DBS's 4Q Net Profit Likely Flat on Year -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-26

0236 GMT - DBS's 4Q net profit was likely flat on year but down sequentially, UOB Kay Hian analyst Jonathan Koh writes in a research note. The Singapore bank is expected to post milder net interest margin compression. Loan growth during the quarter likely rose 2.5% on year and 1% on quarter, due to muted expansion of corporate loans and residential mortgages. "Fees from transaction services and loans-related activities are likely to be seasonally softer, but offset by seasonal strength from cards," Koh says. UOB KH maintains its buy rating on DBS and target price of S$68.95. Shares are last up 0.1% at S$58.73. (amanda.lee@wsj.com)
