over.</p><p>Singapore’s three big banks have handed in their report cards in an environment of “higher-for-longer” interest rates.</p><p><strong>DBS Group</strong> (SGX: D05) was the first to report and announce a stellar set of results with net profit hitting a new record.</p><p><strong>United Overseas Bank</strong> (SGX: U11), or UOB, was next but delivered a subdued performance for 1Q 2024.</p><p><strong>OCBC Ltd</strong> (SGX: O39) was the last of the trio to announce its earnings and it, too, saw its net profit hit a new record.</p><p>If you are looking for one of the banks to invest in, you are in luck.</p><p>We place the three side by side to determine which is the best bank you should purchase.</p><h2 id=\"id_2540610619\">Financials</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/85f16851be4b0c8deeca9534a80240be\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"276\"/></p><p>Source: Banks’ Earnings Reports</p><p>First off, we look at each bank’s financial performance.</p><p>There was a wide spread across the trio with DBS leading the pack with a 12.6% year on year increase in total income.</p><p>DBS saw its net interest income rise 8% year on year while its fee and commission income hit a new high of S$1 billion for the quarter.</p><p>UOB, on the other hand, saw its total income remain flat year on year as its net interest income fell 2% year on year while fee income rose 5% year on year.</p><p>For net profit, DBS is the clear winner with a near-15% year on year rise to S$2.95 billion as expenses rose less than total income.</p><p>OCBC came in second place with a decent performance – its total income rose 8% year on year on the back of a 4% year-on-year increase in net interest income.</p><p>OCBC managed to improve its net profit for 1Q 2024 by 5% year on year to nearly S$2 billion.</p><p><strong>Winner: DBS</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_3203690406\">Loan book and net interest margin (NIM)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/6a0d1631d729f04a1db2678f1990e943\" tg-width=\"797\" tg-height=\"307\"/></p><p>Source: Banks’ Earnings Reports</p><p>Next, we examine each bank’s loan book and net interest margin (NIM).</p><p>The three banks all reported a year-on-year rise in their loan books with the average rise being around 2%.</p><p>For NIM, OCBC has the highest among the trio at 2.27% for 1Q 2024.</p><p>However, investors should note that OCBC’s NIM had dipped by 0.03 percentage points from 2.3% a year ago.</p><p>Its 1Q 2024 NIM was also lower than the previous quarter’s 2.29%.</p><p>DBS, on the other hand, reported a slight year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter increase for its NIM, which came in at 2.14% for 1Q 2024.</p><p>UOB saw the largest year-on-year NIM decline among the three banks with a 0.12 percentage point drop.</p><p>OCBC still emerges as the winner as its NIM is the highest while remaining fairly stable year on year.</p><p><strong>Winner: OCBC</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_2998773557\">Cost-to-income ratio (CIR)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/907ead3182a6e6226e65326476b63afb\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"217\"/></p><p>Source: Banks’ Earnings Reports</p><p>The next metric to look at is each bank’s cost-to-income ratio (CIR).</p><p>The CIR is the ratio of the bank’s total expenses to its total income and a lower ratio signifies that a bank has its expenses well-controlled.</p><p>OCBC is once again the winner here with the lowest CIR among the three banks for 1Q 2024.</p><p>However, credit should be given to DBS for improving its CIR both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.</p><p>While UOB also saw an improvement in its CIR, it was the only bank with its CIR consistently above 40%.</p><p><strong>Winner: OCBC</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_2158381337\">Non-performing loans (NPL) ratio</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/9d0bbec405f03b498d04ff8dc494fecc\" tg-width=\"802\" tg-height=\"217\"/></p><p>Source: Banks’ Earnings Reports</p><p>Moving on to the non-performing loans (NPL) ratio, OCBC once again is the winner with the lowest NPL ratio.</p><p>As a reminder, the NPL ratio measures the credit quality of a bank’s loan book.</p><p>Hence, a lower NPL ratio will imply that a bank’s loan book has a lower level of problematic borrowers.</p><p><strong>Winner: OCBC</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_2373484926\">Return on equity (ROE)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/2f645e00df00f75093db4ccab3ceacf1\" tg-width=\"801\" tg-height=\"221\"/></p><p>Source: Banks’ Earnings Reports</p><p>A bank’s return on equity measures the amount of profit generated per dollar of capital, so a higher ROE is a signal that a bank is more profitable with less capital.</p><p>On this front, DBS is the clear winner with its ROE hitting an all-time high of 19.4% for 1Q 2024.</p><p>DBS also saw a sharp increase of 3.2 percentage points for its ROE from the previous quarter (4Q 2023).</p><p>OCBC also saw a 2.3 percentage point ROE improvement while UOB’s improvement came in at just 0.2 percentage points over the same period.</p><p><strong>Winner: DBS</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_3580577200\">Valuation</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/dafa1f900a970d465b08c1d1aaeafa2b\" tg-width=\"798\" tg-height=\"217\"/></p><p>Source: Banks’ Earnings Reports</p><p>When it comes to valuation, DBS is the most expensive bank of the three with a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 1.64 times.</p><p>UOB and OCBC are both valued at 1.13 times and 1.16 times P/B, respectively, making them much more affordable compared to Singapore’s largest bank.</p><p><strong>Winner: UOB</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_2844377570\">Get Smart: A tough choice</h2><p>A clear decision is not easy in this case as both OCBC and DBS score points on different attributes.</p><p>While OCBC has the highest NIM and the lowest CIR and NPL ratio, DBS scores points in raising its net profit and knocking the ball out of the park with the highest ROE.</p><p>Investors need to decide which metrics are more important in their decision-making process.</p><p>Another factor to consider is that DBS pays out a quarterly dividend while the other two banks only pay dividends every six months.</p><p>For 1Q 2024, DBS declared an interim dividend of S$0.54 per share, a 42% increase over the prior year’s S$0.38.</p><p>Attention: Investors aiming for both growth and peace of mind.

earnings season for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024) is almost over.Singapore’s three big banks have handed in their report cards in an environment of “higher-for-longer” interest rates.DBS Group (SGX: D05) was the first to report and announce a stellar set of results with net profit hitting a new record.United Overseas Bank (SGX: U11), or UOB, was next but delivered a subdued performance for 1Q 2024.OCBC Ltd (SGX: O39) was the last of the trio to announce its earnings and it, too, saw its net profit hit a new record.If you are looking for one of the banks to invest in, you are in luck.We place the three side by side to determine which is the best bank you should purchase.FinancialsSource: Banks’ Earnings ReportsFirst off, we look at each bank’s financial performance.There was a wide spread across the trio with DBS leading the pack with a 12.6% year on year increase in total income.DBS saw its net interest income rise 8% year on year while its fee and commission income hit a new high of S$1 billion for the quarter.UOB, on the other hand, saw its total income remain flat year on year as its net interest income fell 2% year on year while fee income rose 5% year on year.For net profit, DBS is the clear winner with a near-15% year on year rise to S$2.95 billion as expenses rose less than total income.OCBC came in second place with a decent performance – its total income rose 8% year on year on the back of a 4% year-on-year increase in net interest income.OCBC managed to improve its net profit for 1Q 2024 by 5% year on year to nearly S$2 billion.Winner: DBSLoan book and net interest margin (NIM)Source: Banks’ Earnings ReportsNext, we examine each bank’s loan book and net interest margin (NIM).The three banks all reported a year-on-year rise in their loan books with the average rise being around 2%.For NIM, OCBC has the highest among the trio at 2.27% for 1Q 2024.However, investors should note that OCBC’s NIM had dipped by 0.03 percentage points from 2.3% a year ago.Its 1Q 2024 NIM was also lower than the previous quarter’s 2.29%.DBS, on the other hand, reported a slight year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter increase for its NIM, which came in at 2.14% for 1Q 2024.UOB saw the largest year-on-year NIM decline among the three banks with a 0.12 percentage point drop.OCBC still emerges as the winner as its NIM is the highest while remaining fairly stable year on year.Winner: OCBCCost-to-income ratio (CIR)Source: Banks’ Earnings ReportsThe next metric to look at is each bank’s cost-to-income ratio (CIR).The CIR is the ratio of the bank’s total expenses to its total income and a lower ratio signifies that a bank has its expenses well-controlled.OCBC is once again the winner here with the lowest CIR among the three banks for 1Q 2024.However, credit should be given to DBS for improving its CIR both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.While UOB also saw an improvement in its CIR, it was the only bank with its CIR consistently above 40%.Winner: OCBCNon-performing loans (NPL) ratioSource: Banks’ Earnings ReportsMoving on to the non-performing loans (NPL) ratio, OCBC once again is the winner with the lowest NPL ratio.As a reminder, the NPL ratio measures the credit quality of a bank’s loan book.Hence, a lower NPL ratio will imply that a bank’s loan book has a lower level of problematic borrowers.Winner: OCBCReturn on equity (ROE)Source: Banks’ Earnings ReportsA bank’s return on equity measures the amount of profit generated per dollar of capital, so a higher ROE is a signal that a bank is more profitable with less capital.On this front, DBS is the clear winner with its ROE hitting an all-time high of 19.4% for 1Q 2024.DBS also saw a sharp increase of 3.2 percentage points for its ROE from the previous quarter (4Q 2023).OCBC also saw a 2.3 percentage point ROE improvement while UOB’s improvement came in at just 0.2 percentage points over the same period.Winner: DBSValuationSource: Banks’ Earnings ReportsWhen it comes to valuation, DBS is the most expensive bank of the three with a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 1.64 times.UOB and OCBC are both valued at 1.13 times and 1.16 times P/B, respectively, making them much more affordable compared to Singapore’s largest bank.Winner: UOBGet Smart: A tough choiceA clear decision is not easy in this case as both OCBC and DBS score points on different attributes.While OCBC has the highest NIM and the lowest CIR and NPL ratio, DBS scores points in raising its net profit and knocking the ball out of the park with the highest ROE.Investors need to decide which metrics are more important in their decision-making process.Another factor to consider is that DBS pays out a quarterly dividend while the other two banks only pay dividends every six months.For 1Q 2024, DBS declared an interim dividend of S$0.54 per share, a 42% increase over the prior year’s S$0.38.Attention: Investors aiming for both growth and peace of mind. We’ve pinpointed 5 SGX stocks known for consistent dividends. If you want to build a retirement portfolio, but don’t want the stress of stock watching, this report is for you.

For now, regulators are giving that bank more time to reach a deal to bolster its balance sheet, people with knowledge of the situation said late last week.But after conversations with government officials, some Wall Street executives have surmised that even if their firms don’t inject more equity into First Republic, they could still be left on the hook another way: Paying into a special FDIC assessment if the agency intervenes.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":205,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9955218696,"gmtCreate":1675439400616,"gmtModify":1676539003518,"author":{"id":"3585608436283132","authorId":"3585608436283132","name":"laushifu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/abb2139743572a24e93ee15bb71fab98","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bull trap?","listText":"Bull trap?","text":"Bull trap?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9955218696","repostId":"1191090588","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1191090588","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1675438761,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1191090588?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-02-03 23:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nasdaq, S&P, and Dow Pare Some Losses; Apple Stock Jumps Over 4%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1191090588","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Major market averages opened to the downside but have since pared back some losses.Early on and the ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Major market averages opened to the downside but have since pared back some losses.</p><p>Early on and the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.02% as it gave back some of the previous session&#39;s big gains after Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL) saw post-earnings declines.</p><p>At the same time the S&amp;P 500 dropped 0.04% and the Dow rose by 0.23%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/692a3bd8f36a1df97a907f779acf2ee2\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"501\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Nonfarm payrolls rose by to 517K well above the 185K consensus figure and 260K previous reading.

That said, investors should aware that the company is under investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its share run-up, that was primarily orchestrated by the Reddit commmunity WallStreetBets (WSB).</p>\n<p>Many WSB traders publicly disclosed their identities while promoting the stock in the past six months, leading to them becoming prime targets for possible litigation or criminal investigations. Meanwhile, GameStop is taking advantage of the run-up to issue more stock at the expense of existing shareholders. Is the stock still a safe bet for potential investors?</p>\n<h2>The good news</h2>\n<p>GameStop had a spectacular quarter. In Q1 2021, the company closed down 12.7% of its roughly 4,000 stores in operations. Despite this, it managed to grow its sales by 25% year-over-year to $1.277 billion.</p>\n<p>At the same time, GameStop's operating loss narrowed to $21.6 million from $98.8 million a year ago. Thanks to a once-in-a-lifetime short squeeze, the company was able to offer additional equity to pay back all its debt and start afresh. It currently has more than $700 million in cash and investments on its balance sheet.</p>\n<h2>The bad news</h2>\n<p>After the earnings release, GameStop shares fell by as much as 27% in a single trading session. In addition, the company announced it would issue up to five million additional shares over a period of time, representing a dilution of up to 7% to its 70 million shares outstanding.</p>\n<p>That aside, there's the major risk of lawsuits against those involved in the coordinated \"pump and dump\" activities of the WSB community. Reddit user profiles of these traders are pretty much public. In fact, lawsuits have already been filed against prominent members of the community for allegedly promoting GameStop while the stock was at \"artificially high levels\".</p>\n<p>On June 9, the SEC announced it was probing GameStop concerning recent trading activities. While the investigation is still in its infancy, WSB members are growing increasingly concerned about legal and privacy issues from the fallout. The agency could potentially subpoena popular platforms like Reddit to access personal information/identities of members regarding their roles in the run-up. I believe this rapidly spreading fear, especially among those who are \"holding-on-for-dear-life\" (HODLers), is responsible for the sell-off.</p>\n<h2>What's next?</h2>\n<p>The same community that propped up GameStop's stock in a greed-fueled frenzy is equally capable of sending the shares crashing if fear takes center stage. While the company is generating solid growth, the company has a negative free cash flow of about $33.5 million per quarter, including a net cash outflow of nearly $19 million in operating activites. It's a noticeable improvement from $55.9 million negative FCF last year -- but still isn't good news yet. GameStop sold investors on the dream of a turnaround into an e-commerce giant and now has to live up to its reputation.</p>\n<p>There is a lot of uncertainty as to how profitable the new GameStop could be. Maybe its net margins will improve to 5% to 10%; perhaps it will hover around 0%, perhaps it will keep running at a loss for quite some time. After all, its gross margins actually fell 1.8 percentage points to 25.9% in Q1. Until the company can prove its new business model is working, it's probably better to look at retailers with both revenue growth and solid profitability instead.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Can You Still Count on GameStop Stock?</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nCan You Still Count on GameStop Stock?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-23 10:50 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/22/can-you-still-count-on-gamestop-stock/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>GameStop (NYSE:GME) reported impressive revenue growth in Q1 2021, crushing the narrative that it's a failing brick-and-mortar video game retailer with a bleak outlook.

It Wants Big Lenders to Pay","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1192446704","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Industry faces ‘special assessment’ after SVB, Signature failPoliticians are pressing agency to spar","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><p>Industry faces ‘special assessment’ after SVB, Signature fail</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Politicians are pressing agency to spare small banks that cost</p></li></ul><p>The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., facing almost $23 billion in costs from recent bank failures, is considering steering a larger-than-usual portion of that burden to the nation’s biggest banks, according to people with knowledge of the matter.</p><p>The agency has said it plans to propose a so-called special assessment on the industry in May to shore up a $128 billion deposit insurance fund that’s set to take hits after the recent collapses of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. The regulator — under political pressure to spare small banks — has noted it has latitude in how it sets those fees.</p><p>Behind the scenes, officials are looking to limit the strain on community lenders by shifting an outsize portion of the expense toward much larger institutions, according to people with knowledge of the discussions. That would add to what already may be multibillion-dollar tabs, apiece, for the likes of JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co., Bank of America Corp. and Wells Fargo &amp; Co.</p><p>The KBW Regional Banking Index of 50 lenders reversed losses and rose 0.6% on Wednesday in New York after Bloomberg reported the FDIC’s internal deliberations. Shares of large banks pared gains but recovered by the close of trading amid a broader market rally.</p><p>Talks for setting the size and timing of the assessment are in early stages. Leaning heavily on big banks is seen as the most politically palatable solution, some of the people said, asking not to be named describing private deliberations.</p><p>Representatives for the FDIC, JPMorgan, Bank of America and Wells Fargo declined to comment.</p><p>The question of how to spread the cost of SVB’s and Signature’s failures is already a hot topic in Washington, where lawmakers have pressed FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell over who will shoulder the burden — especially after an unusual decision to backstop all of those banks’ deposits. The extraordinary measure saved legions of tech startups and wealthy customers whose balances far exceeded the FDIC’s typical $250,000 limit on coverage.</p><h3>‘Keenly Sensitive’</h3><p>“I’m concerned that Arkansans will have to subsidize Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Banks deposits, and maybe others that come forward,” Republican Senator John Boozman told Yellen at a hearing last week. “Will the community banks get charged that special assessment?”</p><p>She assured him the FDIC has leeway in deciding which banks will pay.</p><p>“We’re going to be keenly sensitive to the impact,” Gruenberg added at a hearing on Wednesday, when asked about the strain on community banks. “We have the discretion to tailor that assessment to the institutions that most directly benefited.”</p><p>The mess that toppled SVB and Signature Bank was, in at least one way, a boon to the nation’s largest banks. Both of those lenders had soaked up billions in uninsured deposits that proved fickle, forcing the firms to incur losses in hasty asset sales. In the fallout, customers at small banks across the country moved cash to giant banks, showering those lenders with cheap funding.</p><p>Banks pay into the FDIC’s insurance fund every quarter as they soak up deposits qualifying for the agency’s protection. As long as the banks find ways to earn even more by lending out or investing the cash, they earn a profit. </p><p>The FDIC’s fees vary widely. The 2010 Dodd-Frank regulatory overhaul required the agency to consider a bank’s size when setting individual rates. A firm’s complexity and confidential regulatory ratings can play roles too. That means a big bank not only pays more because it houses more deposits, but also because its rate is steeper. </p><p>When the FDIC’s main fund suffers a blow, the agency can impose a special assessment to speed up the process of refilling its coffers — and it can tailor how it sets those rates. </p><p>In addition to looking at which firms may have benefited, officials may consider “economic conditions, the effects on the industry, and such other factors as the FDIC deems appropriate and relevant,” Gruenberg told the Senate in written testimony this week.</p><p>Once the agency is ready to propose a formula in May, it will seek input “from all stakeholders,” he said.</p><h3>Political Pressure</h3><p>On Capitol Hill, lawmakers have been publicly demanding regulators spare small banks from having to shell out for the extraordinary intervention at SVB — rescuing what Senator Patty Murray called its “very wealthy depositors.”</p><p>“You’re creating the need for a special assessment that’s going to be imposed on those well-managed community banks that didn’t take those risks,” the Washington Democrat told Yellen at a hearing. Many small banks, Murray noted, cater to people with much less money.  </p><p>Leaning on big banks can add up fast.</p><p>When the FDIC set out to raise $5.5 billion with a special assessment in 2009, JPMorgan said the surcharge extracted $675 million from its second-quarter earnings.</p><p>The impact from SVB and Signature could easily go far beyond that. The agency estimated Sunday that SVB’s failure will cost $20 billion, on top of the $2.5 billion bite it expects from Signature. Unclear is how quickly the FDIC wants to collect the assessment.</p><p>Recently, some large banks have also faced pressure to shore up the balance sheet of another troubled lender, First Republic Bank.

The regulator — under political pressure to spare small banks — has noted it has latitude in how it sets those fees.Behind the scenes, officials are looking to limit the strain on community lenders by shifting an outsize portion of the expense toward much larger institutions, according to people with knowledge of the discussions. That would add to what already may be multibillion-dollar tabs, apiece, for the likes of JPMorgan Chase & Co., Bank of America Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co.The KBW Regional Banking Index of 50 lenders reversed losses and rose 0.6% on Wednesday in New York after Bloomberg reported the FDIC’s internal deliberations. Shares of large banks pared gains but recovered by the close of trading amid a broader market rally.Talks for setting the size and timing of the assessment are in early stages. Leaning heavily on big banks is seen as the most politically palatable solution, some of the people said, asking not to be named describing private deliberations.Representatives for the FDIC, JPMorgan, Bank of America and Wells Fargo declined to comment.The question of how to spread the cost of SVB’s and Signature’s failures is already a hot topic in Washington, where lawmakers have pressed FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell over who will shoulder the burden — especially after an unusual decision to backstop all of those banks’ deposits. The extraordinary measure saved legions of tech startups and wealthy customers whose balances far exceeded the FDIC’s typical $250,000 limit on coverage.‘Keenly Sensitive’“I’m concerned that Arkansans will have to subsidize Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Banks deposits, and maybe others that come forward,” Republican Senator John Boozman told Yellen at a hearing last week. “Will the community banks get charged that special assessment?”She assured him the FDIC has leeway in deciding which banks will pay.“We’re going to be keenly sensitive to the impact,” Gruenberg added at a hearing on Wednesday, when asked about the strain on community banks. “We have the discretion to tailor that assessment to the institutions that most directly benefited.”The mess that toppled SVB and Signature Bank was, in at least one way, a boon to the nation’s largest banks. Both of those lenders had soaked up billions in uninsured deposits that proved fickle, forcing the firms to incur losses in hasty asset sales. In the fallout, customers at small banks across the country moved cash to giant banks, showering those lenders with cheap funding.Banks pay into the FDIC’s insurance fund every quarter as they soak up deposits qualifying for the agency’s protection. As long as the banks find ways to earn even more by lending out or investing the cash, they earn a profit. The FDIC’s fees vary widely. The 2010 Dodd-Frank regulatory overhaul required the agency to consider a bank’s size when setting individual rates. A firm’s complexity and confidential regulatory ratings can play roles too. That means a big bank not only pays more because it houses more deposits, but also because its rate is steeper. When the FDIC’s main fund suffers a blow, the agency can impose a special assessment to speed up the process of refilling its coffers — and it can tailor how it sets those rates. In addition to looking at which firms may have benefited, officials may consider “economic conditions, the effects on the industry, and such other factors as the FDIC deems appropriate and relevant,” Gruenberg told the Senate in written testimony this week.Once the agency is ready to propose a formula in May, it will seek input “from all stakeholders,” he said.Political PressureOn Capitol Hill, lawmakers have been publicly demanding regulators spare small banks from having to shell out for the extraordinary intervention at SVB — rescuing what Senator Patty Murray called its “very wealthy depositors.”“You’re creating the need for a special assessment that’s going to be imposed on those well-managed community banks that didn’t take those risks,” the Washington Democrat told Yellen at a hearing. Many small banks, Murray noted, cater to people with much less money.  Leaning on big banks can add up fast.When the FDIC set out to raise $5.5 billion with a special assessment in 2009, JPMorgan said the surcharge extracted $675 million from its second-quarter earnings.The impact from SVB and Signature could easily go far beyond that. The agency estimated Sunday that SVB’s failure will cost $20 billion, on top of the $2.5 billion bite it expects from Signature. Unclear is how quickly the FDIC wants to collect the assessment.Recently, some large banks have also faced pressure to shore up the balance sheet of another troubled lender, First Republic Bank. For now, regulators are giving that bank more time to reach a deal to bolster its balance sheet, people with knowledge of the situation said late last week.But after conversations with government officials, some Wall Street executives have surmised that even if their firms don’t inject more equity into First Republic, they could still be left on the hook another way: Paying into a special FDIC assessment if the agency intervenes.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":205,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":306352230084648,"gmtCreate":1715828273044,"gmtModify":1715828277304,"author":{"id":"3585608436283132","authorId":"3585608436283132","name":"laushifu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/abb2139743572a24e93ee15bb71fab98","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy all[Happy]&nbsp;&nbsp;","listText":"Buy all[Happy]&nbsp;&nbsp;","text":"Buy all[Happy]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/306352230084648","repostId":"2435797687","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2435797687","pubTimestamp":1715825348,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2435797687?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2024-05-16 10:09","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"DBS, OCBC or UOB: Which of the Three Singapore Banks Should You Buy?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2435797687","media":"The Smart Investor","summary":"It can be a tough decision to decide between the three big local banks.

we examine each bank’s loan book and net interest margin (NIM).</p><p>The three banks all reported a year-on-year rise in their loan books with the average rise being around 2%.</p><p>For NIM, OCBC has the highest among the trio at 2.27% for 1Q 2024.</p><p>However, investors should note that OCBC’s NIM had dipped by 0.03 percentage points from 2.3% a year ago.</p><p>Its 1Q 2024 NIM was also

bank’s cost-to-income ratio (CIR).</p><p>The CIR is the ratio of the bank’s total expenses to its total income and a lower ratio signifies that a bank has its expenses well-controlled.</p><p>OCBC is once again the winner here with the lowest CIR among the three banks for 1Q 2024.</p><p>However, credit should be given to DBS for improving its CIR both year-on-year and

profitable with less capital.</p><p>On this front, DBS is the clear winner with its ROE hitting an all-time high of 19.4% for 1Q 2024.</p><p>DBS also saw a sharp increase of 3.2 percentage points for its ROE from the previous quarter (4Q 2023).</p><p>OCBC also saw a 2.3 percentage point ROE improvement while UOB’s improvement came in at just 0.2 percentage points over the same

UOB</strong></p><h2 id=\"id_2844377570\">Get Smart: A tough choice</h2><p>A clear decision is not easy in this case as both OCBC and DBS score points on different attributes.</p><p>While OCBC has the highest NIM and the lowest CIR and NPL ratio, DBS scores points in raising its net profit and knocking the ball out of the park with the highest ROE.</p><p>Investors need to decide which metrics are more important in their decision-making process.</p><p>Another factor to consider is that DBS pays out a quarterly dividend while the other two banks only pay dividends every six months.</p><p>For 1Q

earnings season for the first quarter of 2024 (1Q 2024) is almost over.Singapore’s three big banks have handed in their report cards in an environment of “higher-for-longer” interest rates.DBS Group (SGX: D05) was the first to report and announce a stellar set of results with net profit hitting a new record.United Overseas Bank (SGX: U11), or UOB, was next but delivered a subdued performance for 1Q 2024.OCBC Ltd (SGX: O39) was the last of the trio to announce its earnings and it, too, saw its net profit hit a new record.If you are looking for one of the banks to invest in, you are in luck.We place the three side by side to determine which is the best bank you should purchase.FinancialsSource: Banks’ Earnings ReportsFirst off, we look at each bank’s financial performance.There was a wide spread across the trio with DBS leading the pack with a 12.6% year on year increase in total income.DBS saw its net interest income rise 8% year on year while its fee and commission income hit a new high of S$1 billion for the quarter.UOB, on the other hand, saw its total income remain flat year on year as its net interest income fell 2% year on year while fee income rose 5% year on year.For net profit, DBS is the clear winner with a near-15% year on year rise to S$2.95 billion as expenses rose less than total income.OCBC came in second place with a decent performance – its total income rose 8% year on year on the back of a 4% year-on-year increase in net interest income.OCBC managed to improve its net profit for 1Q 2024 by 5% year on year to nearly S$2 billion.Winner: DBSLoan book and net interest margin (NIM)Source: Banks’ Earnings ReportsNext, we examine each bank’s loan book and net interest margin (NIM).The three banks all reported a year-on-year rise in their loan books with the average rise being around 2%.For NIM, OCBC has the highest among the trio at 2.27% for 1Q 2024.However, investors should note that OCBC’s NIM had dipped by 0.03 percentage points from 2.3% a year ago.Its 1Q 2024 NIM was also lower than the previous quarter’s 2.29%.DBS, on the other hand, reported a slight year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter increase for its NIM, which came in at 2.14% for 1Q 2024.UOB saw the largest year-on-year NIM decline among the three banks with a 0.12 percentage point drop.OCBC still emerges as the winner as its NIM is the highest while remaining fairly stable year on year.Winner: OCBCCost-to-income ratio (CIR)Source: Banks’ Earnings ReportsThe next metric to look at is each bank’s cost-to-income ratio (CIR).The CIR is the ratio of the bank’s total expenses to its total income and a lower ratio signifies that a bank has its expenses well-controlled.OCBC is once again the winner here with the lowest CIR among the three banks for 1Q 2024.However, credit should be given to DBS for improving its CIR both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.While UOB also saw an improvement in its CIR, it was the only bank with its CIR consistently above 40%.Winner: OCBCNon-performing loans (NPL) ratioSource: Banks’ Earnings ReportsMoving on to the non-performing loans (NPL) ratio, OCBC once again is the winner with the lowest NPL ratio.As a reminder, the NPL ratio measures the credit quality of a bank’s loan book.Hence, a lower NPL ratio will imply that a bank’s loan book has a lower level of problematic borrowers.Winner: OCBCReturn on equity (ROE)Source: Banks’ Earnings ReportsA bank’s return on equity measures the amount of profit generated per dollar of capital, so a higher ROE is a signal that a bank is more profitable with less capital.On this front, DBS is the clear winner with its ROE hitting an all-time high of 19.4% for 1Q 2024.DBS also saw a sharp increase of 3.2 percentage points for its ROE from the previous quarter (4Q 2023).OCBC also saw a 2.3 percentage point ROE improvement while UOB’s improvement came in at just 0.2 percentage points over the same period.Winner: DBSValuationSource: Banks’ Earnings ReportsWhen it comes to valuation, DBS is the most expensive bank of the three with a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 1.64 times.UOB and OCBC are both valued at 1.13 times and 1.16 times P/B, respectively, making them much more affordable compared to Singapore’s largest bank.Winner: UOBGet Smart: A tough choiceA clear decision is not easy in this case as both OCBC and DBS score points on different attributes.While OCBC has the highest NIM and the lowest CIR and NPL ratio, DBS scores points in raising its net profit and knocking the ball out of the park with the highest ROE.Investors need to decide which metrics are more important in their decision-making process.Another factor to consider is that DBS pays out a quarterly dividend while the other two banks only pay dividends every six months.For 1Q 2024, DBS declared an interim dividend of S$0.54 per share, a 42% increase over the prior year’s S$0.38.Attention: Investors aiming for both growth and peace of mind. We’ve pinpointed 5 SGX stocks known for consistent dividends. If you want to build a retirement portfolio, but don’t want the stress of stock watching, this report is for you.
