Germany\u2019s largest lender\u2019s profit in the first half of the year is the highest since 2007.<\/p>\n
Deutsche Bank returned to a better-than-expected profit in the second quarter from a loss a year ago as trading earnings helped offset mixed results at its global investment banking division and a hit from the jump in the euro\u2019s value.<\/p>\n
The come midway through a crucial year for Deutsche as it winds up a three-year plan and attempts to meet a series of targets that some analysts doubt it will achieve.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis puts us on track to meet our 2025 targets,\u201d the bank\u2019s chief executive officer Christian Sewing said of the results.<\/p>\n
Germany\u2019s largest lender reported net profit attributable to shareholders of 1.485 billion euros in the quarter, compared with a loss of 143 million euros a year earlier.<\/p>\n
It was better than analyst expectations for a profit of around 1.2 billion euros, helped by strong trading income as markets remained volatile.<\/p>\n
The loss a year earlier resulted from a large provision for an investor lawsuit, briefly interrupting a long profit streak as the bank recovered from steep losses over the past decade.<\/p>\n
The quarterly earnings are part of a flurry of reports from Europe\u2019s biggest banks, as investors search for evidence on how lenders are weathering a weak economy, a strengthening euro and a trade war.<\/p>\n
Deutsche said the profit in the first half of the year was the highest since 2007. Shares were up more than 4 per cent in early trade.<\/p>\n
Deutsche\u2019s investment bank, which operates from Sydney to New York, remained the biggest revenue generator in the quarter, though a postponement in deals weighed on the results.<\/p>\n
Revenue at the overall division was up 3 per cent, better than expectations for a meagre 0.5 per cent increase.<\/p>\n
Within the investment bank, revenue for fixed-income and currency trading, one of the bank\u2019s largest businesses, rose 11 per cent, better than expectations for a 3.1 per cent gain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Origination and advisory, after making big gains last year, saw a drop of 29 per cent, compared with expectations for a 18 per cent decline. Deutsche recently revamped key roles at the division.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Germany\u2019s largest lender\u2019s profit in the first half of the year is the highest since 2007.
