Banks clear winners amid disappointing Q3

LOCAL banking groups DBS Group Holdings, OCBC Bank and United Overseas Bank (UOB) have stood out as clear winners amid a slightly disappointing third-quarter earnings cycle for Singapore-listed companies, said investment research houses interviewed by The Business Times.
Disappointments in the shipping, industrial, consumer and commodity segments came from the likes of Neptune Orient Lines (NOL), Singapore Technologies Engineering, Super Group and Golden Agri-Resources, all of which missed earnings expectations. Also disappointing was developer City Developments.
