Italy’s Banco BPM Quarterly Results Boosts After Strong Quarterly Performance
MILAN, Aug 5 (Reuters) – Banco BPM strengthened its full-year guidance on Wednesday after reporting second-quarter earnings above market expectations, days after the collapse of merger talks with Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MPS)
Failure to strike a deal with MPS, which has become a takeover target for market leader Intesa Sanpaolo , leaves BPM without what had long been seen as its natural merger partner.

Banco BPM, Italy’s fourth-largest bank, last week said it was abandoning a plan to seek a merger with MPS after making no definitive progress since it first proposed discussing a tie-up in early June.
The announcement came after BPM’s main shareholder, French bank Credit Agricole, said it saw no value in such a merger and expressed a preference for BPM to combine with its own Italian unit as the sector consolidates.
Banco BPM strengthened its financial outlook for 2026 saying the dividend, which it had set at €1 euro per share, could exceed that value on the back of a net profit of more than €1.95 billion.
