That recent 10.89% 1 month share price return sits against a slightly weaker 3 month share price return of a 3.05% decline. The 1 year total shareholder return of 78.33% and the very large 5 year total shareholder return suggest momentum has mainly played out over a longer horizon rather than just the latest quarter.

So with BBVA trading near €20.31, a value score of 5, an intrinsic value estimate implying a 41% discount and the share price already up strongly over 1 and 5 years, investors may wish to consider whether there is still a buying opportunity here or whether the market is already pricing in future growth.
The most followed narrative currently puts Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria’s fair value at about €21.12, a touch above the €20.31 last close, which frames the discussion around what might be driving that gap.
