** Italy's second-biggest bank by assets also increased its cash dividend policy to 50% of net profit starting from next year as it expects net profit to be above 9 billion euros in 2025 and 2026
** "Unicredit has beat consensus estimates once again," say Citi analysts
** Citi highlights robust capital generation, enhanced net interest income, and ongoing efficiency in cost management and provisions as key positive factors
