UOB (ISIN SG1M31001969) was trading at EUR 29.70 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 9:16 a.m. CEST, down 1.98 percent from the EUR 30.30 prior close. The latest analyst review raised the target from SGD 46.60 to SGD 47.60 while retaining a Buy rating, according to Zaobao on October 6, 2026.
Target rises above the bank quote
The new SGD 47.60 target stands 11.66 percent above the SGD 42.63 primary-exchange price reported for UOB on October 7, 2026. The euro quote and the Singapore-dollar target use separate venues and currencies, so the comparison is descriptive rather than a conversion of the Lang & Schwarz price.
The target change came with unchanged 2026 earnings expectations in the analyst note. The review also raised projected profit after tax attributable to minority interests for fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2028 by 5.00 percent and 4.00 percent, respectively, while retaining the fiscal 2026 forecast, Zaobao reported.
Profit grows as margins tighten
UOB reported SGD 1.50 billion in net profit after tax for the second quarter of 2026, up 10.00 percent year on year. Net profit for the first half of 2026 reached SGD 2.90 billion, up 3.00 percent, while return on equity for the second quarter was 11.80 percent, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript published on August 7, 2026.
The earnings mix shows the key tension for the bank. Net interest income declined 3.00 percent year on year in the first half of 2026, while wealth income rose 16.00 percent and customer loans expanded 5.00 percent. UOB's second-quarter net interest margin was 1.74 percent, down from 1.82 percent in the first quarter, and the July exit margin was 1.71 percent, according to the same Yahoo Finance transcript.
Next update arrives November 4
UOB's investor calendar lists its 9M26 and third-quarter 2026 trading update for November 4, 2026. That date gives the next formal checkpoint for loan growth, fee income and net interest margin after the second-quarter margin decline, according to UOB.
