When $$$MR. MARKET$$$ lived in Houston, he lived right next to Dynamo Stadium. The Dynamo is the Houston soccer team. Right next to the stadium was a bar called Lucky’s and right next to Lucky’s was a bar called Mojeaux's. After pumping iron at LARRY NORTH FITNESS, $$$MR. MARKET$$$ would head over to EADO to consume adult beverages. What you probably don’t know is that the naming rights to the soccer stadium were formerly held by BBVA Compass USA; the name was changed to that of PNC Financial Services due to BBVA's acquisition by PNC. The stadium's naming rights have been owned by Shell Energy, whose American headquarters are based in Houston, since January 17, 2023.
Even though the soccer stadium is no longer called BBVA, the company BBVA still exists and it kicks ass. Today I bought stock in BBVA (Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria) at 18.98. I will sell it in 4 to 6 weeks at 21.92. Here’s why I like BBVA.
https://api.wsj.net/api/kaavio/chart...gs=1&symb=BBVA
Take a look at this amazing chart. This stock is up 110% in the last 12 months and yet its PE is only 9.3. Wow…what a workhorse stock at a tremendous value….

My name is $$$MR. MARKET$$$, and I don't just read the charts—I write them. ANAL-ysts don't have price targets on the stocks I pick; I have price targets on the analysts who don't follow my picks. $$$MR. MARKET$$$ can make a stock go up with a single glance. BBVA is the play of the decade. It’s a tale of global financial dominance!
BBVA isn't some fly-by-night operation; it's a Spanish banking titan with a fortress-like balance sheet. But its real power isn't in Europe—it's in the emerging markets. BBVA’s business in Mexico is a profit-generating machine. It’s recent earnings reports are a testament to this. I’m talking about record-breaking profits fueled by a surge in net interest income and fees. In Q2 alone, their net attributable profit soared to over €2.7 billion. They’re not just growing; they’re exploding. This isn't just a bank; it's a rocket ship with a vault full of money, and $$$MR. MARKET$$$ has lit the fuse! This bank is ridiculously profitable. Spain's economy is stabilizing, and BBVA has strong exposure to high-growth emerging markets like Mexico, Turkey, and South America. In short: this bank gets around more than a broke backpacker with a Eurail pass. When interest rates went up, BBVA didn’t cry — it ate rate hikes for breakfast and just spit out earnings. With a dividend yield often hovering around 4%, BBVA is like your rich grandma who actually sends you money instead of stale candies. Their dividend yield is incredibly attractive, and they’ve been returning value to shareholders through buyback programs. This is what separates a good stock from a great one—the ability to give back to its loyal followers.
BBVA has geographical diversification that would make a globe spin out of jealousy. It's got a strong foothold in: Spain (home base), Mexico (cash cow), Turkey (volatile, but juicy margins), all of South America (upside potential). It’s like having the stability of a Swiss bank but with the growth potential of a crypto meme coin — except, unlike stupid bitcoins, it actually makes sense.
Even though BBVA is enormous, with a $110 billion market cap, is not your grandma’s bank. This bad boy is digitally transformed and sleek. Their app is so good, even Apple is rumored to be jealous. They're ahead of the curve in fintech adoption — which means lower costs, better customer acquisition, and fatter margins. $$$MR.MARKET$$$ once coded a BBVA app using only Morse code and a fidget spinner. It was 3x more efficient than their current version (just kidding…he didn’t use a fidget spinner).
On top of that, BBVA has a rock-solid capital position. Their CET1 capital ratio is well above the required minimum, which means this bank is as strong as $$$MR. MARKET$$$’s bench press. BBVA holds a dominant position in the countries it operates in, with significant market shares in low-cost demand deposits, supporting profitability. Secondly, BBVA is a retail and commercial bank with limited exposure to volatile investment banking activities. Thirdly, diversification across different geographies reduces earnings volatility.
The most compelling reason to buy this stock is that it is undervalued Like a genius in a college group project. BBVA trades at a low price-to-earnings ratio, low price-to-book, and basically screams value like it's stuck in a basement with a megaphone. You want growth and value? This ain’t no unicorn — it’s a minotaur in a suit and tie. BBVA is a beast. A dividend-dripping, digitally-savvy, globally-diversified, undervalued monster.
In short, BBVA is a no-brainer. It's got the financial strength, the incredible growth engine in key emerging markets, and a commitment to rewarding shareholders that is second to none.
Here is what the boss had to say: Statement on BBVA 2Q25 earnings from Onur Gen?
“BBVA reported excellent results in the first half of 2025, driven by remarkable growth in lending activity especially in Spain and Mexico. We earned a record €5.45 billion euros in the semester, with Return On Tangible Equity at 20.4 percent and a capital position well above 13 percent. BBVA is living through one of the best moments of its history. We are one of the most profitable banks in Europe, with the best growth profile, with truly leading franchises in our main markets and excellent prospects for the future. In this context and within the framework of BBVA’s new strategic plan, today, we are also announcing our financial goals for the 2025-2028 period. Over these four years, we expect to achieve an accumulated profit of around €48 billion euros. This translates into an average profitability of above 20 percent and an efficiency ratio of about 35 percent, exceptional figures among European banks. We will also have €36 billion euros in capital available for distribution among our shareholders.”
You don’t have to be Lucky to make money on BBVA. You don’t even need to get drunk at Mojeaux’s either – but the money that $$$MR. MARKET$$$ makes on this trade will keep him in beer for a while!
I am HUGE!
