Eni to pay special dividend, lift buyback after strong third-quarter results MILAN, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Italy's Eni ENI.MI will pay a €1.3 billion special dividend and slightly increase its share buyback programme after posting a third-quarter net profit that more than doubled from a year earlier, the energy group said on Friday.
The state-controlled company said its adjusted net profit in the July-September period was €2.8 billion, above a company-compiled analyst consensus of €2.48 billion.
