The Investing Iguana

🦎 Daily Pulse: SGX Digest — February 24, 2026 | 🦖EP1445 #investingiguana

I have been watching the STI creep toward the 5,000 level all week with a growing sense of unease. While the broader market seems to be popping champagne over this psychological milestone, I have been staring at my bank dividend spreadsheets and seeing a very different story.

The headlines are celebrating a new era of growth for Singapore. However, the underlying math shows our primary dividend engines are actually starting to sputter. We are seeing structural margin compression and actual dividend cuts at giants like UOB and Great Eastern that the "Buy" ratings are conveniently glossing over.

If you are relying on your SRS or bank dividends to fund your monthly expenses, this is the time for a cold-blooded stress test. You need to know if your yield spread still clears your sleep-at-night hurdle before the easy phase of this cycle ends.

I am not selling my fortress, but I am certainly not chasing this retail euphoria. Joining other Elite members in this forensic review will help you see the floors that actually matter.
