Top Stories Strategy | Yield-ing to temptation: Yields over bonds With bond yields trending lower, dividend equities yielding 4% to 6% look compelling relative to the 10-year Singapore Government Bond, with sustainable payouts supported by strong cashflow, low gearing, and resilient balance sheets. Our top 10 non-bank, non-REIT picks include BRC, BAL, CSSC, CIVMEC, CD, DFI, GENS, VALUE, VMS, and WKS. We maintain our end-2025 STI target at 4,602, implying around 8% upside, underpinned by undem...

Singapore Market Strategy - Yield-ing To Temptation: Yields Over Bonds
Attractive yield differentials. With Singapore government bond yields trending lower, the yield differential between fixed income and equities has narrowed in 2025, thus reinforcing the relative appeal of companies offering high, sustainable dividend payouts. Equity yields in the 4-6% range now offer a compelling pickup versus the 10-year Singapore Government Bond yield (1.8579% as at 4 Sep 25), while also providing potential for capital gains. In our view, this widening yield gap should support...

Tech Manufacturers: Picking Three Tech Winners Of MAS' EQDP; Top BUYs:...
Tech manufacturing stocks with good earnings growth visibility and positive catalysts should continue to see valuation re-rating as the valuation gap of 35-40% vs Malaysian peers remains wide. Our top picks are Frencken (target price: S$2.08) and UMS (target price: S$1.73) given their positive outlook of sequential earnings growth from their semiconductor customers. We also like VALUE for its attractive valuation and renewed growth profile from new customers. Maintain OVERWEIGHT on the sector.

The number of privatisation offers remains elevated, at 15 companies ytd vs 18 in 2024. We did a screening of companies with high net cash as a % of market cap to identify potential privatisation targets and deep value stocks. Stocks we like under our coverage are China Sunsine (1.7x 2025F ex-cash PE, 5.3% yield) and Valuetronics (3.7x 2025F excash PE, 6.3% yield). Screening results we like to highlight: Avarga (75% net cash to market cap), Samudera Shipping (71%) and CH offshore (56%).
