Spanish lender Ibercaja Banco SA is the latest company in Europe to delay its initial public offering, citing high market volatility and elevated geopolitical tension.

The Zaragoza-based bank will wait for the market to “return to a more regular situation” before continuing with the offering, it said in a statement filed with regulators Tuesday. Bloomberg News has previously reported that the bank could be valued at about 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion).
