Monte dei Paschi reports a €1.4 billion profit after acquiring Mediobanca, aided by tax credits and new Italian investors.
MILAN, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Italy's Monte dei Paschi di Siena on Tuesday posted a 1.35-billion-euro ($1.6 billion) net profit for the last quarter of 2025, boosted by tax credits it was able to tap after acquiring Mediobanca.
Rescued by the state in 2017, Monte dei Paschi (MPS) was successfully reprivatised in 2023-2024, with a group of Italian investors becoming its leading shareholders and supporting last year's takeover of rival Mediobanca.
