DBS Q1 Profit Falls 10% In Weak Markets, Revenue Slips 3%

SINGAPORE (Reuters) – DBS Group Holdings reported a 10% decline in quarterly profit after net income at Southeast Asia’s largest lender fell 3%, with weaker markets weighing on its wealth management business and treasury market activities.

The Singapore-based lender’s net profit fell to S$1.8 billion ($1.30 billion) in January-March from a record S$2 billion a year earlier but came above an average estimate of S$1.63 billion from six analysts, according to Refinitiv data.
