our local banks still earn billions in profits and give good dividends. It's not as if their profits fell off a cliff. So if price comes down a bit I might even buy more

Singapore bank stocks are still a good investment with good dividend payout. 

With the rate cycle on its downward trend until 2027, couple with global trades and supply chains uncertainties, 2026 will mark the end of bull cycle for banks with progressive revaluations and/or corrections towards realistic fundamentals. $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$  may have additional uncertainty given its insurance income component which has been evident in its Y25Q4 result. As an investor, it is time to assess trims and capital recycling if not already embarked on this journey. 😁 

UOB profit dropped but read an article that mentioned it beats expectations. So think can buy more if price dips further. Waiting OCBC report to digest the relative performance of the 3 big banks.

🏦 $UOB(U11.SI)$ Q4 & FY25 earnings just dropped, and the market reaction was swift with a 4% slide! The stock is now sitting flat YTD for 2026. Where does Singapore’s banking giant go from here? We broke down the data. 🟢 BULLS (Score 3.4): Pointing to core resilience! UOB beat FY25 net profit estimates at S$4.68B. Asset quality remains rock solid with NPL at 1.5%, Q4 fee income is growing, and they maintained a highly sustainable dividend payout. 🔴 BEARS (Score 4.0): Focused on the heavy headwinds. Q4 profit missed expectations, down 7% YoY, while full-year profit plunged 23%. Net Interest Margins (NIM) are under severe pressure, and management just trimmed their 2026 fee-growth guidance. ⚖️ The Bears take the lead today on near-term re

$OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$  is due for correction as its current price is overvalued. DBS Q4 net profit dip 5.6% and stock price correction for following days after report out. UOB Q4 net profit dip 7.4% and same day correction peaked at 4.64% ($37.00). OCBC should follow suit and perhaps Q4 net profit dip may be between 6.2%-6.8%. 😁 Time for those who trimmed during OCBC Jan-Feb peak price $27.7x to redeploy again. 😂

I will hold Singapore bank for long term as it still core to Singapore.

🌟🌟🌟The 4.6% drop in UOB $UOB(U11.SI)$  following its earnings release this morning has clearly rattled the market, especially as it follows record highs across the STI Index.  To determine if this is a Buying opportunity or a Bye, we have to look past the headline miss. The Knee Jerk Reaction from the Market  The sell off was likely a reaction to 3 specific unpleasant surprises that the market did not like: Dividend Cut:  The SGD 0.71 final dividend was a 23% drop from last year.  This hurts income seeking investors who were spoiled by DBS's recent generosity. Guidance Trim:  CEO Wee Ee Cheong's more cautious outlook on 2026 fee growth - now in high single digits, suggests the post Cit

UOB’s FY25 Audit: A 200-Basis Point Spread in a Season of "Vanishing Customers" |🦖EP1446 I have been watching the local bank earnings reports roll in over the last week and something clicked for me regarding UOB that I felt compelled to share with our community of 6,000+ subscribers. While the mainstream headlines are busy celebrating a record fee income of $2.6 billion, I spent my evening digging into the footnotes of the wholesale credit provisions. There is a clear gap between the glossy narrative of a victory lap and the hard math of a 23 percent profit plunge. It feels like a celebration. But here is the uncomfortable truth: that attractive dividend is currently sitting on an engine showing signs of stress. When we look at the yield spread, we see a risk premium of only 86 basis point

$UOB(U11.SI)$    UOB Group reported an operating profit of S$7.7 billion for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 (FY25), driven by strong fee momentum across our wholesale banking and retail banking businesses. Net profit for FY25 moderated 23% to S$4.7 billion from the previous year, largely due to the pre-emptive general allowances that the Group proactively set aside in the third quarter to strengthen provision coverage amid growing macroeconomic uncertainties. The Board recommends the payment of a final dividend of 71 cents per ordinary share. Together with the interim dividend of 85 cents per ordinary share, the total dividend for FY25 will be S$1.56per ordinary share, representing a payout ratio of approximately 50%. In rec

$UOB(U11.SI)$  it took DBS about 5 trade days to stop the drop after reporting. Will history repeat here?  When DBS - being the biggest bank reporting profit drop, my six sense told me likely all local banks may face similar outcome. 😅 Let's see the next reporting by ocbc...hopefully i am wrong and ocbc can be better.
