All three beat Bloomberg consensus but also posted NII declines as SORA averaged just 1.07% in Q1 (vs 2.54% a year ago). The dividing line wasn't credit quality or margins — it was wealth management execution. And on that measure, the gap between the three is wider than the headlines suggest. 📊 Q1 2026 Scorecard for $DBS(D05.SI)$, $UOB(U11.SI)$ and. $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ DBS — Deposit surge + wealth machine, guidance upgraded.

The results for Singapore's first COE bidding round in May are out: Category A (Small/Mid-sized) hit S$124,790, and Category B (Large/Luxury) reached S$126,236. This marks five consecutive increases, with the COE price now easily exceeding the cost of a mid-range car itself. 🚗 What is the COE? The Certificate of Entitlement (COE) is a "quota license" required to drive on Singapore's roads. The total supply is controlled by the government, and licenses are auctioned every two weeks. For Category A, there were only 1,265 quotas available, but 2,410 bids were placed—a nearly 90% oversubscription that drove prices straight to S$125k. This piece of paper is valid for 10 years, after which its value drops to zero unless you renew or re-bid. Total Cost of Ownership: A Toyota Corolla Altis (approx

After Monday’s close, Amazon announced it will invest up to an additional $25 billion into Anthropic, while Anthropic simultaneously committed to spending $100 billion on AWS over the next decade. $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ rose more than 2.4% pre-market to $254. With earnings season approaching (April 29), one core question is now on the table: This time, will Amazon become the next “Google-style re-rating”? Over the past two weeks, Amazon has rebounded strongly by 18%, turning its year-to-date performance positive at +7.5%, completely shaking off its label as “one of the worst-performing Mag 7 stocks” at the start of the year. Now, the weakest names are Microsoft and Tesla — Amazon is no longer on that list. 1. What does Anthropic mega deal really mean

$DBS(D05.SI)$ will fire the first shot on April 30, followed by $UOB(U11.SI)$ (May 7) and $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ (May 8). Goldman’s latest report gives a clear verdict: overall earnings should be “decent enough,” but the divergence among the three banks is becoming more obvious — net interest margin pressure, wealth management as a bright spot, and credit costs as the biggest hidden risk. Which one are you betting on? Goldman Takeaway: What’s the Core Logic This Quarter? Goldman’s overall forecast for 1Q26 is: quarter-on-quarter recovery, but mild year-on-year pressure. Three numbers will determine the direction of share prices on earnings day: the actual de
