The US stock indexes such as NASDAQ have been on a downward trend, due to hiking interest rates and rising fears of inflation. This in turn affects the Singapore markets. However, as people sell off stocks they lose confidence in, this allows brokerages to charge commissions and make earnings. Even in troubled times, UOB Kay Hian will keep its value. 5. Upcoming share buyback. UOB Kay Hian intends to renew its share buyback programme at its AGM on 28 April. If approved, the company will begin a buybackprogramme that will increase the value of each stock, from 28 April onwards. Additionally, UOB Kay Hian intends to pay up to 105% of the share price for on market purchases.

It may also choose to make off market purchases with direct offers to shareholders, and in this case, will pay up to 120% of the share price. At its current price of $1.64, shares could bebought back at $1.968 per share after 28 April.
