DBS Group Holdings (SGX: D05) Stock Hits Fresh Highs: Dividend Engine, S$8B Capital Return Plan, and the 2026 Outlook (Dec 26, 2025)

SINGAPORE (Dec. 26, 2025) — DBS Group Holdings Ltd (SGX: D05) is ending 2025 in the kind of territory long-term bank investors like: near the top of its 52-week range, supported by hefty shareholder payouts and a wave of “Singapore as a safe haven” capital flows.

SINGAPORE — DBS Group Holdings Ltd (SGX:D05; Reuters: DBSM.SI), Southeast Asia’s largest bank by assets, ended the shortened Christmas Eve session (Dec. 24, 2025) slightly lower even as broader global risk sentiment stayed constructive.

Singapore Stock Market Today: SGX Eyes a Quiet Christmas Eve Open After STI’s Record Close (24 Dec 2025)

Singapore stocks head into the Christmas Eve session with the Straits Times Index (STI) sitting at fresh highs, local inflation staying subdued, and Wall Street providing a late-year tailwind after the S&P 500 printed another record close overnight.

Singapore shares at record levels as banks keep leading the STI The headline into Wednesday’s open is straightforward: Singapore’s benchmark is at an all-time high.

SINGAPORE — Dec. 23, 2025 — DBS Group Holdings Ltd (SGX: D05), Southeast Asia’s largest bank by assets, is ending 2025 with its share price hovering near 52-week highs, powered by a rare combination for a big-bank stock: strong profitability, resilient asset quality, and an explicit multi-year capital return program that blends buybacks with “capital return” dividends. As investors scan for what comes next, the debate around DBS stock has sharpened into two competing narratives: (1) a high-quality cash-return story with durable fee engines (wealth, transaction banking, markets), versus (2) an unavoidable interest-rate headwind that could cap earnings growth and

DBS Group Holdings Ltd (SGX:D05) is ending 2025 with the kind of problem long-term shareholders love: the stock is hovering near record territory, and the market’s argument has shifted from “can DBS grow?” to “how much of that growth—and capital return—is already priced in?” As of Dec. 22, 2025 (2:07pm SGT), DBS shares traded around S$55.70 on the Singapore Exchange, after a prior close of S$54.87.

DBS shares last closed at S$54.87 on Dec 19 (Singapore market was shut on Dec 20), leaving the stock just off its 52-week high of S$56.00 set earlier this
