PRAGUE, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Czech lender Moneta Money Bank's MONET.PR third-quarter net profit likely rose by 7.8% year-on-year to 1.95 billion crowns  ($90.07 million), as both interest and fee income grow, a Reuters poll of eight analysts showed on Wednesday.    
Analysts said attention is likely to focus on prospects for an extraordinary dividend, following extra payouts of 4 crowns and 3 crowns per share, respectively, in the final quarters of 2025 and 2024.
"We favour the scenario where management will pay CZK 3-4/share this year while retaining some buffer given the current relatively fast loan portfolio growth," J&T Banka said in a preview.
