    As the earnings season rolls on, we dived deep into DBS Group’s (SGX: D05) first quarter 2024 financials.

    The bank pulled off a strong performance as both its total income and net profit hit new records.

    Meanwhile, we looked closely at Mapletree Logistics Trust’s (SGX: M44U), or MLT, latest full-year earnings.

    Over at iFAST Corporation Limited (SGX: AIY), net profit for the quarter soared more than fourfold year on year.

    The fintech recognised revenue and profits from its Hong Kong ePension project and made progress with its UK digital bank.
