    BACKED by broad-based growth, United Overseas Bank (UOB) on Friday posted fourth-quarter earnings that came within market expectations despite a dip in margin.

    UOB reported a 1.7 per cent year-on-year rise in net profit to S$786 million for the October-December 2014 quarter. This came within the average forecasts of two analyst polls - Reuters' S$759 million and Bloomberg's S$787.5 million.
