UOB to rake in robust results in next quarters

It's a powerhouse of 500 offices.

According to Phillip Securities, UOB Ltd provides a wide range of financial services including banking, insurance, and asset management. Its main operations are in Southeast Asia, including Singapore and Malaysia, with more than 500 offices in 19 countries and territories.

Here's more from Phillip Securities:

Since we upgraded UOB from Reduce to Accumulate on 8 Nov 2012, share price dipped marginally before rallying as per our expectations.

While the macro economy remains uncertain, we continue to expect UOB to deliver strong results for the next few quarters. Loans growth is expected to be moderate but
positive, mitigating the continued pressure on NIMs.

Fees and Commission are expected to grow rapidly, driven by strong transaction banking and wealth management performances. Geographically, contributions from UOB’s overseas subsidiaries are expected to increase.

UOB may also benefit from an improvement in the China economy, which may drive higher trade volumes and banking services between China and ASEAN, in which UOB has strong capabilities in.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
