To The Moon

🌟🌟🌟$SGX(S68.SI)$  is an absolute high conviction Buy.  Its full year FY2026 earnings report was released yesterday on 6 August 2026 which completely shattered expectations.  The market had feared stagnant equity volumes but the SGX Group delivered a legendary exceptional year, unlocking unprecedented cash flows and sending an undeniable signal that the Singapore market revival is firing on all cylinders.

SGX Record Breaking Results 

All Time High Earnings: Adjusted Net Profit skyrocketed by an incredible 24.6% year on year to SGD 759.5 million.  This is the highest revenue and profit since SGX listed.

The Revenue Surge: Group Net Revenue climbed 13.9% to an all time high of SGD 1.5 billion.  Broad based growth swept through every single operating segment.

The IPO Explosion: After a brutal FY 2025 that saw only 6 listings, 21 new IPOs stormed SGX in FY2026.  This raised a whopping SGD 4.1 billion, a massive leap from the sad SGD 25.7 million raised previously.

The Multi Asset Engine: Cash equities net revenue soared 28.1% while Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities (FICC) branch grew 17% to SGD 376.1 million.

Why SGX is an Absolute Buy Right Now

The Bumper Dividend Surprise: Management didn't just increase the regular quarterly dividend to 11.5 cents.  They used capital recycling gains from dumping loss making subsidiaries to issue a one-off special dividend of 12.5 cents.  This pushes the total FY2026 payout to an astounding 57 cents, a 52% increase.

A Busy IPO Schedule Ahead: CEO Loh Boon Chye revealed a massive listing pipeline of around 50 companies waiting in various stages of readiness to debut on SGX, promises multi year revenue growth.

Trimming the Fat: SGX proactively sold off its loss making index provider subsidiary, Scientific Beta, completely removing a SGD 15 million dragging weight from its balance sheet.

Lock in the Dates and Targets 

The Ex Dividend Countdown: Put a big circle on 30 October 2026.  That is the official Ex Dividend Date for the 12.5 cent special payout.  You need to buy the stock before this date to collect your dividend check on 10 November 2026 payment date.

The Analysts Verdict: Prior to the latest release, consensus SGX target prices tracked an average of SGD 23.96, with top end estimates hitting SGD 26.40.  You can expect a flurry of bullish target upgrades over the coming days as analysts factor in this massive cash generation.

Concluding Thoughts 

Wall Street spent last year treating Singapore like a sleepy financial retirement home but now SGX has shown them that it can shine.

SGX stock recently closed near SGD 24.32.  With a juicy 57 cents total payout heading your way, this isn't just a safe haven.  SGX is an income printing machine.  

Buy it, lock it away and enjoy the payouts before the ex dividend window slams shut in October.
