3 Blue-Chip Stocks Still Offering 6%+ Dividend Yields

The Smart Investor06-15 07:30

A 6% yield is easy to find. A 6% yield that holds is harder. Plenty of Singapore-listed names are advertising payouts north of 6% right now. The number on its own tells you nothing about whether it...

A 6% yield that holds is harder.\n\nPlenty of Singapore-listed names are advertising payouts north of 6% right now. \n\nThe number on its own tells you nothing about whether it will still be there next year. \n\nWhat matters is what funds the dividend. \n\nFree cash flow is the lifeblood of dividends, and three high-yielders on the SGX are drawing on three very different sources to keep theirs flowing.\n\nHere are the three, ordered from the steadiest case to the one that asks the most questions.\n\nMapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U)\nMapletree Logistics Trust, or MLT, runs 175 logistics properties across nine Asia Pacific markets, with assets under management (AUM) of S$13.1 billion as at 31 March 2026.\n\nThe headline looks soft. \n\nDistribution per unit (DPU) for the fourth quarter of FY2025/2026 fell 7.0% year on year (YoY) to S$0.018. But the drop is cosmetic. It reflects the absence of divestment gains booked in the prior year, not a decline in the underlying business. \n\nStrip those one-off gains out and operational DPU actually rose 0.9% YoY.That marks four consecutive quarters of steady operational DPU.\n\nThe portfolio backs this up. Occupancy improved to 96.9%, and rental reversion strengthened to +3.3%, or +4.2% once China is excluded. China itself is healing: rental reversion there narrowed to -2.0%, a sharp improvement from -9.4% a year ago. \n\nGross revenue dipped 1.7% to S$176.6 million and net property income edged down 0.9% to S$151.4 million, but management noted that excluding divestments and currency weakness, revenue and NPI would have risen by S$3.6 million and S$4.1 million respectively.\n\nMLT is also rejuvenating its portfolio. \n\nIt acquired a logistics park in Mumbai for S$53.2 million and divested six older properties over the year for S$99 million, at an average premium of around 20% to valuation.\n\nOf the three, this is the dividend with the firmest footing. \n\nThe yield is funded by operations that are quietly growing once the one-offs are stripped away.\n\nCapitaLand Ascendas REIT (SGX: A17U)\nAs Singapore’s oldest industrial REIT, CapitaLand Ascendas REIT, or CLAR, has a portfolio of 229 properties spanning business space, life sciences, industrial, data centres and logistics across Singapore, the US, Australia and the UK/Europe. \n\nAUM stood at S$18.6 billion as at 31 March 2026.\n\nCLAR reports revenue, NPI and DPU on a half-yearly basis, so there was no fresh DPU figure for the first quarter. That makes the operational signals the thing to watch, and they are encouraging. \n\nRental reversion came in at +10.6% across the portfolio for leases renewed during the quarter, led by the US at +15.1% and Singapore at +10.5%. Management guided for mid-single-digit rental reversion across FY2026. Occupancy eased slightly to 90.5%, from 91.5% a year ago.\n\nThe balance sheet is moving in the right direction. \n\nAggregate leverage rose to 42.0% as at 31 March 2026 but is expected to ease to around 37.3% after the S$903.5 million equity fund raising completed in April 2026. \n\nThat deleveraging strengthens the REIT, but it comes with a trade-off. The new units issued add to the unit count, and that dilution sits separately from the operational DPU trend. A lower-geared, larger CLAR is a sturdier one, yet existing unitholders are sharing the pie with more units.\n\n\nCLAR has been busy on acquisitions, completing around S$525 million of deals in the quarter and announcing a further S$1.1 billion, including its debut investment in Japan, a 49% stake in a hyperscale data centre in Greater Osaka. \n\nThe reversions and the deal pipeline support the distribution. The freshly issued units are the asterisk.\n\nGenting Singapore (SGX: G13)\nGenting Singapore owns and operates Resorts World Sentosa, one of Asia’s largest integrated resorts, with a casino, Universal Studios Singapore, the Singapore Oceanarium and six hotels. \n\nIt offers the highest yield of the three, and also the most complicated sustainability story.\n\nStart with the dividend. For FY2025, Genting maintained its total payout at S$0.04 per share, an interim of S$0.02 plus a proposed final of S$0.02. Holding the dividend flat sounds reassuring until you look at what happened underneath it.\n\nNet profit fell 32.6% YoY to S$390.3 million, weighed down by ramp-up costs from new launches, temporary closure costs, lower interest income and fair value losses on investments. Adjusted EBITDA declined 15.0% to S$815.8 million. \n\nMore telling for dividend investors, free cash flow more than halved, falling 51.7% to S$211.3 million as capital expenditure surged 36.9% to S$578.7 million to fund the RWS 2.0 transformation.\n\nSo how is the dividend still standing? The balance sheet. \n\nGenting is debt-free and held S$3.2 billion in cash as at 31 December 2025. That war chest is what cushions the payout while free cash flow is squeezed and capex runs high. Management has openly framed FY2025 as a transition year.\n\nThe pressure has not eased. \n\nIn the first quarter of 2026, revenue dipped 3% YoY to S$607.6 million and net profit tumbled a further 55% to S$65.2 million, as gaming revenue fell 8%. Non-gaming revenue rose 8%, helped by stronger visitation to Universal Studios Singapore and the Singapore Oceanarium, and management noted gaming momentum improving towards the end of the quarter. But the group also flagged headwinds from geopolitical tensions feeding into higher costs and softer travel demand.\n\nThe dividend is covered today by an exceptionally strong balance sheet rather than by current earnings. That is a meaningful distinction. It is sustainable for now, but the engine funding it is cash on hand, not cash from this year’s operations.\n\nGet Smart: A 6% Yield Is Not One Thing\nThree stocks, three yields above 6%, three entirely different reasons the dividend keeps coming.\n\nMLT’s is funded by operations that are growing once the one-offs are removed. CLAR’s rests on healthy reversions and a strengthening balance sheet, with freshly issued units the thing to keep an eye on. Genting’s is held up by a S$3.2 billion cash pile while the business works through a heavy investment phase.\n\nThe yield figure is identical-ish across all three. The quality behind it is not. \n\nFree cash flow fuels dividends, and these three sit at very different points along that line. \n\nThe headline number is where you start looking, never where you stop.\n\nMany Singapore stocks fall behind inflation, which means your money quietly loses strength over time. Dividend stocks have a very different track record. Some continued delivering 6% to 13% every year across the toughest market conditions.\n\nIn this FREE report, discover 5 crisis-tested dividend stocks that kept rewarding investors while the market struggled.
