Before looking ahead, let’s review how the three local giants diverged in 2025—a key factor driving current market sentiment:

DBS surged 28%. Fueled by high dividend visibility and a boom in its wealth management segment, it was the undisputed market leader.

OCBC rose 19%. Investors were optimistic about its wealth management prospects and potential for further capital returns.

UOB fell 4%. The laggard of the group, weighed down by earnings disappointments and concerns over asset quality (particularly US and Greater China real estate exposure).

DBS Earnings Preview: Is $60 the Ceiling or a New Launchpad?
The "Alpha" of Singapore banking, DBS, is set to release its full-year 2025 and Q4 results on Monday, Feb 9. With the stock currently hovering near the $60 psychological barrier after a massive 2025 rally, all eyes are on whether this report will provide the momentum for a breakout. With the stock closing at S$59.66, we are just cents away from history. A. Breakout to $60+! Wealth management growth will shock the market; the rally continues. B. Buy the Rumor, Sell the Fact. Seasonal weakness and "priced-in" news lead to a pullback toward $58.
