0106 GMT - Investors are likely to focus on DBS Group's commitment to return capital through additional dividends when the bank reports its 3Q results, RHB Research's Singapore research team writes in a note. They project DBS to pay a 3Q interim dividend of S$0.60 plus a capital-return dividend of S$0.15. DBS's projected 2026 dividend yield could be 6.1% if the bank affirms that it can sustain a higher payout next year, the analysts add. Its dividend yield spreads over risk-free yields would then remain attractive, they say. However, they expect DBS's 2H results to be softer than 1H due to seasonality and a U.S. tariff drag. RHB Research raises its target to S$57.10 from S$52.80 and maintains its buy rating on DBS, which falls 0.1% to S$53.88. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
