Lloyds Banking Group announced a near doubling of third-quarter profit to £2.3bn, boosted by transformation efforts. The bank's shares declined despite the profit increase, as results did not meet forecasts. Jefferies flagged potential misses, and higher taxes contributed to the lowered outcomes. The group's profit grew due to its transformation initiatives, but the market reacted negatively to the shortfall in expectations.
