Deutsche Bank AG suffered its steepest drop since Christian Sewing’s sweeping revamp in early July as its third-quarter results cast doubt on the chief executive officer’s ability to arrest a long slump in revenue.
Germany’s largest lender, which is exiting equities trading and slashing a fifth of the workforce, saw income from its remaining businesses fall 4% from a year ago. All but one unit suffered declines, including the fixed-income trading business that’s a historical strength of the lender, and where revenue slumped by 13%.
