Looks like some speculative buying before the result announcement.
ATH of 53.24 done on 10 Sep.
Thereafter, down all the way until yesterday started to reverse.
Anticipating for good results?
6 Nov is the day.

Markets behave strangely. At least to bear...
Investors don't like fairly high valuations?
But...
Bear likes high valuations!

Today is very low volume.
Few more days to end of qtr.
Preliminary figures show that loan growth, commercial, mortgage, etc, all very good.
Hope DBS doing as well.
More or less can mitigate the rates cut.

Haha, I have nothing against stock split.
OCBC did one many years back.
I only hope DBS do not do it.
And yes, share price alone does not make a mega counter - it' s market cap.
Likewise, small cap or even mid cap stock, exception asides, also wouldn' t.

DBS' s 6% yield coupled with clear message and steady growth attract investors
What has been unmistakable this year is the rise and rise of DBS Group Holdings&rsquo share price. Although it isn&rsquo t the top performer in the Straits Times Index in terms of share price, up just 14% compared with 80% for ST Engineering and more than 50% for Hongkong Land, DBS&rsquo s share price has been rising steadily for the past 10 years. In a decade, up its share price, excluding dividends, is up 3.5x.
In 2017, DBS paid a special dividend. It appeared to be a one-off. But then the bank started to step up its dividends regularly. In 2023, DBS announced it would pay six cents more per quarter, or 24 cents a year. In 2Q2025, DBS paid a core dividend of 60 cents per share per quarter, and 15 cents in a capital return dividend, taking total payout in 1H2025 to $1.50, or $3 a year. This translates into a dividend yield of around 6% based on a $50 share price.
DBS has also announced a $3 billion share buyback in November last year. &ldquo There was a clear articulation of how we were thinking about our surplus capital relative to our Common Equity Tier 1 operating range of 12.5% to 13.5%. Beyond ordinary dividends, excess capital would be returned through buybacks and Capital Return dividends over 3 years. The markets are very clear about our trajectory for capital return. That is a big differentiator for us, because we can articulate our capital return framework clearly,&rdquo says Chng Sok Hui, group CFO, DBS Group Holdings, in a recent interview.
While a local investor receives a 6% dividend yield, returns to an investor whose home currency is the USD are likely to be higher. The US dollar is depreciating as part of the current US administration&rsquo s policy. If US dollars are deployed into SGD, US investors get an even higher return than local investors. There has also been an influx of liquidity into Singapore which is probably looking for assets to deploy in. These monies are likely to find a home in big-cap index stocks. Since its 2Q2025 results announcement, DBS has traded above $50.
&ldquo The clarity of our capital management strategy, balance sheet strategy, investor-day communications and investor guidance are supported by our nowcasting and forecasting models. We continually test our assumptions about deposits growth, pass-through rates (from the US), SGD and USD interest rate sensitivities, as well as when our loans or hedges will roll off. We explain how outcomes change under different rate scenarios. We have robust models, and therefore by guiding consistently and delivering what we say, we build credibility,&rdquo Chng explains.
The full interview with DBS&rsquo s CFO will be featured in The Edge Singapore&rsquo s The CFO Interview at a later date.
and i was told that OCBC is the smallest bank amongst the 3 big.
and i said, u r a genius.

A lot of retail investors may not understand metrics and financial statements. You will be surprised by the number of people telling me OCBC is cheaper than DBS because 1/3 the price.

Markets sold off after Powell said six words investors don' t want to hear: " Equity prices are fairly highly valued"
https://fortune.com/2025/09/24/stocks-market-selling-the-fed-powell-equity-prices-are-fairly-highly-valued/
Financially, you are correct - stock splits doesn' t really change anything.
Even the 1-for-10 we got 2 years ago when Gupta claimed that it was not a stock split and was a bonus is a red herring. What happened was retained earnings were transferred to share capital but total equity did not change. But market believed and share price recovered within hours while I sat at the terminal buying.
The real reason why companies do stock split is to give the optics that shares are cheaper and continue buying. This is why US companies kept doing 1-to-10 splits. Take extreme case NVDA. Since 2000, it has split 6 times keeping the price around $100-$200. If it has not done so, share price of each NVDA today is aound $11k. Nobody will buy because they will keep comparing with $200.
P/s: Wait for < $50 and you can catch up :)

Stock split will not affect your TOTAL dividend (or even share earnings). E.g. if dividend was $2 per share, after 1 for 2 split, it will be $1 per share but your total dividend paid is still the same.
However, a lower share price will make it more " affordable" for retail investors assuming minimum lot maintains at 100 share but retail investors don' t move share price. Also, the same effect can be achieved with a lower lot size like 10 (even more " affordable" ).
A lower share price will affect the bid size ($0.001 if < $0.20, $0.01 if > = $1 else $0.005) but no way DBS will do a 1 for 50 split to price around $1 per share.
Finally, I can only imagine $50 per share will be perceived as more premium and " blue chip" vs $25 per share. Perhaps, appeals to big boy investors to trade DBS shares?

Btw I do hope it splits. My holding now is xx,x80. That is 4k.
Though I am not urgent, as I intend to hold for long time.

Thanks for replying.
I can see that there is no obvious benefit for stock split. But I am not so clear the downside of it. A mega stock should be measured by its market cap rather than share price.

AI Overview
Yes, United Overseas Bank (UOB) is directly affected by the $1.3 billion loan issue in Hong Kong, as it is the lender for a loan tied to the Shimao Group' s luxury Beacon Peak development.
The loan' s maturity was extended by UOB because attempts to sell it to private credit investors failed, highlighting the ongoing difficulty in the Hong Kong property market and the bank' s need to avoid booking losses.
The loan' s maturity was extended by UOB because attempts to sell it to private credit investors failed, highlighting the ongoing difficulty in the Hong Kong property market and the bank' s need to avoid booking losses.
Here' s a breakdown of the situation:
-
The Loan:UOB extended a loan facility worth approximately $1.3 billion (HK$10 billion) to the Shimao Group for the Beacon Peak luxury apartment complex in Hong Kong.
-
The Problem:The loan was due on September 30, and Shimao failed to sell the facility to private credit funds, according to people familiar with the matter.
-
UOB' s Response:To avoid booking losses from a prolonged property slump and a failed sale, UOB extended the loan' s maturity.
-
Market Impact:The prolonged slump in Hong Kong' s property market has made it difficult for developers like Shimao to raise cash. UOB is forced to " kick the can down the road" by extending the loan to mitigate potential losses.
-
Consequences for UOB:The bank' s exposure to this loan is growing and has become a significant liability rather than a simple lending success.

Contemplating whether to write or not to write, the whole morning.
Most here already knew my reason for opposing stock split,
to write again will be annoying to them.
Maybe I put it differently. What is the purpose of a stock split?
To make it affordable? I would think this is the upmost important factor.
Can anybody share other reason?
Assuming affordability is the sole reason for stock split,
then it is not necessary for DBS to do it. Current minimum per transaction is 100 units.
This is to say, at current price, one needs $5k+ to own just 100 shares.
Frankly, expensive or not is up to individual to interpret.
Obviously, those who advocate stock split think it is.
To pacify, the authority is already working to bring down the minimum per transaction to 10 units.
At what price will they implement the change, I really do not know.
Said $60, that will mean one just have to fork out $600+ to start off.
If it is still too expensive for you, probably stock investment is not for you.
If one day DBS go above multiple of $100s, the authority may even bring down the minimum per transaction to just one stock!
It is not unthinkable there are already many oversea stocks that one can buy one share at a time.
If no convincing reason, other than affordability, is presented, I will still oppose stock split.
For the benefit of the minority, let me state again, why I oppose split.
It is not for individual sake. Neither is it for selfish reason.
It is for the good of our Exchange. What we lack is mega counter.
Counters that have high share prices. DBS is fast becoming one.
Few other counters, especially the other two banks, also have the potential.
Exchange with mega stocks tend to attract more attention and liquidity.
Low valuation, low liquidity, are our main problems.
Once we tackle it, it will result in more IPOs, which our exchange badly needs.
We may even attract secondary listings from overseas mega stocks.
It took DBS many years to reach this pricing.
Please do not carry out any counter action to spoil the show.

Dbs is good to buy. Is Uob affected by the $1.3 billion loans issues in Hong Kong property market? Is the news true?
