    [SINGAPORE] Analysts raised price targets for shares of DBS, following its first quarter results release on Thursday (May 8).

    The bank’s net profit at S$2.9 billion for the three months ended Mar 31 - 2 per cent lower than the S$2.95 billion from the same year-ago period. However, it beat the S$2.87 billion consensus forecast in a Bloomberg survey of eight analysts.

    An interim dividend per share (DPS) of S$0.60 and a capital return DPS of S$0.15 were also declared, reflecting a total dividend of S$0.75 per share for Q1.
