意大利最大银行意桑保罗（ISP.MI）周二上调了全年利润展望，此前该行公布的季度盈利好于预期，正准备发起对竞争对手蒙特帕斯基锡耶纳银行（BMPS.MI）的收购要约。
Italy's biggest bank Intesa Sanpaolo (ISP.MI) strengthened its full-year outlook on Tuesday as it reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings ahead of launching its buyout offer for rival Monte dei Paschi di Siena (BMPS.MI).
意桑保罗现在预计 2026 年净利润将“远高于” 100 亿欧元（约 110 亿美元），而此前的预测是全年净利润高于这一数字。
Intesa now sees a 2026 net profit "well" above €10 billion ($11 billion), versus an earlier forecast of a full-year result above that figure.
该行还预测，2027 年来自贷款与存款利率差的收入将出现“显著”增长。
It also forecast a "significant" increase in income derived from the gap between lending and deposit rates in 2027.
根据 LSEG 编制的分析师共识，7 至 9 月季度净利润总计 26.5 亿欧元，高于分析师平均预期的 25 亿欧元。
Net profit in the July-September period totalled €2.65 billion compared with a €2.50 billion average analyst forecast in an LSEG consensus.
在以优惠条件和退出警告说服蒙特帕斯基股东拒绝该行的防御策略后，意桑保罗正等待意大利市场监管机构最早于下周初批准其针对这家托斯卡纳银行的 330 亿欧元股份加现金收购要约。要约的承销阶段预计将在三周后启动。
After persuading MPS's shareholders to reject the bank's defence strategy with a sweetener and a warning it would walk away, Intesa is awaiting approval early next week from Italy's markets watchdog of its €33-billion share-and-cash bid for the Tuscan lender. The offer's tender phase is expected to kick off in three weeks' time.
