Can SG Banks Continue to Outperform the S&P 500 This Year?

As the stock prices of Singapore's leading banks like DBS and UOB edge closer to their all-time highs, the question arises: Can these banks continue to outperform the S&P 500 this year? While Singapore banks have traditionally been a reliable source of dividend income and capital appreciation, several factors suggest that investors should exercise caution in the current market environment. 1. High Stock Prices and Valuation Concerns Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratios: DBS and UOB have seen significant growth in their stock prices, reaching near-record highs. While these stocks have been strong performers in recent years, high valuations often signal that the market has already priced in future growth. In other words, buying at high prices carries the risk of limited upside potential and an

In fact, for those who are familiar with Singapore stock market, the 3 local banks $DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$  $ocbc bank(O39.SI)$  $UOB(U11.SI)$   comprisesover 50% od straits time index total market cap weightage.  I think for those believer, slowly buy in (consider dollar cost average)  at small amount and it is too expensive to get the whole 1000shares.  Even if there is a drop, can continue average down at 4% to 5% yield provided you have the bullet to do so.

Singapore's banking sector experienced a remarkable surge in 2024, with DBS Group Holdings, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC), and United Overseas Bank (UOB) reaching unprecedented stock prices. This growth was driven by increased wealth management fees, robust trading income, and strategic capital management initiatives. In contrast, the S&P 500 Index (SPX) in the United States also saw significant gains, rising by approximately 23% over the same period. This growth was largely fueled by advancements in artificial intelligence and cooling inflation. As we enter 2025, the critical question for investors is whether Singapore banks can continue to outperform the SPX. To assess this, we must examine several key factors: 1.

All-Time High Alert: Are DBS, OCBC, and UOB the Best Buys to Beat the S&P 500 in 2025?

Singapore’s banking giants—DBS, OCBC, and UOB—have had a phenomenal 2024, with all three achieving all-time highs and pulling back slightly after impressive rallies. DBS leads the pack with a staggering 52% gain, while OCBC and UOB have also delivered robust performances, contributing to over 30% gains across the sector. The question on every investor's mind is: can these banks maintain their momentum and continue to outperform the S&P 500 in 2025? What Drove the Record-Breaking Performance in 2024? Rising Net Interest Margins (NIM): The tightening monetary policies from the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Monetary Authority of Singapore earlier in the year boosted interest margins for the banks, significantly increasing profitability. As global inflation stabilized, these banks capitaliz

As of recent market developments, both DBS and OCBC have hit new highs, a notable achievement for these two banking giants. This raises the question: Can United Overseas Bank (UOB) also reach similar heights? The potential for UOB to achieve new highs depends on several key factors, including its financial performance, market conditions, strategic initiatives, and broader economic trends. **1. Financial Performance and Comparisons** First and foremost, UOB’s financial performance in comparison to DBS and OCBC will be a critical factor. DBS and OCBC have seen strong growth in earnings, with their performance buoyed by higher interest rates, strong loan growth, and diversified revenue streams. If UOB can report similar or better results, particularly in key areas like net interest margins (N
Yesterday, a hunch led me to believe that OCBC $ocbc bank(O39.SI)$  had the potential for growth. My intuition proved correct as the stock price that i buy surged from $16.82 to $17.42 today, representing a remarkable 3.57% increase within a single day. This experience highlights the importance of recognizing market trends and acting upon one's instincts. While past performance is not indicative of future results, this successful prediction serves as a reminder that careful observation and a keen understanding of market dynamics can yield profitable investment opportunities. As I am a long term investor trust that OCBC can give lovely dividends Trusting your instincts, when supported by sound analysis, can lea
$ocbc bank(O39.SI)$   Seems super bullish for OCBC today. Understand target price from Phillips Securities is 18.80. Hope that OCBC will reach that target price progressively. Dividend is still very good at abt 5%. The dividend policy is to maintain a 50% payout ratio with respect to its net profit.  Go go go OCBC! [Smile]  [Smile]
