DBS, UOB, or OCBC: Which Bank to Buy?

We recently attended the annual general meetings of all three Singapore banks to gain insights into their strategies and outlook in a decreasing interest rate environment. How do they plan to grow their income if interest rates are cut? Will they return extra capital to shareholders after Basel IV? Are their dividend yields still attractive for investors right now? We discuss all this and more in our latest episode!

    No mention of use of capital by OCBC to acquire the remaining shares of Great Eastern. Is that beneficial for OCBC share holders? Will that drive up RoE for the bank?

    Both the founders of OCBC and UOB knew and experienced the storms the bigger fishes that can literally sink your ship or swallow you whole. These are very powerful entities, people, powerbrokers and governments who they know they cannot go head to head with. Just like some little red dot.

    Personally I prefer UOB and DBS. I was lucky enough to get some DBS shares during the COVID meltdown. UOB shares I've held for decades now and they are reliable and solid. Never had any regrets buying bank shares.

    I'm disappointed. I love investing in OCBC, but they employed one of the oldest PR tricks - collect all answers, and only answer what they want to. Unfortunately, despite them being very successful, they will not answer your questions directly. This may happen with all and any listed companies.

    How do you get the full year dividend of DBS? Shouldn't it be ($0.42 + $0.48 + $0.48 + $0.54) divide by $35.86 = 5.35%? Kindly correct me if im wrong

  • @TheFifthPersonChannel

    @TheFifthPersonChannel

    We used the FY2023 dividend per share adjusted for bonus shares, instead of trailing dividends. So it is $0.49 + $0.44 + $0.44 + $0.38 = $1.75, divided by the share price of $35.86 (at time of recording), which gives us a yield of 4.88%.

    Saw Adam and Victor at the different AGMs. Most disappointed after attending OCBC agm - the Q&A format, the CEO barely answering business related questions raised by shareholders, the chairman repeatedly talk about history than business plans. When the CEO wanted to add more details to shareholder's question, it was shocking to hear the chairman saying to the audience "see who's answer you prefer". IMHO, I do not sense a synergy between the CEO and the chairman, time will tell.

    The yield shown is based on FY2023 dividend per share adjusted for bonus shares. So it is $0.49 + $0.44 + $0.44 + $0.38 = $1.75, divided by the share price of $35.86 (at time of recording), which gives us a yield of 4.88%. If you use forward dividends of $2.16 then, yes, your yield will be higher. Hope this explains! www.dbs.com/investors/financials/dividend-information

    DBS is giving out minimum $0.54 dividend per quarter post bonus issue. Total is $2.16 for this year. The dividend yield should be around 6%, not 4.9% as stated in the video. Thank you!

    @@TheFifthPersonChannel if we look at DBS dividend history except of mandatory MAS reduction, they have strong track record of maintaining or increase dividend. 4 times annually. And the recent dividend of 54 cents not reduced after bonus shares. Therefore the rightful yield is at least 6% imo.

    Yes, of course! But we're comparing the yields with UOB and OCBC in the table as well; their dividend information ends at FY2023 as of now. So we need to make an apples-to-apples comparison for all three banks. 😊

    Agreed the consistent perspective is important. I find the discussion interesting so let me add. If you have 10k today to invest, you look at latest report of banks and their current price to determine future potential dividend which is more relevent to all banks and consistent. Ocbc has no dividend in latest report but the price will factor in their result. If we use old dbs dividend it not only paints old data as we know dbs now do much better in latest report than other 2 banks. On another point, give the entire bank industry a lower return relative to say reits
