The majority of these 25 stocks are also on average trading at P/B ratios that are at discount to their 5-year average P/B ratio. The largest Manufacturing Index weight is currently ST Engineering, which has consolidated on its 2023 gains over the past 7 weeks and scheduled to report its FY23 results on 29 Feb before the market open. For its 9MFY23, ST Engineering reported its revenue grew 12% YoY to S$7.3 billion, while it booking S$11.7 billion in new contract wins. In 2023, ST Engineering generated a 21% total return. Venture has booked the most net institutional inflow over the past seven weeks within the Manufacturing Index with S$43 million of net inflow. This follows S$292 million in net outflow in 9M23 and S$62 million in net inflow in 4Q23. Venture will report its FY23 results after the 22 Feb market close. Last year, Venture reported its 9MFY23 revenue was S$2.3 billion, a decline of 19% YoY, against a high base in the previous year, and soft customer demand and ongoing inventory destocking.Current Economic Outlook for Singapore Manufacturing Singapore’s manufacturing sector moderated in 2023, with a 4.3% contraction, reversing the 2.7% growth in 2022. Looking forward, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) expect that as global electronics demand recovers, Singapore's manufacturing and trade-related sectors will see a gradual improvement in growth. MTI reason that the electronics and precision engineering clusters in the manufacturing sector are expected to bounce back, as semiconductor sales have exceeded expectations both globally and domestically. MTI also added last week that the wholesale trade sector's machinery, equipment, and supplies segment will also benefit from increased external demand for electronic components and telecommunications and computers. However, downside risks remain in the global economy, including escalation of geopolitical tensions, lagged effects of global monetary tightening and idiosyncratic cost shocks.The iEdge SG Advanced Manufacturing Index is Diversified Across Multiple IndustriesThe constituents of the iEdge SG Advanced Manufacturing Index have contributed 18 cents into every dollar that have gone to work in the Singapore stock market over the past seven weeks. Manufacturing has a similar impact on Singapore GDP, representing 21% of the GDP in 2023, and 22% in 2022. Like the key clusters of Singapore’s Industrial Production, the constituents of the iEdge SG Advanced Manufacturing Index represent multiple industries, with the wide span of revenue classifications for Sector Criteria detailed in Section 10 of the Index Methodology document found here.   The Index is reviewed semi-annually in March and September and Index constituents will have their Index weights capped at 10% at each semi-annual rebalance date. Since the last rebalance (and capping process) in September, Singapore Technologies Engineering’s comparative performance has seen the stock now rank as the largest  Index weight, with a current weight of 11.4%.Over the past seven weeks the Index constituents have seen S$21.5 million in combined net institutional outflow. At the same time more stocks in the Index saw net institutional inflow than net outflow over the period, with six stocks booking net inflow for every five that booked net outflow. Within the iEdge SG Advanced Manufacturing Index, Sectors that saw more overall institutional net inflow than net outflow included Industrials, Technology (Hardware/Software) and Healthcare. On the other hand, the Consumer, Energy and Materials and Resources Sectors experienced more overall institutional net outflow. At the constituent level, Venture Corporation booked the highest net institutional inflow within the Index.Following the strong January Singapore NODX report prior to the Friday open, the combined daily trading turnover of the iEdge SG Advanced Manufacturing Index reached its highest levels since 15 December. The 1.8% gain for the Index on Friday was also its strongest session gain since 3 November. This brought the Index decline in total return to 5.5% over the past seven weeks, following its 2.4% decline in total return in 2023 as discussed here. The 25 largest weights of the Index are tabled below.ConstituentStock CodeIndex WeightYTD ADT S$MMkt Cap S$MYTD NIF S$MMTD Px Chg %YTD TR %P/B (x)5-year P/B (x)SectorST EngineeringS6311.41%15.4512,1729.54.80.54.985.16IndustrialsYZJ Shipbldg SGDBS610.20%26.926,63733.20.012.81.960.77IndustrialsWilmar IntlF349.53%16.9620,226-10.6-1.8-9.20.771.05Consumer Non-CyclicalsVentureV037.86%11.814,06143.44.32.81.451.90Technology (Hardware/ Software)ThaiBevY927.56%14.6212,564-18.5-4.8-1.61.672.81Consumer Non-CyclicalsSeatriumS517.13%32.216,344-51.0-7.0-21.20.780.81IndustrialsNIO Inc.
