Dugong Management 2025 Q3 Portfolio Update

2025 Q3 Portfolio

I have finally added my favourite dividend stock, DBS, to my portfolio in 2025 Q3. I purchased 500 shares of DBS at an average price of $45.32 in 2025 Q3. As mentioned previously, I am aiming to have at least $1 million worth of DBS stock in my dividend portfolio due to its impressive and consistent DPU growth rate. 

The dividend payout in 2025 Q3 has been slightly below my expectations due to Mapletree Industrial Trust and Mapletree Logistics Trust reducing their dividend payouts for this quarter. However, I remain confident in the long-term prospects and management of these two Mapletree REITs. The surprise standout REIT for 2025 Q3 would have to be CapLand Integrated Commercial Trust, with its increase in dividend payout and acquisition of CapitaSpring. Ascendas REIT has maintained its steady performance with stable dividend payouts. 

As mentioned in a previous post, DBS continues to show why it is the best dividend stock in SGX for investors in its 2025 Q3 earnings report. DBS net portfolio was up 1% Y-O-Y for 2025 FYQ2 to an impressive $2.82billion. As expected, its share price has increased accordingly due to its stellar performance. More significantly, its non-interest income grew by an impressive 10% Y-O-Y to $2.08 billion, driven by treasury customer sales, higher fee income, and market trading gain. DBS continues to shine as the king of dividend stocks in SGX, with sustainable growth and amazing dividends. 

Long Term Goals
I am aiming to add an additional $975k worth of DBS stocks to my dividend portfolio over the next few years to hit my target of $1 million worth of DBS stocks. I will likely be adding a large sum of money by 2025 Q4 when a couple of insurance endowment plans have matured. REITs continue to struggle due to the US interest rates remaining high. Nevertheless, REITs will eventually rise back to their former glory when inflation has stabilised and the US Fed starts lowering interest rates. This will likely reflect an increase in DPU over the next few years for REITs.

Dugong Management 2025 Q2 Portfolio Update

2025 Q2 Portfolio 2025 Q2 has been a relatively quiet quarter for my portfolio. I have been steadily collecting dividends this quarter and awaiting a ripe opportunity to add DBS stocks to my portfolio. There have been many recent market uncertainties, with the US recently joining the war against Iran with Israel. Technical indicators for SPY and QQQ have also just recently turned bearish. I am expecting to add DBS stocks in 2025 Q3 to my portfolio, currently still on target to achieve a $1m portfolio size by the end of 2025. I am also looking to consolidate my Bond portfolio at the end of 2025.  Long Term Goals I plan to gradually add an estimated $1m worth of DBS stocks to my dividend portfolio over the next few years when a few insurance plans mature. I firmly believe DBS stock is one of the best dividend stock available on SGX, providing high dividend yields with high dividend growth rates.  As of 22 June 2025:  Portfolio:  Total cost of portfolio as of 22 June 20...

Best Singapore Dividend Stock To Buy 2025

Image
DBS (D05) is the single best dividend stock a dividend investor can add to their portfolio. Here are the top 3 reasons why DBS is the best dividend stock an investor should  include in their dividend portfolio. DBS is Singapore's largest bank and is one of Asia's leading banks.  1. Dividend Per Unit (DPU) Growth Rate  Dividend per unit (DPU) is the amount of dividend a single stock pays out when you own the stock. DPU growth rate is one of the most important criteria a dividend investor must take into account when purchasing a dividend stock for the long term, as it ensures your dividend income will gradually increase over the years as you own the stock. This is the most attractive quality of DBS stock. After analysing most blue-chip dividend stocks in SGX, DBS' DPU growth rate over the past 20 years is the highest.  DBS has an insane DPU growth rate over the years. It is one of the fastest-growing DPU dividend stocks listed on SGX. In 2024, DBS DPU increased by 26% ...

Top Criteria For Choosing A Dividend Stock - Double Digit Dividend Yields

Image
I learned many lessons after reading 'Get rich with dividends - A proven system for earning double-digit returns' by Marc Lichtenfeld. I highly recommend that any dividend investor read this book to appreciate and understand dividend investing. The most important thing I learned was that the top criterion for choosing a dividend stock is the dividend per unit (DPU) growth rate of the dividend stock.  Increasing Dividend Yields  A dividend company with a yearly DPU positive growth rate will ensure that your dividend yield will only increase the longer you hold onto the stock. With sufficient time, this snowball compounding effect can potentially increase your dividend yield to double-digit yearly returns. A classic example would be owning shares of DBS stock. An investor who bought DBS stock 10 years ago is yielding at least close to a 20% yearly dividend yield due to DBS's yearly DPU growth rate. The further back you go, the higher the dividend yield becomes. An investor w...
