2025 is insane β PropNex ($OYY.SI) already +152% YTD with 4.1% dividend yield π€― But the real magic? The boring stocks we bought 8β20 years ago and literally forgot about. Dividends kept dropping into the account tax-free, got reinvested, and snowballed into life-changing money while we slept π΄β¨
Hereβs my personal βNever Sellβ SG hall of fame (all data as of 19 Nov 2025):
π₯ DBS Bank (D05.SI) Held since 2010 (15 years) Turned $30k β $168k today (dividends reinvested) Current yield 5.8% + special dividends every year Literally paid for my condo downpayment in dividends alone π
π₯ UOB (U11.SI) Held since 2013 (12 years) $25k β $112k Yield 5.9% Still trading at only 1.15Γ book value β cheapest big bank in the world right now!
π₯ OCBC (O39.SI) Bought during COVID crash 2020 Already +148% in <6 years + 6.1% yield Wing Hang + Bank of Singapore wealth machine printing money π
π₯ ST Engineering (S63.SI) Held since 2008 (17 years!) $15k β $98k Yield 4.7% + defence contracts locked in for decades Most underrated compounder in Singapore π‘οΈ
π₯ Haw Par Corp (H02.SI) The ultimate βbuy and sleep 30 yearsβ stock Held by my dad since 1996, I inherited & still holding UOB stake inside + Tiger Balm cash cow Zero debt, 4.2% yield, trading below liquidation value Warren Buffett would cream his pants over this one π
Honourable mentions that almost made the list: β’ SGX (S68.SI) β monopoly printing money β’ Sheng Siong β recession-proof dividends + growth β’ CapitaLand Ascendas REIT β monthly payouts forever
Compounding in Singapore is cheating: Tax-free dividends β No capital gains tax β World-class companies β Lower volatility than US tech β
My $150k portfolio today throws off ~$7800 cash dividends every year β completely passive, zero work, pays for family vacations + parentsβ expenses β€οΈ
Drop your longest-held SG stock below! ππ₯ How many years have you held it? Dividends only or total return gangster? Are you a 10-year+ holder or still paper-handing?
