Lloyds Banking Group disclosed a near doubling of third-quarter profit to £2.3bn, driven by transformation efforts. The bank's shares fell despite the profit increase, as results did not meet forecasts. Jefferies noted potential issues, and higher taxes played a role in the diminished performance. The group's profit rose due to its transformation initiatives, but the market responded poorly to the shortfall in expectations.
