesses continue to provide resilience by reducing volatility, making our results more stable and predictable through economic cycles. Last year we said Santander was a unique investment opportunity. Today, we continue to stand by that view. Thank you to our shareholders, customers, and teams for your continued trust and support.
