PNC Financial Services Group Inc. says its second-quarter profit dropped 87 percent largely because of an FDIC assessment and the continued cost of integrating National City Corp. into its operation. The Pittsburgh-based bank reported net income applicable to common shareholders of $65 million, or 14 cents per share. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected a profit of 45 cents per share. It earned $505 million, or $1.45 per share, last year. Before preferred stock dividends, profit totaled $207 million in the latest period. Despite the earnings drop, PNC's revenues grew nearly doubled, to $3.99 billion.
