Barclays third-quarter profit pips forecasts on US credit cards business

LONDON -Barclays said its profit for the third quarter dipped slightly from a year ago, nonetheless beating expectations as strong performance in its primarily U.S.-based credit cards business offset sliding revenue in its investment bank.

The bank held off on any unscheduled returning of excess capital to shareholders, following a 750 million pound buyback in July that helped take the sting out of disappointing half-year results. Barclays reported a 6% drop in income at its investment bank for the quarter, following a similarly downbeat performance at the half-year results update in July.
