DBS Q3 net profit jumps 72%, matching expectations
SINGAPORE: DBS Group Holdings Ltd , Southeast Asia's biggest lender, reported a quarterly profit that was mostly in line with estimates on Monday, helped by loan growth, rising fee income trends and a higher net interest margin.
DBS said net profit came in at S$1.41 billion in the three months ended September versus S$822 million a year earlier, and an average estimate of S$1.47 billion from three analysts, according to data from Refinitiv. The bank took accelerated allowances for weak oil and gas support service exposures last year.
Growing worries about the impact of an intensifying trade row between China and the United States on Singapore's export-reliant economy and curbs on Singapore's property market have muddied the outlook for banks after they reported record profits last year.
