Just picked up 100 shares of DBS at 57.92. 📉 Still holding strong.

I know the FY2025 numbers show a bit of a dip, and seeing the Big Three in the red today might look scary to some. But after digging into the results, I’m not sweating this drop at all.

Here’s why I’m holding my ground:

That 38% Dividend Boost: DBS is still the "Dividend King" for a reason. Missing Q4 estimates is a short-term hurdle, but that payout hike tells me the management isn't worried about their long-term cash flow.

The "Dip" is Relative: My entry at 57.920 might be underwater right now, but for a bank as well-capitalized as DBS, these fluctuations are part of the cycle. I’m playing the long game here.

Market Overreaction?: It feels like the market is reacting heavily to the 2026 "cautious outlook," but if you're looking for stability in the SG market, where else would you go?

I’m seeing this as a cooling period rather than a crash. I’m happy to collect the dividends while the market figures itself out.

Anyone else buying this dip, or are you waiting for it to bottom out more?

DBS Keeps Falling: Add Now or Wait for $50 SGD?
STI fell another 2% today. The three banks — DBS, OCBC and UOB — also go down. DBS loses $55 and may be heading to $50. Would you buy the dip now or wait for lower price?

    If you think about it, that FY2026 base dividend of $0.81 per Qtr gives you a $3.24 per share downside protection. And  also a good indicator of when is your next buy the dip target from your cost avg.

    I own 400 DBS shares at 57.61 and will hold tight so I don’t think you have any reason to fear!
