Banks delivered resilient earnings in 2Q25 (DBS: +0.7% qoq, OCBC: -6.6% qoq) despite severe NIM compression. The downdraft from NIM compression should moderate in 2H25. Asset quality remains relatively stable, unruffled by uncertainties from reciprocal tariffs. Banks provide an attractive dividend yield of 5.9% for 2025. BUY OCBC (Target: S$20.15) for its low 2025F P/B of 1.26x. HOLD DBS (Target: S$52.80) for its 2025 yield of 6.9%. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.

OCBC reported a net profit of S$1,767m in 2Q25 (-7% yoy), supported by growth in non-interest income (fee income: +24% yoy and net trading income: +6% yoy). NIM compressed by a severe 28bp yoy and 12bp qoq due to a steep drop in SORA and HIBOR. Asset quality was largely benign. Management remains committed to its capital management plan to return S$2.5b to shareholders. OCBC provides a dividend yield of 5.8% for 2025. Maintain BUY. Target price: S$20.15.

Higher reciprocal tariffs, ranging from 25% for Japan to 50% for Brazil, would kick in starting 1 August, which could feed into higher inflation in the near term. A subservient next Fed chair sympathetic to Trump’s preference for low interest rates could lead to structurally higher inflation over the long term. Banks could weather volatility from the trade conflict as higher inflation could lead to delays in rate cuts. Maintain OVERWEIGHT. BUY OCBC (Target: S$19.25). HOLD DBS (Target: S$47.00).

We expect NIM compression of 7bp qoq for DBS and 8bp qoq for OCBC in 2Q25 due to the synchronised steep drop in SORA and HIBOR. Fee income is expected to grow 13% yoy for DBS and 14% yoy for OCBC, driven by wealth management. We expect net profit of S$2,691m for DBS (-4% yoy, -7% qoq) and S$1,767m for OCBC (-9% yoy, -6% qoq). Easing of trade conflict and closing of more trade deals is positive for economic growth. Maintain OVERWEIGHT. BUY OCBC (Target: S$19.25). HOLD DBS (Target: S$47.00).
