UOB Third-Quarter Profit Misses Estimates on Lower Trading Income

UOB Third-Quarter Profit Misses Estimates on Lower Trading Income

United Overseas Bank’s third-quarter profit missed expectations.

The Singapore-based bank said lower trading and investment income weighed on its results.

Gains from lending and fees were not enough to offset the decline.

Trading and investment income can vary, while lending and fees also contribute to a bank’s earnings.

The figures show how weaker income from market-related activities can outweigh gains in other parts of a bank’s business.

UOB’s results fell short despite growth in lending and fees.

No further outlook or next steps were provided.
