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

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
