Bull case: “$60 is just a matt

Bull case: “$60 is just a matter of time”

* Earnings muscle still strong

DBS has been feasting on higher interest rates. Net interest margins expanded, and profits hit record territory in recent years.

* Dividend magnet

Solid, rising dividends make it attractive for income investors. When yield looks juicy vs alternatives, buyers step in.

* Balance sheet = tank-like

Strong capital ratios and conservative lending mean resilience even if the economy wobbles.

* Singapore + regional growth

Exposure to ASEAN and wealth management gives it more engines than just plain lending.

👉 Bull view: If earnings stay elevated and sentiment stays warm, $60 is achievable in the medium term.

SG Banks Q1: NII Under Pressure, Who Held Up on Wealth Management?

All three beat Bloomberg consensus, but for different reasons: DBS and OCBC outperformed on wealth management, while UOB defended earnings through lower credit provisions. With SORA averaging 1.07% in Q1 versus 2.54% a year earlier, NII compression across the board is a foregone conclusion. The real question is which bank's wealth management narrative can sustain momentum in the second half — after these three reports, which do you favor?
