Monte Dei Paschi reported a net profit of €1.35 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025, significantly higher than the previous year's €384.9 million, but fell short of market expectations, leading to a decline in its share price.
The company said net profit rose to €9.47 billion in 2025, up from €5.7 billion the year prior, as it continues to reshape the business.
The bank said it would distribute €50 billion to shareholders in the next five years as it bets on growing market share and rising profit.
The lender reported a 15% rise in net profit for the last quarter of 2025 and approved a €5 billion share-buyback program.
The eurozone’s largest lender in terms of assets is banking on cost-cutting and profit-boosting initiatives to drive growth.
