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

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.
