Eni S.p.A. announced a €3.8 billion share buyback program and a €1.3 billion extraordinary dividend after posting third-quarter adjusted net income of €2.80 billion, beating analyst estimates of €2.5 billion by 12 percent.
Production reached 1.83 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, exceeding the consensus forecast of 1.81 million BOE/D. Adjusted operating profit came in at €3.70 billion, slightly below the €3.73 billion estimate.
The buyback reduces share count and lifts earnings per share. The extraordinary dividend provides immediate cash to investors. Together, these moves total €5.1 billion in shareholder distributions—a show of confidence in Eni's cash generation during volatile energy markets.
