  • DBS Shares Hit Record High: Should Investors Sell or Hold?
    January 28, 2026, 11:14 PM EST. DBS Group Holdings Limited (SGX: D05) reached a 52-week high of S$59.57 on January 28, 2026. The bank's strong fundamentals, including higher net interest margins (NIMs) and growing dividends, have driven the stock to all-time highs. DBS's common equity tier one (CET1) ratio stands at 15.1%, indicating solid capital buffers. The stock trades at a last 12 months (LTM) price-to-book ratio of 2.5, above its five-year average of 1.5, signaling elevated valuations. Investors face a choice: sell now to manage portfolio risk and protect gains amid possible earnings softness or hold for steady dividends and long-term growth in wealth management. Timing market moves is challenging; historically, DBS investors benefited most from dividends rather than frequent trading.
