By FY2025, that had jumped to S$0.25. Driving this is the company’s shift towards more reliable earnings from renewables.Sembcorp’s scale and reach give it an advantage, so it can keep cash flowing even when the market isn’t so friendly.CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (SGX: C38U), or CICT – The Growth CompounderCICT stands out as a long-term earnings growth engine as it has steadily expanded, while also ensuring future growth through acquisitions, asset enhancements, and redevelopment projects.The trust’s distribution per unit (DPU) has continued to climb, rising 6.4% year on year (YoY) to S$0.1158 in FY2025.The REIT delivered steady top-line growth, with FY2025 gross revenue increasing 2.1% YoY to S$1.62 billion.Notably, earnings expanded at a much faster pace than revenue – distributable income surged 14.4% from the previous year to reach S$860.9 million.The earnings are also expected to keep growing, with ongoing asset enhancement initiatives at properties such as Capital Tower, Tampines Mall and Lot One Shoppers’ Mall.CICT’s sustained performance supports both rising income and long-term capital appreciation.Keppel Ltd (SGX: BN4) – The Defensive AnchorTo many investors, Keppel remains a sturdy, defensive pick largely because it has shed its past dependence on oil.It has repositioned itself as a global asset manager, focusing on income streams from infrastructure, real assets, and fund management.The shift is beginning to bear fruit. In FY2025, net profit from the ‘New Keppel’ core business rose 39% YoY to S$1.1 billion, driven by stronger contributions from its asset management and operating platforms. Recurring income also climbed 21% to S$941 million.As earnings stabilised, dividends followed suit. Keppel lifted its total distribution for FY2025 to S$0.47 per share, up 38% from the previous year. With its transformation largely in place, Keppel is now better positioned to deliver consistent income even through periods of market volatility.Why “Permanent” Doesn’t Mean Ignoring the Stock“Permanent” in investing is often associated with a “buy-and-hold” strategy.While it refers to a long-term mindset, it certainly does not mean ignoring the stock. Turning a blind eye to your holdings can turn temporary volatility into permanent capital loss if business fundamentals change.Valuation discipline remains critical when going for investment returns, especially when market sentiment begins to overshadow balance sheet health.If you plan to hold stocks over the long haul, it helps to keep a close eye on the company’s performance and key metrics.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"BN4.SI":1.9,"C38U.SI":1.91,"O39.SI":1.93,"U96.SI":1.92}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":16,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":27,"optionInvolvedFlag":false,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"hasMoreComment":false,"orderType":2}
