DBS hits all-time high stock price of $31.47

This is the first time a stock traded above $31 per unit for one session.

Stocks for the banking giant, DBS, traded at an all-time high of $31.74 on 11 August, Monday, the highest since 2 May 2018.

This is according to the latest data from the Singapore Exchange (SGX), who noted that Singapore’s three top banks: DBS, OCBC, and UOB, recorded a combined net interest income of $5.13b in the second quarter.

Together, the three banks also have a 2021 year-to-date total return of 24% as of 12 August, extending its 19% total returns from the first half.

Combined wealth management net fee and commission income from the three banks was at $2.0b in the first half, almost tripling the $700m recorded in the same period 7 years ago.

“In 1HFY21 the combined wealth management net fee and commission income, of the trio increased 21% from 2HFY20, which was the strongest sequential growth since the 31% growth in 1HFY17 from 2HFY16. Wealth Management was earmarked as a growth segment going into 1HFY21 with UOB noting that wealth management fees reached record levels amid returning investor confidence on the market recovery,” the SGX said in a report.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
