SGX Just Hit a Record Year. UOB Kay Hian Still Won't Say Buy, and Neither Will Our Yield Floor 🦖

🔍 The Angle

SGX can deliver its best year ever and still fail the income test that matters most for a retirement portfolio. I spotted the contradiction in the dividend mix: the S$12.5-cent capital-recycling payout makes the headline increase look stronger, while the ordinary payout tells a much less generous story.

💰 What It Means For You

At S$24.51, the ordinary dividend produces only a 1.82% yield, well below the 3.2% Forensic Floor and 4.7% income hurdle. The balance sheet is strong, with S$1.56 billion in net cash, but that does not change the cashflow available to a fresh income portfolio. Iggy's Forensic Zone: Zone 5, Red Zone.
