x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Do note that the quoted figures on enterprise values (EV) of the respective banks may not be 100% accurate as these figures were taken from different sources and EV will change over time. However, from the EVs, one can gain an appreciation on the magnitude of size of operations and value of different banks/companies. jeremyow      ( Date: 17-Mar-2016 15:14) Posted: Enterrpise value (EV) of OCBC bank is around $2B. EV of Maybank Malaysia is around $47B, 23 times larger in value than OCBC. EV of Wells Fargo Bank (one of the biggest four banks in America) is around $556B in value, 276 times larger in value than OCBC. If we compare these banks in terms of their enterprise value, OCBC seems like a small operation in magnitude. Unless OCBC has very good showing in its growth potential in future, then it may become attractive as an acquisition target. As of current, I think other much larger banks would do better to focus on their organic growth rather than acquire OCBC a much smaller operation.       Qanghoo      ( Date: 14-Mar-2016 14:25) Posted: Take over?  Not any of the bks anyway - OCBC, spore' s oldest bk, been around since 1932.  Who' s gonna make an offer?  Anyway, even if there' s an offer at 20/share, it' s not likely to go through.  All the ah peks holding with their retirement savings will still complain it' s too low.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Now, we are witnessing how sentiment-driven the mkt is.  If FED are gonna loosen a bit on rate hikes, USD shd retreat against SGD, SIBOR shd trend down slightly too.  This shdn' t be a positive for the bks' NIM  here.  Yet, all three bks seem to chiong like crazy now.  The recessionomists can go n jump now.
