DBSDY #cf Singtel, T:US #$100..200

— DBS stock?

  • πŸ™ no fractional supported
  • πŸ™ price trend? 6M down
  • πŸ™‚ good dividend yield around 4% .. https://www.investing.com/equities/dbs-group-holdings-ltd-dividends
  • not a distressed stock like SIA
  • πŸ™‚ analysts mostly positive https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/SG/D05/research-ratings

Tanko warned that Singtel was basically stagnant over 10Y. Yet if DBS pays 5% DY then I don’t mind stagnation πŸ™‚

How does T:US compare? The 20Y chart is no better than Singtel or DBS. However, the T:US div didn’t drop since 1998 πŸ™‚

  • As a proxy to analyst coverage, we can look at institutional ownership. institutions own 80% of UVV. This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can’t rely on that fact alone since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does.
