May 9 (Reuters) - Commonwealth Bank of Australia on Tuesday reported an 8.3% rise in third-quarter cash
earnings, helped by higher volume growth in business and home
lending portfolios.
The country's biggest lender said cash net profit after tax
was about A$2.60 billion ($1.76 billion) for the three months
ending March 31, marginally beating the consensus estimate of
A$2.58 billion by Visible Alpha, according to Citi.
The company reported A$2.40 billion in cash net profit after
tax a year earlier.
