Gupta sold his shares a day after DBS trounced forecasts to announce a record S$2.69 billion in net profit for the second quarter of 2023.
This was up 48 per cent from a year ago, driven by a jump in net interest margin, he told reporters at DBS’ results briefing on Thursday.
Growth was also supported by higher fee income at the bank’s commercial, wealth management and cards businesses.

Deep Sea : He is only a salaried employee of DBS, not the main cotrolling shareholder, Temasek. The stocks he sold will have no big impact on the share price.
