CGS International forecasts a −3 bps sequential NIM decline, driven by falling SORA and HIBOR. 3-month SORA dropped sharply since the start of the year. DBS had already guided for SORA at 1.25% and two Fed rate cuts in 2026 — any rate path deviation will move guidance.
DBS Beats! $60 is Coming in May?
DBS reported Q1 2026 results with net profit of S$2.93B (+1% YoY), beating the Bloomberg consensus of S$2.88B. Shares closed +3.4% at S$58.50. Non-interest income and wealth management fees both hit all-time highs. Dividend raised to S$0.81/share from S$0.75 a year earlier. In a lower-rate world, DBS proved the model works — just not the way the market expected.
Up next: UOB (May 7) and OCBC (May 8).
