Deutsche Bank beats estimates, posts record quarterly profit

Deutsche Bank posted a record quarterly net profit attributable to shareholders of 1.912 billion euros ($2.22 billion) under CEO Christian Sewing, its highest ever. The result was achieved despite higher credit risk provisions and negative currency impacts, indicating solid underlying profitability. The report is supportive for Deutsche Bank shares but is more likely to be a stock-specific earnings driver than a broad market catalyst.
