OCBC share price to sustain explosive form?
Lifetime Membership The last time that I covered OCBC share price was in September 2024. Back then, I predicted the support level for this counter to be $15 and resistance level to be $16. Subsequently, 2025 saw OCBC charging past the pivotal level of $16 as the stock raced to a record high of $17.85 on 19 February 2025. Previously, I had also raised doubts on the sustainability of OCBC share price going forward. In this article, let’s see how OCBC share price will fare in 2025.
Year-to-date, OCBC share price has lost its supersonic form of 2024 and had so far declined by 1.9%. The bull run of OCBC share price in 2024 was remarkable as it was the share’s best run since 2005. While the drop does not necessarily warrant alarm bells to set off, it does somewhat vindicate the old saying that “what goes up must surely come down”. Evidently, OCBC share price have peaked.
Nonetheless, barring unforeseen circumstances, I doubt that a correction of OCBC share price, if it does occur, will be severe due to the strong fundamentals of the bank. Apart from this, OCBC has also resumed its share buybacks programme. As at 16 April 2025, the cumulative shares bought back amounted to 20.7 million.
