DBS’ Q3 2024 net profit climbs 15% YoY

Total income rose 11% YoY.

DBS Group’s net profit reached a record $2.27b (S$3.03b) in the third quarter of 2024 (Q3 2024), marking a 15% year-on-year (YoY) increase and an 8% rise from the previous quarter.

Total income rose 11% from a year ago and 5% sequentially to $4.31b (S$5.75b), driven by balance sheet expansion, record fee income led by wealth management, increased treasury customer sales, and the highest markets trading income in ten quarters.

The cost-income ratio was at 39%.

The board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.41 (S$0.54) per share, totalling $1.22 (S$1.62) per share for the first nine months of 2024.

Chief executive officer Piyush Gupta noted the quarter’s strong performance, with net interest margin supported by reduced balance sheet sensitivity to interest rates, whilst fee income hit a new high amid favourable macroeconomic and interest rate conditions.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
