OCBC's Planned Capital Returns Likely via Dividends -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

02/25

0052 GMT - The remainder of Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp.'s S$2.5 billion capital return plan announced last year is likely to be done through dividends rather than share buybacks, says Citi analyst Tan Yong Hong in a note. The Singapore lender has committed to completing this plan by 2026, which implies around S$225 million worth of shares will be canceled while the remaining amount will be returned through dividends, he says.This could result in a 60% dividend payout ratio in 2026, which is higher than the 50% the lender has guided for, he says. Tan expects shares to rise on this potentially higher dividend payout ratio and the bank's 4Q result beating expectations. Citi has a buy rating and S$24.50 target price on OCBC, which was last at S$21.43.(megan.cheah@wsj.com)
