Is now a good time to buy DBS shares after the Q4 miss?

It depends on your goal. For income, the payout profile is attractive, and guidance reduces downside surprises. For growth, valuation is full, so consider waiting for either a breakout above S$60 or a pullback to S$56–57. Set stop-losses and size positions prudently.

What is the latest DBS dividend and yield?

Investors get S$0.66 in ordinary dividend plus S$0.15 in capital return this round. On trailing DPS of S$2.85 and a share price of S$58.19, the yield is about 4.93%. Management plans to extend capital returns through 2027, subject to earnings and capital needs.

What did DBS bank guide for 2026 earnings?

Management indicated 2026 net profit should be slightly below 2025, mainly due to expected rate cuts and normalised credit costs. The plan is to offset pressure with fee growth, wealth management flows, and disciplined expenses. That points to steadier quarters rather than big upside surprises.

What are the key risks for DBS shares in 2026?

The main risks are faster margin compression from rapid rate cuts, higher provisions if credit quality weakens, and slower fee income. Exposure to China and Hong Kong adds uncertainty. Regulatory changes or higher capital buffers could also limit payout flexibility if conditions tighten.
