SINGAPORE, July 29 (Reuters) - DBS Group Holdings Ltd , Southeast Asia’s biggest lender, beat market estimates with a nearly 17 percent rise in second-quarter profit, supported by an increase in net interest income.
The Singaporean bank’s net profit came in at S$1.6 billion ($1.2 billion) in the three months ending June, versus S$1.37 billion a year earlier and an average estimate of S$1.47 billion from three analysts, according to data from Refinitiv.
