DBS to sell preference shares to retail investors. Really ah???

Read? DBS to sell preference shares to retail investors

It should be read as "DBS is replacing DBS 6% NCPS with DBS 4.7% NCPS".

High chance that most current holders of DBS 6% NCPS will take up DBS 4.7%. In another word, DBS is refinancing its long-term debt at a lower rate so it is positive for the mother share.

At today closing at $14.04, current DBS dividend yield is about 4%. So does it still make sense to take up DBS 4.7% NCPS?

    I will take back my money from DBS NCPS 6% next year. 10 years just went by so quickly. I still remember how I queued at the ATM to apply for it.

    I won't bother to apply for DBS NCPS 4.7%. I can get better returns elsewhere. :)

    I think DBS ordinary share has more liquidity n room for capital gain. :)
