BIG divergence: DBS UP 1% but UOB down 1% 💥

DBS Group Holdings’ net profit for 2QFY2025 ended June 30 rose 1% y-o-y to $2.82 billion, 1% above consensus. Net profit for 1HFY2025 was slightly lower y-o-y at $5.72 billion compared to $5.76 billion this time last year.



UOB Group, having set aside more general allowance as a pre-emptive move, has reported earnings of $2.8 billion for 1HFY2025, down 3% over the year-earlier period ended June 2024.
For its 2QFY2025, overall earnings dropped by 10% q-o-q to $1.3 billion, and 6% y-o-y, with lower interest rates. 😳


I'd try to prep a new update, give me awhile, I just moved firms and team is swamped with client updates. If keen for a video on DBS & UOB, upvote! 👍

From Phillip Securities
SGX posts record revenue, net profit in FY2025; proposes final quarterly dividend of 10.5 cents per share
The Singapore Exchange (SGX Group) has reported its highest revenue and net profit since listing, following record first-half figures posted in February. SGX reported earnings of $648 million for the FY2025 ended June 30, 8.4% higher than FY2024’s earnings of $598 million.

SGX has proposed a final quarterly dividend of 10.5 cents per share, up by 1.5 cents from last year’s final quarterly dividend and 16.7% higher y-o-y. This brings SGX’s total FY2025 dividend to 37.5 cents per share.
The bourse has also proposed a 0.25-cent increase in its dividend every quarter from FY2026 to FY2028. This is subject to SGX’s shareholders’ approval at its annual general meeting (AGM) to be held on Oct 9.

Should the proposed increase go through, FY2026 will see a total dividend payout of 44.5 cents, while FY2027 and FY2028 will see total dividends of 48.5 cents and 52.5 cents per share respectively.
Shares in SGX closed 6 cents higher, or 0.37% up, at $16.34 on Aug 7, up 30% year to date.
