This is a mechanical buyback progress report with no new strategic information. Monitor whether the bank accelerates or decelerates buyback pace in coming weeks, and watch for any update on remaining ~€1.78B of authorized buyback capacity. The AT1 issuance (424B5 filings from late May) suggests ongoing capital optimization alongside buybacks — watch CET1 ratio trajectory at next quarterly report.
