About this episode
Thilan discusses key developments in Singapore's banking sector and market trends, featuring insights from analysts on major companies.
In this week's ASEAN Speaks , our host Thilan breaks down the key developments shaping Singapore’s markets as the US government shutdown nears resolution and expectations rise for a December Fed rate cut. In light of that, we review Singapore banks’ 3Q results, highlighting why OCBC has been upgraded to BUY, while DBS remains a BUY and UOB a HOLD. Thilan explains the trends driving net interest income, non-interest income, and capital returns across the sector. Our TMT analyst Hussaini, then joins to discuss SingTel, sharing insights from its Associate performance and how that could influence upcoming results. Covering for Samuel, our gaming analyst, Sheryl covers Genting Singapore's strong 3Q results, reiterating its BUY call due to upcoming 4Q seasonality, and expansion in non-gaming attractions as key drivers for continued growth.
