OCBC Stays Constructive on Singapore Equities in 2026 -- Market Talk

Dow Jones12-03

0523 GMT - OCBC remains constructive on Singapore equities next year. Apart from the city-state's sound fundamentals and healthy economic growth, its favorable risk-reward versus most other developed markets should also provide strong price support, OCBC analysts write in a note. One key advantage for Singapore equities is the high average dividend yield of the 30 companies that make up the STI. Their current dividend yield of 4.7% compares favorably with the rest of the region, which ranges from 1.6% to 4.5%, the analysts note. With the global outlook staying muted, OCBC expects Singapore banks to continue growing their regional footprints and regional incomes. (jiahui.huang@wsj.com; @ivy_jiahuihuang)
