Hi focus6900, Very likely with the good dividend news. Climb up to 14 cents is not difficult actually. But forget today is Friday plus long week end. Just hope for the best.

DBS Second-Quarter Profit Beats Estimates as Fee Income Gains By Shiyin Chen and Kelvin Wong Aug. 7 (Bloomberg) -- DBS Group Holdings Ltd., Southeast Asia’s biggest bank, reported a smaller-than-estimated 15 percent decline in second-quarter profit as income from stock broking, investment banking and wealth management rose. Net income fell to S$552 million ($384 million) from S$652 million a year earlier, the bank said in a statement to the Singapore stock exchange today. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of analysts was for profit of S$425 million. DBS and smaller rival Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. were upgraded on July 23 to “buy” from “neutral” at Bank of America’s Merrill Lynch on optimism earnings will improve as Singapore’s economy recovers. The bank, which gets about a quarter of its earnings from Hong Kong, is also expanding in mainland China and Taiwan. “DBS’s earnings are most sensitive to an economic recovery,” Merrill Lynch analysts Kar Weng Loo and Alistair Scarff wrote in their report, citing its low loan-deposit ratio and strong capital position.

DBS DELIVERS STRONGER QUARTER-ON-QUARTER PERFORMANCE WITH SECOND-QUARTER NET PROFIT OF SGD 552 MILLION * * * Performance underpinned by record quarterly revenue and cost discipline SINGAPORE, 7 August 2009 – DBS Group Holdings recorded net earnings of SGD 552 million for second quarter 2009, an increase of 21% from the previous quarter. Sustained revenue growth and cost discipline boosted earnings before allowances to a record SGD 1.16 billion. Revenues rose 8% from the previous quarter to a new high of SGD 1.79 billion as better net interest margins, capital market activities, trading and investment income resulted in broad-based revenue growth. Expenses were held at SGD 631 million, improving the cost-income ratio further to 35%, the best level in several years. Allowances of SGD 466 million were 13% higher than the previous quarter. Net interest income grew 3% from the previous quarter to SGD 1.11 billion. Improved credit spreads and reduced funding costs were partially offset by lower returns on interbank assets, lifting net interest margins by two basis points to 2.01% in a soft interest rate environment. | ||

DBS is only one of our 3 local banks. There are several other foreign banks here but obviously they don't have the large customer pool that DBS has. So your money in the shares are 99 percent safe. The 1 pc chance you will lose your investment is by the act of God. Don't worry too much. Wait patiently and you shall make money from the investment. | ||

LOL! Fully agreed! Brokerage houses are the 'INSIDERS' and retailers are 'OUTSIDERS'............. The stock market is an 'insiders game' versus 'outsiders game'. Its the Insiders who are in the know and its the Insiders who are making money.......

Always do two things when you read an analyst's report highlighted in the media or some forums or prominent places. Num 1: Do nothing Num 2: Do the opposite. You will never be wrong as your experience has shown you! Cheers. |

CIMB-GK Securities Pte Ltd - 29/07 19:39 Time to lock in performance We had been bullish on Singapore banks since April. Valuations can still overshoot in a liquidity rally but after a relentless rally, we believe it is time to consider locking in gains. We believe that banks stand out as one of the sectors for profit-taking. They have been consistent outperformers over the past four months. A relatively benign credit cycle and marked-to-market gains could still provide catalysts in the upcoming results season, Unfortunately, stock prices have headed above mid-cycle valuations and reflect those positives, in our opinion. At the same time, a benign credit environment dampens the pricing-power argument for the sector. We have been hearing that lending spreads for some REITs have narrowed by 50-100bp in recent weeks, though they remain wider than pre-Lehman days. Among the three banks, we pick DBS for profit-taking. Reason #1: DBS has been the clearest outperformer, on a 1-week, MTD and YTD basis. The stock is up 11.2% in the past five trading days, against the FSSTI’s +6.4% YTD, DBS has raced past OCBC to become the strongest performer in the sector. Its YTD performance is now +60.3% vs. the index’s +48.2%. DBS trades at 1.3x CY09 P/BV. Its strong performance had been due to a rebound from a relatively lower P/BV than peers, in our view. We believe that DBS will struggle to outperform its peers from here. In the next two quarters, as credit costs turn out more muted than expected, we believe investors will start to focus on core earnings drivers and sustainable ROEs. We find it difficult to push up our ROE forecasts of DBS much higher, partly due to a larger book-value base after its S$4bn rights issue last year. Reason #2: lower credit costs in next few quarters might not be that comforting. Second, although earnings could surprise positively (due to muted credit costs and trading gains) for all three banks, one cannot help but retain some niggling concerns on DBS’s loan book. By now, it should be clear that Singapore loan books for all three banks are getting indistinguishable as the recovery sets in. Defaults are unlikely to be a big concern too. The differentiated portion of each bank’s credit-risk exposure hence lies in ex-Singapore loan books. We worry that DBS’s Hong Kong book could deteriorate in the future. We take more comfort in OCBC and UOB’s ASEAN exposure, where economies tend to be more driven by domestic consumption. DBS’s Hong Kong operation is largely exposed to SMEs operating in the Pearl River Delta. The dominant sector is manufacturing, and the health of manufacturing companies is still tied to a real export recovery, which remains elusive. With the developed world still grappling with de-leveraging, rising unemployment, potentially higher taxes and lower disposable income, we cannot see a real recovery for exports in the near future. Reason #3: DBS’s margins can improve but will not catch up with peers’. Third, a global environment flush with liquidity equates to low interest rates and low SIBOR. Our regional strategist recently highlighted the amount of excess liquidity in the system. DBS generally suffers in a low-interest-rate environment. Low SIBOR essentially means its margins will be comparatively lower as excess deposit spreads will be low. The bulls on DBS believe that DBS’s loan market-share gains will ensure an NIM convergence with peers. We agree only to a certain extent. Corporate loan repricing is ongoing and the margin gap should narrow. However, we believe DBS’s disparity with peers will not totally even out. Reason #4: DBS has the least prospects for book-value upside. UOB and OCBC have lost more from AFS marked-to-market valuations and should be the clearer beneficiaries as asset prices rise. Rising asset prices in 2Q have spilled over to 3Q. If this continues, the banks might even recoup all their marked-to-market losses by the end of this year. This leaves the possibility that P/BV valuations for OCBC and UOB could trend lower after results next week, which is unlikely to be a positive for DBS. Valuation and recommendation Target price unchanged at S$13.20; downgrade DBS from Outperform to Neutral. Our target price remains S$13.20, based on 1.25x P/BV. We will revisit our target prices and earnings next week, after results. DBS is cheaper than peers on an absolute P/BV basis. However, this should be easily explained by its lagging ROEs to peers. Our recovery-stage ROEs (FY11: 10.9%) at this moment can hardly cross 11%. This makes P/BV valuations above current levels hard to justify. At this stage, we would rather place our bets on OCBC or UOB. Downgrade DBS from Outperform to Neutral. |
