The Spanish benchmark closes at 18,913 points after a 2.12% drop, with Bankinter falling over 7% following its quarterly results. The index has accumulated a 6.4% decline since August.

With a drop of 2.12%, the main index of the Madrid Stock Exchange stands at 18,913 points and falls below 19,000 points again, as reported by articulo14.es. The pressure mainly comes from Bankinter, which lost more than 7% on Thursday after publishing its quarterly results. Since the highs of August, the Ibex 35 has accumulated a decline of 6.4%, although so far in 2026 it remains up 8.12%, compared to 15.6% it had until August.

Bankinter reported a net profit of 900 million euros in the first nine months of 2026, an 11% increase compared to the same period last year. According to analysts at Jefferies, its revenues were 2% below expectations and the loan portfolio was 1% below estimates.

On the same Thursday, Atresmedia recorded total net revenues of 724.3 million euros between January and September, a 4% increase from a year earlier. Metrovacesa generated 465 million euros in the first nine months, a 75% increase compared to the same period in 2025.

In the Ibex, Bankinter led the declines with 7.56%, followed by CaixaBank (-5.72%), Solaria (-5.26%), ACS (-4.40%), ArcelorMittal (-4.09%) and Banco Santander (-4.06%). Conversely, Telefónica topped the gains with 1.82%, ahead of Cellnex (+1.61%), Colonial (+1.39%), Amadeus (+1.35%) and Logista (+1.03%).

The main European stock exchanges also closed with losses. The FTSE 100 fell 0.26%, the Cac 40 1.39%, the Dax 1.07%, the FTSE MIB 2.54% and the Euro Stoxx 50 1.94%. In France, the risk premium over the ten-year German bond exceeded 170 basis points, its largest gap since November 2011, after the yield on the French bond surpassed 5%, its highest level since 2002. The interest in the secondary market reached 5.064%.
