2025 proved Singapore's market resilience and evolving breadth, delivering remarkably balanced returns across all capitalizations—from the $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ 's 21% gain to the Fledgling index's 31% surge—while buybacks hit a decade-high at S$2.15 billion and dividends are poised for another record.

This isn't just momentum; it's a fundamental repricing as companies like $DBS(D05.SI)$ , $Singtel 10(Z77.SI)$ , and
Li Auto 3Q25: Soft Quarter but Strategic Reset Sharpens 2026 Trajectory
$Li Auto(LI)$ ’s 3Q25 results came in under pressure as deliveries dropped 39% YoY to 93,211 units due to supply-chain issues, product transition, and the MEGA recall. Revenue fell 36% YoY to RMB27.4bn, and gross margin slipped to 16.3%—or a more resilient 20.4% excluding recall impact.

The team maintains a BUY rating but lowers the price target to $24 (from $28).3Q results showed several underlying positives despite headline softness.

MS's 2026 Outlook: AI Investment Less Than 20% Complete—S&P Target 7,800
$Morgan Stanley(MS)$ Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Michael Wilson's sweeping global outlook has markets buzzing—not just for its aggressive $S&P 500(.SPX)$ target of 7,800 by end-2026, but for framing a new narrative: No recession ahead, yet policy is deploying in a rare pro-cyclical combination. Tech investment is in its super-early stage, yet already reshaping credit markets, corporate earnings, and asset pricing.The report hammers home one key idea: 2026's focus won't be on "macro noise reduction," but on "micro revaluation." In other words, markets are shifting focus from geopolitics, trade, and policy uncertainty—back to earnings, tech cycles, and asset supply/demand fundamentals.Morgan Stanley's M
