But if I am ro speculate, I'd pick and hold DBS - **WH the rooster · 2026-08-05T21:25:23.000Z · 👍 1**: My vote DBS. The senior management and the culture which contributed a lot in their business growth! A stable dividend stock for me. - **Excellent69 · 2026-08-05T17:44:11.000Z · 👍 1**: DBS to $80 - **0fStnk · 2026-08-05T15:18:15.000Z**: DBS we trust - **KellyWML · 2026-08-05T14:40:00.000Z**: My simple statement, SG = STI = DBS - **NewUser_CkrdqW · 2026-08-05T13:54:42.000Z · 👍 1**: I vote for DBS. Here's why:DBS reported net profit of S$2.93 billion in 1Q26, another record for the bank and up 1% year-on-year. This was despite a challenging interest rate environment, which led to net interest margin compression and a 5% year-on-year decline in group net interest income to S$3.4 - **NewUser_zS0M8w · 2026-08-05T13:45:55.000Z**: I voted for DBS, because they are sustainable and have held themselves to strict regulations and performance reviews over the years. What's most important also for most local investors, is the dividend yield from these blue chip stocks. DBS has managed to keep its dividend yield fairly consistent an - **蓝筹厨师 · 2026-08-05T13:10:52.000Z**: I'm investing in DBS. Market sentiment is cautious ahead of the earnings report, but high interest rates and capital returns still provide support. As long as management guidance remains steady, I believe it will outperform relatively this week. - ** 八方来财！ · 2026-08-05T12:07:23.000Z**: Ocbc is my favorite and it has the most clean balance sheet among the 3 bank. - **JoshT · 2026-08-05T11:53:37.000Z**: Gonna hold OCBC till it goes to the moon! - **Jake_L_Kelly · 2026-08-05T11:42:56.000Z · 👍 1**: DBS stand out among others, considering for it weight in STI, it’s just too big to fall. - **kazumo kid · 2026-08-05T11:42:02.000Z**: In trust with DBS performance - **Pingu · 2026-08-05T11:39:51.000Z**: this earning week I will add to buy DBS because I think DBS will perform well - **NewUser_cDijAJJ · 2026-08-05T11:23:56.000Z**: Out of all three banks, OCBC has been increasing its total earnings the fastest recently. - **Yan · 2026-08-05T11:13:07.000Z**: I will HOLD because there's more downward pressure for $DBS(D05.SG)to go than the other way. - **icbXB8 · 2026-08-05T11:08:53.000Z**: > DBS is the safe pick. most expensive of the three but also the only one that raised dividends last quarter. wealth management fees cushion the NIM squeeze. downside? it's basically at macquarie's target already so don't expect a re-rating like UOB might get - **Veron · 2026-08-05T11:04:22.000Z**: DBS all the way to the Moon! - **GoldmineX · 2026-08-05T10:59:00.000Z · 👍 1**: At current valuations, OCBC offers the best balance of quality, resilience and price. DBS remains the best-operated bank, but its valuation leaves less room for error.Why OCBC winsBetter earnings momentum: 1Q26 profit increased 5% year-on-year, versus only 1% for DBS and a 4% decline for UOB.Stronge - **NewUser_ThinkSwim · 2026-08-05T10:58:19.000Z**: DBS and OCBC although valuation are high and near all time high I believe it has more room for higher after consolidation or pullback. So be cautious and dca slowly do not fomo into a good stock if the price is not a 'good' price. --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
