# UOB leads Singapore blue chip losses on lower Q4 earnings, Wall Street’s tumble

> UOB shares fell to a one-month low after reporting a 7% decline in Q4 profit, dropping to S$37. The bank's net profit for the quarter ended Dec 31 was S$1.41 billion, missing the S$1.44 billion consensus estimate. Peers DBS and OCBC also saw declines, while other ST Index components dropped following a significant fall in the Dow Jones.

\[SINGAPORE\] Shares of UOB hit a one-month low in early trade on Tuesday (Feb 24) after the lender posted a 7 per cent decline in fourth quarter profit.

As at 9.13 am, the counter fell as much as 4.6 per cent or S$1.80 to S$37, with over 1.7 million shares changing hands. This marked the stock’s lowest price in over a month, as it last traded lower on Jan 22.

By 9.45 am, it had pared down some losses and was trading at S$37.15, still down 4.3 per cent or S$1.65, with more than 3.1 million shares transacted.

This came as UOB’s Q4 net profit for the quarter ended Dec 31 fell 7 per cent to S$1.41 billion, from S$1.52 billion in the year-ago period, amid margin pressures from lower benchmark rates.

UOB’s peers DBS and OCBC retreated 0.9 per cent or S$0.51 to S$57.64 and 2 per cent or S$0.43 to S$21.26 respectively.

Among other ST Index components, ST Engineering, Jardine Matheson, ThaiBev were down 1.8 to over 2 per cent after the Dow Jones plunged 822 points or 1.66 per cent overnight on Wall Street.

The lower performance missed the S$1.44 billion consensus estimate of a Bloomberg survey.
