UPDATE 1-Qatar CBQ Q3 net profit down slightly; beats forecasts | Reuters

Commercial Bank of Qatar (CBQ) surpassed analysts' expectations for the third-quarter despite reporting a slight dip in net profit as gains from financial investments off-set a drop in fee and commission income.

The Gulf Arab state's third-largest lender by market value earned 548 million riyals ($150.5 million) for the third-quarter, compared with 552 million riyals a year earlier, a company statement said on Monday.

Analysts had forecast average quarterly profit of 503.2 million riyals, according to a Reuters poll.
