What\u2019s important to know is that there are other, and even better alternatives for investors to consider to grow their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/make-passive-income-in-singapore\/\">passive income stream<\/a> &#8211; that is easily at reach to most.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take our local bourse, SGX, for example. Well-known for its composite of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/singapore-blue-chip-stocks\/\">stable blue-chip companies<\/a>, SGX has been extra popular with investors who are looking to build a portfolio of stable business that gives out good dividends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because building a passive income stream with strong dividend stocks is like having a side hustle without the actual hustling, it\u2019s worth paying attention to the ways we can do so successfully!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the top dividend stocks to consider for your portfolio:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DBS Group Holdings Ltd (<a href=\"https:\/\/app.syfe.com\/?link=https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/goto%2FStock%3FisAt%3Dtrue%26isLoginRequired%3Dtrue%26securityId%3DD05%3ASG&amp;apn=com.syfe&amp;ofl=https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/trade\/&amp;isi=1497156434&amp;ibi=com.syfe\">SGX: D05<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Household brand DBS Bank is a multinational banking and financial services corporation headquartered in Singapore. It\u2019s almost hard to find someone in Singapore who hasn\u2019t heard of or banked with the bank. But beyond Singapore, DBS has a strong presence in the Asia region, especially in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, China and India with over 280 branches and over 1,000 ATMs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most recently, the bank posted record-breaking results for Q2 2023, with a net profit of S$2.7 billion, 20% higher year-on-year. The significant rise in net profits was driven by rising interest rates and higher net interest margins. These results have surpassed analysts expectations, and the bank is forecasted to record its highest-ever yearly net profits at the end of this financial year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on past data, DBS has proven to pay consistent dividends for its shares. The bank saw a payout of S$2.00 a share in FY 2022, as compared to S$1.20 in FY 2021. Currently, the bank has proposed a dividend of $0.48 dividends per share, and is estimated to have a forward dividend yield of 5.68%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: Syfe; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbs.com\/investors\/financials\/dividend-information\">DBS<\/a>; Yahoo Finance.

This brought the bank\u2019s total earnings for Q2 2022 to S$1.4 billion. The bank currently has a dividend of $0.85 per share and a forward dividend yield of 5.89%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being the smallest listed bank in Singapore, UOB acquired Citigroup\u2019s consumer business for about S$5 billion in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam, doubling its retail customer base to over 7 million and making it one of the top stocks to watch in the coming future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UOB\u2019s CEO Wee Ee Cheong has said that the Citi portfolio acquisition will be a main growth driver in 2023, given that its performance had already surpassed expectations. The inclusion of these four markets in the bank\u2019s customer base is expected to boost their revenue by S$1 billion on a full-year basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: Syfe; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uobgroup.com\/investor-relations\/shares-and-dividends\/dividends.html\">UOB<\/a>; Yahoo Finance.
