Broker' s take: Maybank KE positive on Singapore, Thai banks
THU, JAN 28, 2021 - 3:30 PM

MAYBANK Kim Eng (MKE) has upgraded its sector outlook on Singapore banks to " positive" , while maintaining its recommendations on Thailand and Indonesia banks to " positive" and " neutral" respectively.

In a research note on Singapore banks, the brokerage noted that its " negative" call in November has not worked, given " strong market liquidity and expectations for more stimulus" .

" This momentum is likely to continue, buoyed by continued economic relaxing, targeted support for the vulnerable sectors and higher non-interest income due to market volatility," wrote analyst Thilan Wickramasinghe.

In addition, China' s forecast-beating Q4 expansion, strong rebounds in US banking results and a steepening yield curve offer positive read-throughs for Singapore banks, MKE said.

It added that stronger gross domestic product growth expectations regionally should support a rebound in loan growth momentum, and forecasts loans to expand 7 per cent year on year in 2021. Low policy rates could also support further fee income growth, particularly in wealth and fund management, while volatility may add to trading income upside, the brokerage said.

Taking a cue from Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) banking regulators, MKE is of the view that dividend caps could see gradual easing in 2021 and estimates caps to be relaxed to 80 per cent of 2019 levels.

" While our earnings per share forecasts are unchanged pending Q4 results in February, the flush liquidity environment and stimulus expectations have us lowering cost of equity assumptions for the sector by 100-130 basis points," it said.

As such, the brokerage has raised its target price (TP) on DBS to S$29.78 from S$24.63, and likewise raised its TP on OCBC to S$12.24, up from S$9.29. Noting that the banks' larger exposure to North Asia should be a positive catalyst for an earlier recovery, MKE has upgraded its recommendations for DBS and OCBC to " buy" from " sell" previously.

It has also upgraded its call on UOB to " hold" from " sell" , and raised its TP on the lender to S$25.57, up from S$21.24.

Power by the 3 banks ....STI is going to hit 3000 today > ?  most likely 
What wld it be for 2021 ....much tougher to guess 
Dyodd

 

Whatever is the cap there are several positive factor this year as against last yr. ...
1. Due to large share buy back by all 3 banks ( esp DBS and ocbc) ....the EPS wld be better ( assume same profit ) and more so justify a better dividend per share 
2. USA has alrdy approved share buy back and if not wrong European side and talks are on about the dividend payout ......Spore is follower in this area 
3. LARGE provisions ....all can easily check it out are NOT used ?  definately a plus for this year .  till now 2021 should not have any other large provisions needed
Not looking into other points like econ and vaccine roll out etc ....I think the above 3 pts wld put our banks in a much better position 
DYODD
Happy investing. 

Goldfinger      ( Date: 12-Jan-2021 14:52) Posted: Worst of all, the cap was based on 2019 dividends, and not the intended dividend for 2020.  And the Banks are flush with cash and well able to pay as well.  Since, the fear of COVID is receding in Singapore, and there were no widespread corporate failures nor mortgage defaults, hopefully they can pay out the difference and return to the SGD1.32 per year dividend for DBS. FATABA      ( Date: 12-Jan-2021 10:08) Posted: LOL I am also wishing for this angpow ....even if it go to 80% cap then current 60% ....I wld b happy .

 

HK and China markets continue their  Bull Market cheong today. 
Yet the SGX Circus Maximus is in the RED. 
Shameful.

Thank you.
