recently raised A$2.00 billion through its Sydney Branch via A$750.00 million floating rate and A$1.25 billion 5.023% fixed rate senior unsecured notes due 2031, alongside issuing S$850.00 million 3.00% perpetual Additional Tier 1 capital securities under its US$30.00 billion Global Medium Term Note Programme. The strong investor take-up, competitive pricing versus Australian peers, and the use of loss-absorbing perpetual capital securities highlight UOB’s ability to access diversified funding while reinforcing its regulatory capital structure. We will now examine how this successful A$2.00 billion funding exercise, anchored by robust demand, shapes United Overseas Bank’s broader investment narrative. Uncover the next big thing with financially sound penny stocks that balance risk and reward.AdvertisementWhat Is United Overseas Bank's Investment Narrative?For UOB, the investment case still rests on a large, profitable ASEAN franchise with high quality earnings and disciplined capital return, even if growth expectations are moderate and the stock screens slightly expensive on traditional multiples. The recent A$2.00 billion senior notes and S$850.00 million Additional Tier 1 issuance fit neatly into that story: they show UOB can tap deep offshore markets at competitive levels while reinforcing loss absorbing capital, which should support its ability to sustain dividends and the new S$2.00 billion buyback over time. At the same time, a relatively low bad loan allowance and a less seasoned management team keep asset quality and execution near the top of investors’ risk checklist. Overall, the new funding looks incrementally positive rather than a major catalyst. However, investors should be aware of how UOB’s low bad loan allowance could affect resilience.\n\nUnited Overseas Bank's shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued by 40%. Find out what it's worth.Exploring Other PerspectivesSGX:U11 1-Year Stock Price Chart Nine Simply Wall St Community members see UOB’s fair value anywhere between about S$32.87 and S$65.33, underscoring wide disagreement.
