OCBC Stock News & Forecast (Dec. 13, 2025): Share Price Near Record Highs as Wealth Fees Surge and 2026 Dividend Debate Heats Up

SINGAPORE — As of Dec. 13, 2025, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC, SGX: O39) is back in the spotlight after a strong late-year run that pushed the stock toward fresh highs.
