🏦🔥 DBS & OCBC at Record Highs — The “Boring” Trade That Keeps Beating Everything 🔥🏦 While the market argues about rate cuts, AI bubbles, and the next 10-bagger… DBS and OCBC quietly hit new highs. • DBS ~$56 • OCBC ~$19.47 No hype. No storytelling. Just cash, discipline, and compounding. And that’s exactly why this matters. ⸻ 🧨 The Big Misconception: “Rate Cuts Will Kill Bank Stocks” That’s true — for old-school banks. But SG banks have already evolved: • Wealth-management fees now cushion NIM pressure • Fee income is becoming a core earnings driver • Less dependence on pure lending spreads DBS and OCBC are no longer just banks — they are Asia wealth platforms wearing a bank licence. ⸻ 💰 Why These Highs Are Different Let’s be clear: These highs are not speculative highs. They are suppo

DBS 🚀🚀🚀 Held since $19

Congrats! Looks like its still going strong.. seem like no xhance to get back ..[Smile]  

SG banks are great to invest for long term passive income and have attracted strong interest with prices are well supported by investors.

SG banks are the stable dividend providers 

[USD][USD] It has been a good year 2025 for $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ with a total return of 25% including dividends. This is one of its strongest performances in the past 15 years. Both large , mid- and small-cap stocks are up with trading activity clearly heating up. I believe SGX stocks still have upside in 2026. We should keep a portion of our investment portfolio for SGX stocks because it is clearly a safe haven.

I started accumulating over time the 3 Singapore banking shares (DBS, UOB, OCBC) since more than 25 years ago.  I started buying DBS as low as $18 and OCBC $4.   My original intent was to have them serve as my retirement nest egg.  The dividend payout was consistently at 5-6% yoy.   The total values plus the dividends payout had compounded to about 5 times of the initial invested amount.   This is definitely able to combat the inflation impact over time.    Since I joined Tiger platform, I started accumulating more of these banking shares.  I also invest in US, HK stock, options and other SG counters in a balanced manner because I believe all eggs must not be in one basket, neither should all baskets be in the same building.   Investing in SG ba

Buy now. 10 years later this new high will looks normal.

 🌟🌟🌟While the rest of the world chases the volatile highs of AI and crypto, a powerful story of resilience and wealth is being written right here in Singapore.  Recently the market watched in awe as DBS$DBS(D05.SI)$  and OCBC $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$  surged to new highs, proving that these are not just "local banks" - they are Global Wealth Powerhouses. Resilience in the Face of Falling Rates  The big question on every investor's mind :  What happens when interest rates fall?  The narrative for 2025 and 2026 has shifted.  Analysts now see our Big 3 Banks as remarkably resilient. The secret sauce?  We

I only hold OCBC and DBS indirectly via ETF. so far it has been very rewarding with good capital appreciation and dividend collected along the way boosting returns. I see more upside with the focus on wealth management paying off and strict capital structure position the local banks for future success

$DBS(D05.SI)$ $UOB(U11.SI)$ $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ Singapore's banking giants are flexing hard today, with DBS hitting a fresh intraday high of $55.33 and OCBC peaking at $19.45 on December 17, 2025, riding a wave of robust wealth-management fees that jumped 25% in Q3 and solid capital-return strategies keeping investors hooked. 😎 These moves aren't random – they're backed by resilient business models that shrug off falling interest rates, with wealth inflows offsetting NIM squeezes and dividend yields clocking 5%-6% into 2026 for that reliable cash flow drip. Buybacks are cranking too, propping up shares amid global jitters, turning these banks into quiet com

DBS and OCBC are the best. Better than UOB the lagger. DBS is better than OCBC in returns for the last 3 to 4 years.  Want to buy more DBS, but it doesn't dip low enough.

here to win some coins!!!

As others have stated, the constant valuation climb is a happy benefit, the dividend would be most rational investors' main goal. I am happy that it has been keeping up the percentage even while valuations climb

One word to describe my experience in holding these 2 bank stocks is "steady" especially $DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$

I think both banks will continue to rise even if there is a short fall now. I am still saving up my money to buy one of these banks... Till yet still not enough to buy any of these banks.
