OCBC’s Q3 2024 net profit rises 9% to $1.50b

Operating expenses rose 9% to $1.11b.

Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation’s (OCBC) third quarter (Q3 2024) net profit increased by 9% year-on-year (YoY) to $1.50b (S$1.97b).

In the January to September period, net profit also climbed 9% to $4.48b (S$5.90b).

“This was driven by broad-based income growth and lower allowances,” the bank said in a release.

Non-interest income grew 41% YoY to $1.04b (S$1.37b) in Q3 2024, with notable increases in fee and trading income.

Net fee income climbed 10% YoY to $386.08m (S$508m), largely due to a 25% rise in wealth management fees during the quarter.

Operating expenses rose 9% to $1.11b (S$1.46b) in the quarter, largely due to business volume growth and digitalisation initiatives.

On an annualised basis, earnings per share increased to $1.31 (S$1.73).

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.
