Reward 500 Tiger-coins$DBS(D05.SI)$ and $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ both pushed to new intraday highs of $56 and $19.47, supported by strong wealth-management fees, solid capital-return plans, and attractive dividend yields.
Even as interest rates are expected to fall, analysts see Singapore banks as resilient, backed by:
Wealth-management fees offsetting NIM pressure 5%–6% implied yields into 2026 Buybacks and dividends supporting share prices.
Between the two, OCBC looks cheaper on valuation, while DBS continues to offer strong dividend visibility.

I am grateful that both DBS and OCBC are performing well and a deep feeling of being secure, knowing that my capital is parked in the backbone of Singapore's economy, protected by solid returns and nice juicy dividends.
Grateful that I have invested in our strong Singapore banks that are dominating the wealth management space and delivering great value to shareholders.
Go Long Go Strong Go DBS and OCBC 🥰🥰🥰🚀🚀🚀🌛🌛🌛💰💰💰🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬

Between the two, I appreciate DBS for its consistency and dividend clarity, while OCBC adds value with a slightly cheaper valuation and improving fee momentum. Even with some NIM pressure ahead, the overall package still feels resilient, especially when buybacks and dividends continue to support share prices.
I also use DLCs $DBS 5xLongSG280330(LQSW.SI)$ $OCBC 5xLongSG261217(TUAW.SI)$ selectively to enhance returns during strong trends, and this recent move has worked out well. It’s not about chasing excitement — it’s about compounding quietly, collecting yield, and letting time do the heavy lifting.

If positions were held, they would offer stability and reliability, though current record highs and the fear of overpaying make any further accumulation a cautious decision
Years ago, bank stocks were often bought and sold for quick gains, but hindsight brings regret for not holding long-term to benefit from their stability and reliability。。。
Re-entering the market at these levels is daunting due to the fear of potential corrections or a crash, leading to hesitation despite the knowledge that occasional pullbacks are a known part of the cycle
The fear of "buying high" currently outweighs the regret of early selling, even though these stocks are recognized as effective defensive compounders
While no positions are currently held in these banks, the focus remains on existing Singapore defensive holdings in the hope that they will also deliver robust performance and steady returns
