if you go to any banking thread like DBS posts, you only get people taking about profits, earnings, % yields or dividends, and nothing else, nothing about its current developments or happenings.... they said banks are very boring, nothing exciting, nothing much to read..... well, said who?.... I managed to pick up the following website stuffs from the black market.... yes the uneducated black market gangsters   ....,these are information which people who owns tens of thousands of DBS shares would source for and read them ....... unlike one BitchyT clown who can only afford 5 lots DynaMac, so can only afford 100 DBS shares but keep on tcss on DBS like as if he owns thousands of DBS........ when you can only afford 5 lots DYNA MAC worth $3000, where can u afford more than 100 DBS shares ?,,,,,,.   want to bluff also must have brains la......
For those serious, genuine investors,following are some positive stuffs (OF JUZ THE PAST 3 MONTHS!) that you may find useful, if you have not already knew them.... if you are too lazy to read all, juz read the headlines...... but if u managed to go thru all, u will understand at least in part, why DBS IS SO BLOODY STRONG...... those unbelievable target prices in the post below are not impossible to believe.......

DBS shares hit $50 after Q2 profit beats forecast on strong wealth fees, trading income
https://www.straitstimes.com/business/banking/dbs-q2-profit-up-1-to-2-82-billion-on-strong-wealth-fees-and-trading-income-beats-expectations
DBS chief executive officer Tan Su Shan said at a results briefing that it was a " tough" quarter, given tariff uncertainties and falling interest rates, but the bank mitigated these headwinds with balance sheet management and deposit volume growth.
Ms Tan explained that the bank projected net interest income in 2025 to exceed 2024 levels despite declining interest rates as higher volumes can drive net interest income growth.
" Focus on net interest income. Don&rsquo t focus on net interest margin, because it will go down with the markets, but net interest income can go up with volumes and that&rsquo s how you mitigate that. That will keep you resilient and hopefully keep you ahead," she said.
This one not from gangsters but some black market coffee shop talk......still quite unbelievable or believable, whichever way u see it

Yesterday' s selling was unjustified.
DBS is my top choice of the 3 banks for a good recovery.   
UOB is next.

Lol.  The few usual and obvious ones.  Immediately comes their negative views after selling.  Threads like DBS, Seatrium, etc.

DBS capital return dividend of 15 cents per quarter:
DBS capital return dividend of 15 cents per quarter:
 
The dividend yield of 6.5%-6.8% for DBS means that investors can expect an annual return of 6.5%-6.8% on their investment purely from dividends, based on the current stock price.
 
The capital return dividend of 15 cents per quarter refers to an additional dividend payout that DBS has introduced, beyond its regular dividends. This means:
 
DBS will distribute SGD 0.15 per share every quarter on top of its usual dividends.
Over the full year, this adds up to SGD 0.60 per share in extra returns.
 
This additional payout is part of a strategy to return excess capital to shareholders, likely due to DBS&rsquo s strong balance sheet and profitability.
 
Impact on Investors:
Higher Total Dividends: The combined regular dividend + capital return dividend means higher total payouts for investors.
Attractive Income Stock: A 6.5%-6.8% dividend yield makes DBS one of the highest-yielding blue-chip stocks in Singapore.
Consistent Payouts: Since DBS has committed to this extra dividend for at least FY2025-2027, investors can expect stable and predictable returns.
 
In Simple Terms:
DBS is giving shareholders extra money on top of its regular dividends, making it a high-yield income stock. If you hold DBS shares, you&rsquo ll receive more frequent and higher payouts every quarter. 🚀
 
Thank you
 
 
No daily timetable. Just continues through the year. Watch for SGX announcements whenever they buy back

$50 OTOT...........ahh
My understanding of the sbb is along this line too :)

Yeah,... they increased their stakes in Alliance Bank of Msia & The Rural Shenzhen Comm Bank of China last year,... I was silently hoping these purchases have not consumed up their major funds and left none for rewarding shareholders,... I' m glad they have announced the Capital Return program.

Has the mgmt given a schedule, or a timetable ?

Looks like all 3 banks poised to march into new territories
Not aware that SBB is depending on SP though.  Thanks for your views..
chengwh1 ( Date: 10-Feb-2025 08:47) Posted:

No, the sbb will take place throughout the year minus blackout periods irregardless of share price.
chengwh1 ( Date: 10-Feb-2025 08:47) Posted:

I think the SBB program will only be deployed if the sp drops to a low level as determined by the mgmt. It won' t be deployed at current price and at current time today. The 3bil set aside will be used to support the sp ! And one round has already been deployed a few weeks back, if my memory serves me correctly...
