OCBC and UOB continue to beat expectations. NIM is on an upward trend, trade loans have recovered and contributions from wealth management are marching higher. Headwinds from the oil & gas sector are receding. Dividend policies could be reviewed once new capital requirements from Basel 4 are finalised. Maintain OVERWEIGHT. BUY OCBC (Target: S$13.38) and DBS (Target: S$24.85).

Sector Outlook For 2H17 Is Still Positive
As of May, Singapore’s manufacturing output rose 5% YoY, mainly due to a 35.1% YoY increase in the electronics cluster’s output and strong export demand for semiconductor-related equipment. For 2H17, the trend would likely continue, due to a few major product launches slated for 2H17, as well as in preparation for the festive Christmas season sales. Our Top Picks across Singapore’s tech sector are still Venture, Avi-Tech and Jadason.
