MADRID, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Spain's Unicaja UNI.MC on Friday said its net profit rose 5.4% in the third quarter compared to the same period in 2024 as a raise in fees offset lower lending income.
The country's sixth-largest bank in terms of market value reported a net profit of 165 million euros ($192.42 million) in the July to September period, up from 157 million euros in the third quarter of 2024.
Analysts polled by Reuters expected a net profit of 153 million euros.
