What is the OCBC lawsuit about?

Sentoria Group lodged a writ in Malaysia seeking to cancel corporate guarantees issued to OCBC Bank (Malaysia) and to claim RM679 million in damages. Reports say the writ has not yet been served. Investors will watch for any provisions, credit cost impact, and group disclosures before judging materiality.

How could OCBC Malaysia litigation affect dividends?

OCBC’s dividend yield is about 4.41% with a payout ratio near 35.4%. Unless provisions are large and recurring, dividends look supported by earnings capacity. We will reassess after management comments and disclosures at the 25 February results, especially on legal costs and any additional credit charges.

What are the key price levels for O39.SI now?

Price is S$21.44, a new 52-week high. The 50-day average at S$19.74 and 200-day at S$17.49 are important supports. RSI at 59.69 shows firm momentum, while a slightly negative MACD histogram suggests a possible short pause. A sustained move below the 50-day would weaken momentum.

Is O39.SI a buy despite the OCBC lawsuit?

Our system shows a B+ (BUY) stock grade and an A- Buy rating as of 3 Feb 2026. Valuation and yield are reasonable. Still, position sizing matters while litigation risk is open. Wait for clarity on provisions and guidance at results if your risk tolerance is low. This is not advice.
