DBS Likely to Sustain Earnings Growth Momentum This Year -- Market Talk

Dow Jones08-08

0547 GMT - DBS Group's profit after tax and minority interests is likely to rise 6% on year, RHB Research analysts say in a report, as they raise the stock's target price to S$41.40 from S$41.20. The Singapore bank's 2Q results beat estimates and management has raised PATMI growth forecast to mid-to-high single digit from 'above 2023 levels', the analysts note. The bank's wealth momentum remained strong in July and should do well in a falling rates environment, the analysts add. RHB raises its 2024 earnings forecast for DBS by around 3%, after the bank's better-than-expected 2Q results and update to management's guidance. RHB keeps a buy rating on the stock, which was last 0.3% lower at S$33.56.(amanda.lee@wsj.com)
