DBS Sell: Target $38.60This is not exactly a short idea for 2 reasons: 1. It is not that easy to short a Singapore stock, and 2. Singapore stocks don't really follow Elliott Waves principles because the stock market don't herd. So this is really saying: 1. Now is not the time to buy. Wait for better prices. 2. Lighten up if you are not an investor but more of a speculator/trader. Take note of the stop loss price. A break to new high means an extension of 5th wave although this is highly unlikely given that wave 3 (of 5) has already extended.

s This the Best Bank Stock to OwnDBS capital return dividend of 15 cents per quarter: The dividend yield of 6.5%-6.8% for DBS means that investors can expect an annual return of 6.5%-6.8% on their investment purely from dividends, based on the current stock price. The capital return dividend of 15 cents per quarter refers to an additional dividend payout that DBS has introduced, beyond its regular dividends. This means: DBS will distribute SGD 0.15 per share every quarter on top of its usual dividends. Over the full year, this adds up to SGD 0.60 per share in extra returns. This additional payout is part of a strategy to return excess capital to shareholders, likely due to DBS’s strong balance sheet and profitability. Impact on Investors: Higher Total Dividends: The combined regular dividend + capital return dividend means higher total payouts for investors. Attractive Income Stock: A 6.5%-6.8% dividend yield makes DBS one of the highest-yielding blue-chip stocks in Singapore. Consistent Payouts: Since DBS has committed to this extra dividend for at least FY2025-2027, investors can expect stable and predictable returns. In Simple Terms: DBS is giving shareholders extra money on top of its regular dividends, making it a high-yield income stock. If you hold DBS shares, you’ll receive more frequent and higher payouts every quarter. 🚀 Thank you

DBS Bank Short: Technically SpeakingBased on technical analysis, I have a few reasons to believe that DBS has reached a peak, or is peaking. Briefly, here's a list of what's shown on the chart: 1. Elliott Wave counts shows that the vertical move from 5th Aug 2024 to 20th Sep 2024 can be deemed as a 5th wave of a 5th wave. 2. RSI(7) on the daily timeframe is in overbought and at a level that will usually turn down. (Take note that if you study previous price where the RSI(7) reached this level, it usually shows a 3rd wave then a 4th before another high was reached). 3. 2 Fibonacci extension levels converges around $39: 3.1. The first is where I extend cycle wave 1 (green fibo extension) and shows that entire cycle wave could potentially be 1.618x of cycle wave 1. Actual target: $38.88 3.2. The second is where I extend primary wave 1 of cycle wave 5 (purple fibo) and shows that wave 5 could be 1.618x of wave 1. Actual target $38.95 The idea can easily and quickly be invalidated if DBS easily make another new high of say $39.50 (which is why the stop loss is placed around that price). But no matter what, it is important to stay cautious and look for signs that price action is no longer sustainable. Good luck!

Common Sense to InvestingRead this article here In the world of investing, I think common sense is also not commonly practised. When we see charts with red candles or trend sloping downwards, we become fearful and paralysed to take action. In our mind, we kept thinking how low will it go ? Should I wait some more ? Yes, like the guy who jumped off the 3 storey building, buying when the price is depressed equally takes courage. But not this kind of risky courage of jumping from a 3 storey building where you could potentially harm yourself and/or others below. If you have done your research, then you know that Mr Market is irrational and temporary price fluctuations is inevitable. This temporary drop in price action is welcome news to investors like us. Buying now would be quite late imo as the 52 week is at around 36 dollars which it had surpassed that level sometimes back in Feb last year. So, I expect the price to hoover around this range for a while.... You see, I have been using Tradingview platform for more than 8 years and made hell lots of mistakes, lost money along the way, shed tears, banged tables, pull hairs and all. In the past, I will be mindful if anyone likes my post. As I matured in my investing journey, such "likes" become insignificant as I continue to share my 2cents worth of knowledge with like minded people. It is meant to be taken as a reference point, an entertainment of sort if you will but one must always rely on themselves for their financial decision. Never allow others to cloud your mind and do things you are not sure of. Your money is hard earned so treat it well and it will reciprocate in kind.

DBS to Gain as Funds Rain in SingaporeDBS is positioned uniquely at the intersection of both India and China to gain from growth in both countries. Facilitating capital flows out of China, continued rising footprint in India, digital asset presence, a trusted bank in Singapore which is emerging as the Swiss of Asia, DBS has more than one source of tailwind powering its upward flight. Specifically, this paper identifies five key drivers powering DBS shares. Against the backdrop of sharp recession ahead, this paper posits a case study delivering 2.8x reward to risk ratio through a spread comprising of long DBS shares and short MSCI Singapore Index futures to gain from expected outperformance. The DBS Story Launched >50 years ago, DBS is the largest bank in South-East Asia and rubbing shoulders among global banks with S$743B in assets as of December 2022. Its diverse services cover consumer banking, asset management, brokerage, and digital assets. DBS' robust capital position, strong governance, and solid operational practices, with MAS as the regulator, makes it a bank with the highest credit ratings in APAC. “Live More, Bank Less” defines the essence of the bank's strategy. DBS aspiration goes beyond being the best bank but aspires to deliver experience that's world class and on par with GANDALF firms. GANDALF stands for Google, Amazon, Netflix, Apple, LinkedIn, and Facebook. And D? DBS, of course. A key figure in the transformation has been its CEO Piyush Gupta who has helmed its leadership since 2009 and is seen as instrumental in the bank's meteoric rise as a global banking player. Last year, DBS delivered stunning record profits of S$8.2B driven by surging rates. 2022 was not entirely hunky dory as fees and commissions declined 12% YoY. DBS expects 2023 to be better with a forecast of double-digit fee income growth plus rising income from cards business. While loan growth slowed with rising rates, DBS continued to gain market share across both corporate and consumer loans. Key growth driver for DBS in 2023 and for the rest of the decade is the wealth migration from China. Singapore is a key destination for capital taking flight out of China. DBS is strongly positioned to take advantage of this as a trusted and customer-focused banking partner. Five factors to propel DBS shares ahead: 1. Chinese Wealth Migration Ultra rich Chinese have been emigrating with Singapore as the preferred destination. China’s crackdown on its business and entrepreneur class with a focus on “common prosperity”. China faced capital flight of about $150B annually from its citizens migrating. Capital flight in 2023 is expected to be far higher, with some estimates suggesting it could top $100-$200B. About 10,800 rich Chinese migrated in 2022, the highest since 2019, according to Henley & Partners. China has the world’s second-largest number of ultra-rich with more than 32,000 people holding wealth more than $50M. DBS holds a key position to capitalize on this trend as the leading and trusted bank in Singapore. It is not just the Chinese but also the wealthy from India, Indonesia and Thailand finding Singapore as a convenient home for them and their wealth. 2. Regional Expansion via Digital First Strategy DBS’s digitization dovetails nicely into their regional expansion as digitised infrastructure easily transcends geography. Case in point is DBS' expansion into India. It had its presence in India since 1994. However, it was with the launch of Digibank India in 2016 that propelled its footprint in the country. Digibank India was the first mobile-only, paperless, signatureless, and branchless bank in India. This allowed them to expand rapidly in the country while India was going through its own financial digitization following demonetization exercise in 2016. This provided DBS with a strong launchpad while keeping operational costs at bay. DBS India has seen its deposits grow consistently since launch with a huge jump following the acquisition of Laxmi Vilas Bank (LVB). Over the past 3 years, DBS India has doubled its revenue. DBS has been profitable since launch, except for a tiny loss in 2017-18. LVB acquisition enabled DBS to expand its branch presence nearly 18x from mere 30 to >500. 3. Bold Forays into Digital Assets In 2020, DBS launched DBS Digital Exchange (DDEx) enabling institutional and accredited investors to access digital assets. With rising regulations for crypto firms, a fully regulated digital exchange like DDEx from a trusted bank such as DBS is a safe haven for digital asset investors. Success of DDEx is evident in its performance in 2022 when BTC trading on the exchange increased 80% YoY. BTC’s custodied on the exchange also doubled while ETH custodied on the exchange increased 60%. DDEx also doubled its customer base to nearly 1,200 last year. 4. Deep Digitisation CEO inspired DBS' purpose driven digital adoption agenda in 2014, with a five-year roadmap and a lofty aim of being named the best bank in the world. DBS approached the challenge by thinking and operating like a major tech firm instead of a bank. It overhauled its internal tech, 90% of which was developed and managed in-house making it cloud-native enabling rapid scaling and easy deployment. DBS pioneered “Digibank,” a mobile only bank that allowed it to scale rapidly and with low cost per retail customer. Digital customers have two times higher income per client compared to traditional clients with cost to income ratio of 34% relative to 54% for traditional clients. 5. Startup Mentality Making Banking Joyful. DBS is deliberate in becoming ever more customer-centric by cleverly tailoring each customer journey to be hassle-free and enjoyable. The bank aims to become “invisible” to its customer while meeting their banking, financial, and investing needs. In instilling a start-up culture, the leadership team continues to cultivate agility, continuous learning, customer obsession, data-driven experimentation and risk-taking across the organisation. DBS Outperforms other Singapore Banks Among top three Singapore Banks: • DBS has the highest ROE at 14.95%. • DBS operating margins of 41.5% are far higher than others. • DBS margins are twice those of OCBC. • DBS grew its Free Cash Flow at 76.5% YoY, far higher than others. • DBS has the lowest P/E ratio making the stock relatively undervalued. • DBS ROIC of 8.2% is marginally lower than OCBC’s 8.75% • DBS asset growth of 8.3% YoY in 2022, lower than UOB’s 9.8%. This puts DBS in a far better financial position than the other Singapore banks. The better performance is also highlighted by DBS stock’s price action. Since Piyush Gupta took over as CEO in 2009, DBS has outperformed OCBC and UOB by an outsized margin and the stock stands nearly 300% higher in the period. Similarly, since the start of 2020, DBS is up 29% and has outperformed the other two banks vindicating its strategy and execution. Comparative Analysis with Other Global Banks DBS shines bright among the global banking majors too as evident below. • DBS has the highest Return on Equity at 15% • DBS has the highest Return on Invested Capital at 8.2% • DBS price to earnings is 6.85 only higher than BNP & Barclays DBS strong operational efficiency stands out even among the top global bank. Additionally, DBS reported 8.3% annual asset growth in 2022, compared to US banks which have had moderate asset growth or decline. Since 2009, DBS stock has far outperformed other major global banks and stands second only to JP Morgan. Notably, DBS has also outperformed the KBW Bank ETF which tracks the performance of US Banks signalling that DBS has been providing stronger growth than the average growth of the US banking industry, particularly during the high-inflation environment of 2022. The trend is even more apparent when looking at the performance of these stocks since the start of 2020. Among the selected banks, DBS is the only bank that has shown strong gains during the pandemic and stands ~30% higher. Other banks have either posted modest gains or losses. In addition to providing strong growth, which is reflected in DBS stock’s price action, DBS also has a strong commitment to returning value to shareholders which can be seen from their nearly 4.1% dividend yield. DBS annual dividend yield has grown by about 100 bps since 2020. Its dividend in 2022 of S$1.5/share exceeded pre-pandemic levels. DBS also announced a special S$0.5/share dividend last quarter reflecting improved earnings profile and strong capital position. 2023 Growth Outlook Analysts expect DBS to continue its meteoric rise, with an average forecast of 15% growth in 2023. Some analysts expect DBS to be 31% higher while even the lowest forecasts are for -11% decline. Key drivers for this growth are expected to be: • Lean operational strategy and structure leading to lower operational costs. • Capital outflows from China. • Regional expansion strategy using their digital banking template. DBS stock has rallied 86% since March 2020, compared to the Straits Times Index which is only 36% higher in the same period. DBS is the largest constituent of the STI and a major driver of growth for Singapore stocks. Overall, DBS bucked the overall trend in the banking sector and provided growth in an immensely challenging environment by focusing on sustainable growth and lower costs. What about the banking crisis? Investing in bank stocks when uncertainty in the sector is so high can be daunting. The collapse of SVB, shuttering of Signature, and acquisition of Credit Suisse has incited turmoil in markets despite central banks stepping in to ease liquidity concerns and avoid contagion. Amid the crisis there has been discussion of loose regulatory practices and risky bets. However, in Singapore, MAS keeps a tight check on the risk management of banks in the country. According to Moody’s, DBS bank still has the highest tier credit ratings and none of its holding are currently under watch. Such stellar ratings suggest that DBS has extremely strong capacity to meet its financial commitments, making it unlikely to be affected by any remaining contagion in the sector. MAS’s strict stewardship of Singapore banks was underscored by a recent outage in DBS digital services. Though the services were promptly restored on the same day, MAS ordered a thorough investigation into the outage. The outage also affected DBS stock price, driving it 1.5% lower but the stock quickly recovered. Both highlight the resilience in the regulatory, operational, and governance practices at DBS. Trade Setup In times of elevated stress, stock betas can spike causing share prices to tank on macroeconomic shocks. To harness pure alpha, this paper posits a spread with long DBS and short MSCI Singapore Index futures. The spread trade ensures that the position remains hedged against a broader market downturn. DBS has outperformed MSCI Singapore index consistently over the past 10 years. MSCI Futures on SGX (SGP1!) give exposure to S$100 x index price which translates into a notional value of S$30,905. On SGX, lot sizes for individual stocks are 100 which means that in order to balance the notional on both legs, 9 lots of DBS shares are required which translates into a notional value of S$30,042.

DBS rallies ahead of tomorrow's earnings reportThe stock has been performing well ahead of its earnings reports, thanks to the news that DBS will be the bank to utilise MaxxDigital – a digital asset platform that provides risk and FX solutions for institutions. Whilst Singapore’s regulators continue to clamp down on crypto trading for retailers, Singapore wants to become a digital-asset hub within the financial sector – and this could be the first step of many which help them do just that. DBS rose 3.6% on Friday following the announcement and has extended those gains to around 6% at the time of writing from Friday’s low. According to Reuters, 13 analysts recommend DBS stock for a ‘buy’ (4 of which are a strong buy) with 4 holds and no sell recommendations. The stock currently trades at 34.58 and has a median price target of 39.11 (+13%). DBS Daily Chart: The daily chart shows that DBS performed a strong breakout (with high volume) from its sideways range after prices found support at the 200-day and 50-day EMA’s. And that suggests it could be part of the bullish trend from the July low. However, there are a couple of warning signs that it may need to retrace a little before continuing higher. A bearish pinbar formed on Monday with low volume, and yesterday’s price action struggling to convincingly push higher. Gap resistance, $35 and the monthly R1 pivot point are nearby and RSI (2) is overbought - which can indicate a near-term turning point. With that said, the RSI(14) is over 50 and trending higher with prices, which is another reason we suspect any move lower is part of a retracement before prices head for the high around 36.30. Of course, earnings can be full of surprises and we may need to see DBS beat estimates for it to trade directly higher. Otherwise – assuming earnings is not too disappointing – it could help with a desired pullback, where we would seek bullish setups around the monthly pivot / prior breakout range.

DBS holding, a bank of singapore.Monthly chart: give this thing time, and you will keep your money. Zoom in to weekly chart: Support of before-after covid19 at 15,30. but not alone: there is also a big support zone in the range of 17,7-19,16. Last but not least: A resistance seems to be in place at the ATH; 24,4. Do not forget all the moving averages ;D Zoom in again, this time to the daily chart: again, a range between 22,3 and 24.4 (ATH we talked about in the weekly chart) Also, the 200MA is following the price closely, ready to bring support to the price if it fails.
