Maxi-Cash Q3 net profit more than doubles
PAWNBROKER Maxi-Cash on Wednesday said net profit for the third quarter more than doubled on higher interest income and firmer margins.

Besides recording higher interest income, Maxi-Cash also posted stronger gross margins from the sale and trading of jewellery, as well as from the sale of unredeemed and not-auctioned pledges.
The stronger performance came despite a 2 per cent dip in revenue to S$27.9 million.
