MADRID, April 23 (Reuters) - Spain's Bankinter BKT.MC said on Thursday its first-quarter net profit rose 8% from the same period in 2025, helped by a rise in loans and fees.
The country's fifth-largest bank by market value reported a net profit of 291 million euros ($340.5 million) in the January-March period, compared to 270 million euros a year ago.
Analysts polled by Reuters expected a 283 million euro net profit.
