0324 GMT - DBS Group could potentially boost its dividends next year, say RHB Research analysts in a note. The Singapore lender is committing to its quarterly S$0.15-a-share capital-return dividend in 2026 and 2027, but said its too early to confirm a S$0.24-a-share step-up in ordinary dividends beyond 2026, the analysts say. RHB sees scope for higher dividends next year as DBS said it is keeping its options open for the unused portion of its S$3 billion share buyback program at this stage. RHB trims its 2026 profit after tax projection by 2.0% after the bank's results, but raises its target price to S$63.50 from S$59.00 on lower cost of equity estimates. RHB maintains its buy rating on DBS, which is 0.55% lower at S$57.87. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
