DBS Keeps Falling: Add Now or Wait for $50 SGD?

STI fell another 2% today. The three banks — DBS, OCBC and UOB — also go down. DBS loses $55 and may be heading to $50. Would you buy the dip now or wait for lower price?

I’ve been looking at DBS (SGX: D05) recently. It’s a classic "boring but brilliant" story. While the current price action might look shaky to the uninitiated, for long-term investors, this recent pullback isn't a signal to panic; it's an opportunity to accumulate. Here is my professional breakdown of why DBS remains a core holding and a prime candidate for Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) right now. 1. The "Falling Knife" vs. The "Blue-Chip Sale" Yes, the stock is currently falling. But we need to differentiate between structural decline and profit-taking/correction. · Context is key: In many cases, when a blue chip of this caliber drops, it’s usually due to macro headwinds (interest rate speculation, global economic fears) rather than a deterioration of the business itself. · The Opportunity:

very good !!!!!!!!!!
Wait for 50 and add in bulk. For most Singaporeans it will be a DCA above their existing price but it will still pay off!

DBS is still considered one of the strongest banks in Asia: ✔ Strong capital ratios ✔ Consistent dividend payer ✔ High ROE among global banks ✔ Singapore’s dominant retail bank Long-term investors usually is just pullbacks as accumulation zones.

Buy, slowly and steadily. When gold was at 150 per gram they say it cannot go up anymore. Its now 212 per gram. [Smile]

Is it me, or does seem like everyone is overreacting and expressing sentiments of both extremes, some having enough enthusiasm that the market should be recovering, with others believing that it was a crash. Firstly, calling it a crash seems disingenuous at best and malicious at worst. Crash seems to imply something went seriously wrong out of nowhere, but almost everyone took a hit because of the Iran crisis. Anything outside of oil, defence related companies and safe assets like gold, was expected to take a hit. If anything, the rally now might be a false dawn with everyone wanting to delude themselves into believing that everything is fine. Secondly, with the president of the united states, everyone would do well to temper their expectations. He is too chaotic and whimsic

$DBS(D05.SI)$ : The Dividend Powerhouse The dip was triggered by Q4 provisions and tax costs—a classic case of the market punishing anything that isn't a "perfect beat." However, with a 38% surge in dividends, DBS remains the strongest "cash cow" of the three.

UOB: The High-Reward Recovery Play UOB saw the sharpest profit decline (-23%), largely due to a massive S$1 billion preemptive provision in Q3. The current sell-off reflects market jitters over ASEAN trade and new tariffs.

Why DBS Slide Is A Golden Opportunity

🌟🌟🌟The Year of the Fire Horse has just delivered a classic Black Swan event.  As of March 2, the Straits Times Index (STI) had slid to 4,890, dragged down by a 5.9% plunge in SATS and a 4.7% drop in Singapore Airlines.  While the weak hands are panic selling at the worst possible moment, I am standing there with a bucket, ready to be greedy while others are fearful. The Banking Bastion: DBS at SGD 55 is a Wonderful Price  JPMorgan's SGD 70 target price for DBS:  When a titan like JPMorgan sets a target price for $DBS(D05.SI)$  it is not looking at the current headlines.  It is looking at the structural earnings power of DBS.  JPMorgan believes that DBS is transitioning from a regi

The USA fed delaying the cut of interest rates due to the USA -Iran war. The spore bank shares appear to be benefit from this delay of interest cut. However. Spore Reits will be negatively  impacted and share prices will drop due to interest rate is critical to reits capital borrowing costs.
Better stay on the sideline till Trump term is over
Wait for another round of falling 55 is still high
Grab the opportunity to load up now. The fear around the Iran situation does not change the narrative that DBS continue to be a solid business with an increasingly diversified income stream.
