What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

DBS Group reported a 5 per cent fall in third-quarter net profit, reaching S$2.81 billion (US$2.20 billion). This result missed the average analyst forecast of S$2.90 billion, as weaker trading income weighed on earnings. The bank also announced that Anthony Lim will succeed Peter Seah as chairman on January 1, 2027, following Peter Seah's retirement at the end of the year.
