On February 18, 2026, the board of Mediobanca approved a merger with Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MPS) and agreed to delist Mediobanca from the Milan stock exchange. This strategic move follows MPS's efforts to take full control of Mediobanca, which led to an 8% surge in Mediobanca's share price. The merger aims to consolidate the two Italian banks, potentially reshaping the banking landscape in Italy by combining their assets and operations. The delisting indicates a shift towards a more integrated ownership structure under MPS, which could impact shareholders and market dynamics in the Italian banking sector.
