DBS said profit for the June quarter fell to S$1.25 billion from S$1.6 billion a year earlier, and versus an average estimate of S$1.19 billion from five analysts, according to Refinitiv data.The profit was above the first-quarter's S$1.16 billion number. Loan loss allowances also declined quarter on quarter.
He said given the circumstances, DBS' ability to maintain a 10 per cent return on equity would be seen positively especially in light of the recent stock price drop due to a cap on dividends.
