SWEE! That' s what we said! Note... this does not apply to just the banks but across the entire market!
DBS, OCBC, UOB could benefit as the Middle East&rsquo s ultra-rich relook where to park their billions
The three local lenders have all spent years expanding their private banking capabilities to capture a growth in global wealth flows https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/opinion-features/dbs-ocbc-uob-could-benefit-middle-easts-ultra-rich-relook-where-park-their-billionsaragosta ( Date: 18-Mar-2026 09:09) Posted:
DBS: Why Buying Interest Persists Despite High Prices
The reason behind sustained buying interest in the face of record-high prices is quite straightforward. Contrary to what some might assume, this momentum isn' t driven by retail investors, who are largely sidelined. Instead, the market is being propelled by institutional funds and big money investors.
The Shift Toward Stability
Recent geopolitical shifts have fundamentally altered global wealth flows. Historically, the Middle East was viewed as a primary sanctuary for capital however, escalating regional conflicts have eroded its reputation as a " safe haven." Wealth advisors report that high-net-worth individuals ~ particularly Asian entrepreneurs previously based in Dubai~ are increasingly migrating their assets to Singapore and Hong Kong to escape Gulf-related uncertainties.
The " Wealth Exit" from Europe
It isn' t just Middle Eastern capital on the move. Europe is seeing a " wealth exit" triggered by aggressive tax reforms, particularly in the UK, where changes to non-domiciled status and capital gains taxes have pushed the affluent to look elsewhere. While some remain within Europe (moving to Italy or Switzerland), Singapore remains a premier global choice due to its territorial tax system and the absence of estate duties.
Singapore' s Growing Dominance
The numbers reflect this massive capital migration. In 2025 alone, Singapore' s Big Three banks (DBS, OCBC, and UOB) captured an estimated S$77 billion in new inflows from wealthy individuals globally. In an era of global volatility, Singapore' s predictability and security have become its greatest assets, ensuring that even at high price points, the big money continues to buy in.
Now, you know, why they say..... WAR IS GOOD...... for some......

CGSI downgrades DBS to &lsquo hold&rsquo on &lsquo muted&rsquo Q4 performance forecast S$60.50 target price unchanged
FY2026 could post a larger-than-expected drop in earnings due to downside risks, says CGSI
[SINGAPORE] CGS International (CGSI) has downgraded its call on DBS to &ldquo hold&rdquo from &ldquo add&rdquo , citing forecasts of a &ldquo muted&rdquo performance for the fourth quarter of 2025 and limited upside potential.
Its target price for the bank remained unchanged at S$60.50 &ndash 2.3 per cent above its latest closing price of S$59.12 on Friday (Jan 16).
With valuations at an all-time high, a potential &ldquo lack of earnings growth&rdquo for FY2025 to FY2027 could limit upside potential, said CGSI analyst Tay Wee Kuang in a report on Friday. He noted that DBS&rsquo share price is up 35 per cent since the start of FY2025.
&ldquo On top of a seasonally weaker quarter that would affect flow-related income such as wealth management fees, markets&rsquo trading income and treasury customer sales, we expect DBS&rsquo net interest margin (NIM) to decline (by around) five basis points quarter on quarter in Q4 2025,&rdquo said Tay.
This follows a 28 basis point decline in the Singapore Overnight Rate Average (Sora) to an average of 1.16 per cent in Q4 2025 from 1.44 per cent in Q3 2025, said Tay.
Several downside risks could lead to a larger-than-expected decline in earnings for FY2026, he noted.
These include a potentially lower-than-expected net interest income for FY2026, due to a decline in NIM amid Sora weakness, weaker macroeconomic conditions resulting in higher provisioning, and a slowdown in non-interest income growth.
Wealth management fee growth, potential recovery of exposure to Autobahn
Despite muted forecasts, DBS still offers an &ldquo attractive&rdquo yield of around 5.6 per cent for FY2026, with a forecast dividend per share of S$3.30 for the same period, said Tay.
Capital return initiatives could enhance yield attractiveness, he said, noting that an outstanding S$2.6 billion in capital has been allocated for DBS&rsquo S$3 billion three-year share buyback programme.
The Autobahn group, which includes car-sharing service Shariot, has debts of more than S$300 million.
Autobahn group fallout tightens private-hire car financing, but COE premiums unlikely to fall
The bank&rsquo s wealth management segment could record further growth in its assets under management (AUM) for Q4 2025, following the segment&rsquo s 18 per cent year-on-year AUM growth for the first nine months of 2025.
This could support its guidance for wealth management fees to grow by a mid-teens percentage in FY2026, said Tay.
Potential increases in credit costs for Q4 2025 as a result of its loan exposure to the indebted car leasing company Autobahn could be buffered by a write-back of DBS&rsquo management overlay which stood at around S$2.5 billion for the first nine months of 2025, said Tay. DBS&rsquo loan exposure to Autobahn is around S$102.6 million.
&ldquo The withdrawal of Autobahn&rsquo s appeal for creditor protection means that creditors&rsquo claims or writs of seizure and sale of Autobahn&rsquo s fleet of vehicles may proceed, potentially allowing DBS to recoup part of its exposure to Autobahn,&rdquo he said.
Thats why I also place value on the track records of those who share updates. IMO, you have consistently shown that the information you provide is trustworthy. Even if things do not eventually happen, circumstances can change, and everyone needs to do their own due diligence. That said, there will always be people who choose to antagonize others&mdash sour grapes, really. In any case, appreciate all the sharing.

My posts are " fact driven" , I like this observation........ but the problem is some maybe " coffee shop" sourced, and if these views come before the fact, I have to careful how I tell them, otherwise I may step on " some people" toes.... so what I normally do is to throw them in the sea of " fact driven" news media.... some times I tease people that some interesting news are coming, like I did say here there will be on on DBS and Keppel..... but they are largely ignored, no body seems interested.... all I can say now is that piece of development , if happened, is worth another $2 to $3 to the price... which means at the rate DBS is moving, sixty will be done in the coming days..... don' t have to wait till the next results to smell it...... Enjoy when it happens....., for me, I leave it as that, and look forward to all kinds of catalytic scenarios that could bring DBS to the next level...... no post from me, doesn' t mean I sold all.... the bulk will always be with me, I think I' m the most loyal and bullish DBS investor here....so I say what I advocate, No $100 No sell.... if this doesn' t come, I' ll leave them for my grand kids to enjoy.....

DBS 2026 $60 CHARGE!
WOULD DBS reach S$60.00 per share next year, as the black market gangsters unbelievably so confident been shouting all over the wet markets and coffee shops?......... seems like they have several allies in the same thinking..........several analytic robotics and other algorithmic and AI-driven platforms provide specific positive price forecasts for DBS Group Holdings for the next one year to five years.......
- According to WalletInvestor' s live forecast data, DBS Group Holdings is identified as a strong long-term investment with high profit potential. The platform predicts a steady upward trend, with a projected share price of S$60.16 by 2026 and S$78.71by 2030.
- According to Traders Union' s technical analysis model, a long-term increase for DBS is projected. The platform forecasts the stock price to reach approximately S$65.66 by the end of 2026 and provides a long-term outlook that includes projections for 2030.
- Utilizing Meyka AI' s predictive modeling and alternative data analysis, DBS Group Holdings is forecasted to experience substantial long-term appreciation. Based on their current one-year outlook for late 2026, the stock is projected to reach approximately S$62.50, with an accelerated trajectory targeting S$102.72 by 2030 and potentially S$137.16 by 2032.
- Based on Gov Capital' s deep learning algorithms, which analyze historical price trends and market volatility, DBS is currently identified as a strong candidate for portfolio growth. The platform' s one-year forecast anticipates the share price reaching S$64.12 by late 2026, with a more aggressive 5-year algorithmic target exceeding S$89.50.
- While traditionally an institutional firm, JP Morgan' s current AI-Driven quantitative ' Bull Case' model for DBS - driven by asset restructuring data - forecasts a potential climb to S$70.00 by December 2026. This projection assumes the bank successfully navigates a lower interest rate environment while maintaining its high 17% Return on Equity (ROE).
