Interest rate cut is a 2 edged sword .... how our banks perform will depend on how well it is managed .....DBS doing it very well 
MORE so , today 15.7% exports jump for July is more important to banks ......economy growth power are its banks fundamental fuel .
DBS OCBC and UOB all climbed over 1.2% as of now ......can you imagine if growth is kept for the next few mths ? 
Sunday speech may offer more insight into Spore gorwth plan. Good honest government equal to a good and prosperous Singapore. 
DYODD .......Happy investing.

DBS again show it is the big bro in banking ....while the other 2 dropped xd ,  DBS is managing well .
Certainly Q3 more or less in pocket  ( any rate cut will come after Q3 for DBS by the time it has to implement LOL ) ......wil it b hard to see how $12B profit 2024 
can b a possibility.  ( 1H 2024 is $5.74B )  DYODD
happy investing .

Agree on this.  A special dividend or bonus will certainly be the most rewarding for true-blue DBS investors.  Also something timely and worth remembering for the outgoing CEO and new incumbent.
Happy investing :)

I actually do not wish to debate on the change in Interest rate as IF it is affecting bank income. 
Today NII is really not many of the banks main income or at least other sector are growing more .....like wealth mgt ( as pointed out ) 
DBS AUM is $365B ......DBS Private baks onboarded more than a third of the 1000 single family Offices set up in Singapore ......as of 26th Mar 2024
Under new CEO ( she was from this field ) what wld be this AUM ?    your guess is as good as mine. 
But we can be assure of its contribution to DBS bottom line. 
2024 will subpast the $10b mark ....question is will it hit $12B as a farewell gift from Current CEO .( a good success FT hurt ....many do not like this for their 
own personal interest ....BUT proven again and again , this little red dot need them .....OCBC is another example ) 
So I can only say that 2024 , DBS will be the best performing local bank here . Be prepare for special dividend or bonus .
Happy investing.

Good report frm MQ..  tp of $41 
DBS &ndash strong quarter, steady dividends&hellip new CEO
 
DBS shares have moved 4.4% higher since 6 August &ndash the eve of its earnings results to its close at $34.12 yesterday. The stock appears to be riding on positive momentum since its better-than-expected results on 7 August and news of a new CEO.
What impact do these recent announcements, along with expectations of a September rate cut, have on DBS&rsquo share price?
Here from Macquarie Research (MQ), who published a report on 7 August 2024 addressing these three points. 
Key points
&bull   DBS' 2Q24 earnings were ahead of consensus by around 5%. Guidance for the credit charge was upgraded, with a lower net interest margin sensitivity to rates provided.
&bull CEO Piyush Gupta will be succeeded by Su Shan Tan in Mar-25. Tan is DBS' Group Executive, Institutional, and previously led Wealth and Consumer.
&bull MQ has raised DBS&rsquo 2024 earnings per share to 4.6% and is reiterating their Outperform rating and S$41 target price on DBS. DBS is their top pick in the sector.
Solid core results. Highlights were sustaining the high level of wealth fees, a consistent 2.14% net interest margins, and better-than expected asset quality. MQ now expects DBS to grow total FY24 profit after tax and minority interests (PATMI) by around 10%. Under a 1% US Fed rate scenario from this quarter to mid-2025, factoring in hedges and a normalisation in the credit charge to 20 basis points, MQ expects PATMI to be stable (around 2% lower).
New CEO announced. Su Shan Tan was appointed deputy CEO and will take over as group CEO in Mar-2025. DBS' outgoing CEO, Piyush Gupta, is very well regarded and led the turnaround of the bank over the past 15 years. MQ notes that Tan Su Shan has been at DBS for 14 years and has broad experience and strong institutional knowledge of the business. Tan Su Shan outlined her vision based on " 4-Cs" : Culture, Customers, Collaboration and Continuity. MQ believes investors will focus most on the continuity aspect in the short term.
Earnings changes:  MQ is raising their 2024 and 2025 earnings per share to 4.6% and 1.8% respectively to reflect higher wealth fees and a lower credit charge (2024).
Valuation:  MQ has an Outperform rating and 12-month target price of S$41.00, based on a Price-to-Book methodology.
Catalysts:  CEO change in Mar-25 and further updates on strategy thereafter.
Investment thesis and recommendation
DBS is the most profitable and, MQ believes, the highest quality Singapore bank. Although MQ expects the rate cycle to turn in 2024 (4Q2024 Fed rate cut of 0.25%), higher asset quality and a recovery in fee income are positives. DBS is in the top 5% in MQ&rsquo s quant model.

Another chance to get DBS at sub-34 (if inclusive of the 54c dividend).
Looks like UOB gunning for $30

DBS next milestone may probably let us see the $50 mark earlier than most of us can imagine.

Very interesting, the guy has DBS intrinsic value, as, quoted:
" As of 2024-08-12, the Fair Value of DBS Group Holdings Ltd (D05.SI) is 53.64 SGD"
And SWS has it as $74.21

Surely, they not going to lose their credibility by anyhow quote !?!?

It is as you say. A similar approach is how Buffett looks at listed shares of good companies and why buying such listed shares is better than buying shares in private companies. His perspective is that the additional benefit in buying listed shares is that, in addition to owning a share in a company, you are also effectively given an option instrument. If the share price stays below the value you think the company is worth then you just hold the share and get your proportionate reward in holding the company (dividends). However if the share price moves above such value then you can sell the share at a supernormal profit and do something with the proceeds (like waiting for a time when the share price is lower and you can buy back in). Hence volatility in share price is your friend because it provides an optionality to make more money.

Highest quality, most profitable, undemanding share price

Actually I believe most of us buying Bank Stocks are for Long and dividends, so everyday up up down down is like watch a Taiwanese soap opera.. just to spice up our life a little bit to feel shiok or upset..
MQ has an Outperform rating and S$41.00/share price target, based on a price to book methodology
MQ thinks the shares are attractive following the recent ~14% correction. MQ views the 1.4x 2024 price over book multiple as undemanding against an 18.8% return on equity. DBS is the highest quality and most profitable of the Singapore banks.
