BBVA announced on July 31, 2025, that its second-quarter net profit fell by 2% compared to the same period in 2024. This decline was primarily attributed to lower interest rates, which squeezed the bank's lending income.
The impact of falling interest rates on net interest income (NII) is a significant challenge for banks, directly affecting their core profitability. This result indicates that BBVA is experiencing headwinds from the current interest rate environment in its core markets.
For investors, this signals a moderation in profitability growth compared to previous quarters. The bank's ability to offset these pressures through other revenue streams or cost efficiencies will be a key focus in the coming periods.
