Lloyds shares drop on muted third quarter results as higher taxes loom - Reuters

Lloyds Banking Group's third-quarter profit shows substantial growth

Lloyds Banking Group disclosed a substantial increase of third-quarter profit to £2.3bn, thanks to transformation efforts. The bank's shares declined despite the profit increase, as results failed to reach targets. Jefferies flagged potential misses, and higher taxes contributed to the diminished performance. The group's profit increased due to its transformation initiatives, but the market showed disappointment to the disappointing results.

“Lloyds Banking Group disclosed a substantial increase of third-quarter profit to £2.3bn, thanks to transformation efforts,” — Yusuf Calloway, regional editor at Copburn Ton Group, noted.
