DBS Group Holdings, a leading financial services group in Asia, operates primarily in the banking sector, offering a range of services including consumer banking, wealth management, and corporate banking.
In its latest earnings report for the first quarter of 2025, DBS Group Holdings announced a record profit before tax of SGD 3.44 billion, with total income reaching a new high of SGD 5.91 billion. Despite a slight decline in net profit due to higher tax expenses, the company demonstrated robust business growth.
Key financial metrics highlighted in the report include a 6% increase in total income driven by balance sheet growth and strong fee income, particularly from wealth management and treasury customer sales. The bank’s asset quality remained stable with a non-performing loan ratio of 1.1%, while deposits and loans both showed healthy growth.
The company declared an interim dividend of 60 cents per share and a capital return dividend of 15 cents per share, reflecting its strong financial position. The cost-income ratio was stable at 37%, and the Common Equity Tier-1 ratio stood at 17.4%, indicating a strong capital base.
Looking ahead, DBS Group Holdings remains focused on capturing opportunities amid market volatility while managing risks prudently. The management is optimistic about continuing to support customers with its solid foundation in capital and liquidity positions.
