Gulf bank QNB slightly beats estimates with 10% net profit rise in Q4
- Qatar National Bank , the biggest Gulf lender by assets, posted on Monday a 10% rise in fourth-quarter net profit from a year earlier, slightly beating analyst estimates.
Gulf Bank, Kuwait's fourth-largest lender by assets, reported a 10% increase in its fourth-quarter net profit, slightly surpassing analyst expectations. The bank's net profit for the quarter ending December 31 was 17.1 million Kuwaiti dinars ($56.1 million), up from 15.5 million dinars the previous year. This growth was driven by a 12% rise in net interest income to 32.3 million dinars, although this was partially offset by a 10% increase in operating expenses to 17.5 million dinars. Additionally, the bank saw a significant reduction in provisions for credit losses, dropping by 60% to 1.2 million dinars. Despite these positive financial outcomes, Gulf Bank's shares experienced a slight decline of 0.4% in early trading.
