[Game] Will DBS Close Above S$55 On Friday?
The past two weeks have been a win streak for REITs and $Keppel(BN4.SI)$, both delivering solid results! $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ hit a new all time high; DBS is already flirting with its record high 👀
Next week, Singapore’s Big 3 banks — $DBS(D05.SI)$ , $UOB(U11.SI)$ , and $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ — are set to release their earnings!
US big banks just crushed earnings season!
The top six pulled in $41B in profit last quarter (+19% YoY)!
NIMs are holding steady, credit provisions are dropping, and several banks even raised next-quarter NII guidance.
Goldman’s investment banking revenue surged 42%, JPMorgan and Citi’s fees jumped 16% and 17%, and JPM is on track to post over $50B in annual profit for a second straight year.
🔎 How did Singapore banks do last quarter?
DBS: Profit up 1% to S$2.8B, beating estimates; record AUM from wealth clients; trading income doubled to a 13-quarter high.
UOB: Net income fell 6% as lending income slipped more than expected.
OCBC: Lower profit overall, though net income still topped forecasts.
Despite macro headwinds and lower rates, all three banks saw their wealth management business pick up the slack as trading and fee income strengthened.
This quarter’s key watchpoints for 3 banks:
NIM resilience — Morningstar says DBS’s margin should hold up better than OCBC’s thanks to superior hedging and exposure to rebounding HK rates.
Insurance gains — OCBC’s Great Eastern unit posted a 36% YoY jump in Q3 profit.
Dividend potential — Citi expects OCBC to maintain a S$1.01/share dividend in 2025, with a possible special payout of S$0.16.

Given its track record of beating estimates and the bank’s strong momentum from record AUM and robust trading income, I’m optimistic about a positive market reaction after the results. Investors have been rewarding consistency and profitability, and DBS checks both boxes.
That’s why I’m predicting DBS will deliver good earnings and close at S$56 next Friday. As for which bank might set a new high, my vote goes to DBS — the fundamentals and sentiment both look too strong to ignore. ✨📈

I am a long term investor of DBS and it has rewarded me well with great dividends and excellent capital growth.
Which bank can break out to new record highs after earnings?
My vote goes to DBS. It hit a record high on October 7 soaring to reach SGD 54.80. It is a short hop to go above SGD 55.00 and beyond .
DBS is undoubtedly my best performing Singapore stock in October.
Go Long Go Strong Go DBS🥰🥰🥰🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰

A total of 40 Tigers guessed correctly.
There were two questions — answers such as “DBS will not close above S$55” or “OCBC will hit a new high” were considered correct.
Congratulations to these 40 winners, each receiving 25 Tiger Coins, sharing a total of 1,000 coins!
2. Post-earnings breakouts to fresh record highs are still possible, but conditions differ. UOB has the cleanest path to fresh highs if it delivers a strong quarter, because its last rally was earnings-driven and the market has shown willingness to re-rate it. DBS has the next best chance, but upside is already priced more tightly. OCBC’s risk-reward is more muted and consensus does not imply urgency for a breakout. In short: UOB most likely will set new high.
Here’s the reasoning:
Arguments against closing above S$55
• Current analyst consensus for DBS is clustered around ~S$52–S$54 for the 12-month horizon. For example: the average target is ~S$52.98.
• In fact, one research house has flagged that the share is “trading close to fair value (S$54)” and has downgraded DBS from Buy to Hold.
• So, S$55 is above many of the targets (and the implied upside is modest) — hitting above S$55 in a single week would require a catalyst (very strong macro surprise, excellent earnings preview, etc).
• From a risk-perspective: banks are sensitive to interest‐rate outlooks, credit cost surprises, macro weakness — any negative surprise could ease off momentum.

大華銀行：由於貸款收入下滑幅度超過預期，淨利潤下降6%。
華僑銀行：總體利潤較低，但淨利潤仍高於預期。
淨息差保持穩定，信貸撥備下降，幾家銀行甚至上調了下一季度的NII指引。
高盛投資銀行業務收入激增42%、摩根大通和花旗的費用猛增16%和17%，摩根大通有望發佈年利潤超過$50B連續第二年。
至于大华银行，短期压力较明显，贷款增长疲弱仍是隐忧。华侨银行则可能成为黑马，大东方保险部门盈利暴涨36%，再加上高股息预期，吸引稳定收益型资金。整体而言，这三家银行都能交出“稳健但不惊艳”的成绩单，但若要在短线看到突破，我会押注星展银行最有可能创新高。
i think DBS will reach new high
2. I think OCBC will set new high.
