Debt Trading Gives D. Bank Bumper Profit

Deutsche Bank saw revenue from debt trading and sales climb almost three-fold to 3.8 billion euros ($5 billion), fuelling a jump in net profit, a bumper result despite the worst recession in a generation.

The bank said it made a net profit of 1.2 billion euros in the first three months of the year, compared to a loss of 141 million euros a year earlier. 

The result was better than analysts' predictions, which were less than 800 million euros on average.

Nonetheless, there were further signs of the scars of market auctions as the bank announced that it had further writedowns of 1 billion euros, primarily against monoline insurers.

Investors value Deutsche Bank stock at a discount to its two big European investment banking rivals, UBS and Credit Suisse.

Deutsche's stock trades on a multiple of 10 times forecast future earnings, according to StarMine, trailing Credit Suisse's almost 15 times or UBS's more than 12 times.
