Investing.com -- Danske Bank (CSE:DANSKE) on Friday posted a net profit of DKK 5.76 billion in the first quarter of 2025, a 2% increase from a year earlier, as gains in fee and trading income offset declines in interest and insurance earnings.
Net interest income was DKK 9.02 billion, down from DKK 9.14 billion in Q1 2024, reflecting the sale of the personal customer business in Norway and lower deposit margins.
