DBS 3Q earnings 5% lower than last quarter

Net profit stands at $1.07b.

A report by OCBC reveals DBS’ net profit stood at $1.07b, a 6% growth from last year but a 5% decrease from last quarter, which DBS asserts is due to an increase in general allowances.

The group’s non-interest income slipped to $899m in 3Q, which reflected 1% YoY and a 5% QoQ decrease.

Market volatility also affected DBS’s wealth management, investment banking, and stockbroking income leading to a net fee income dip of 11% from last quarter.

Meanwhile, net interest income rose to a record high with a 4% QoQ and 13% YoY increase to $1.8b.

Net interest margin also rose to 1.78%, an improvement of 3bp from last quarter and 10bp from last year.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
