ING unveils €1.65 billion buyback despite profit miss
Oct 29 (Reuters) - Dutch lender ING INGA.AS on Thursday announced a fresh share buyback of €1.65 billion ($1.84 billion), days after completing its previous programme, and said it would pay out an additional €250 million cash distribution in January 2027.
The bank's third-quarter net profit rose 3.5% from a year earlier to €1.85 billion but fell short of analysts' consensus forecast of €1.97 billion.
