DBS Group stock heads into results week with profit forecast

DBS Group is scheduled to report its third-quarter results on Thursday, November 5, 2026. In research published on October 15, UOB Kay Hian forecast net profit of 3.079 billion Singapore dollars, broadly flat from a year earlier but down 4 percent from the second quarter.

The forecast provides the central reference point for the week ahead. UOB Kay Hian expects loan growth of 8.3 percent year over year and a net interest margin of 1.88 percent in the quarter. The research attributes the expected improvement in net interest income to loan growth and a more stable margin environment.

Fees and credit costs in focus

Wealth management is another key earnings variable. UOB Kay Hian expects wealth management income to ease 4 percent quarter over quarter from the seasonal second-quarter peak, while still rising 11 percent year over year to 880 million Singapore dollars. The report also forecasts total provisions of 204 million Singapore dollars and a credit cost of 17 basis points.

Investors will therefore be watching whether stronger lending and stable margins can offset softer wealth management income and higher provisions. The results should also provide a fresh view on the sustainability of returns and capital distributions after a strong first half.
