Small mid caps still a steep 20% behind large cap stocks

This is despite the fact that Singapore is two years into the recovery from the global financial crisis, said DBS Vickers.

However, according to their analysis, interest in small cap stocks has picked up again since the market turnaround on March 18.

DBS Vickers believes SMCs should re-rate especially given stronger earnings growth potential of 18% for FY11F and 19% for FY12F compared to 11% in FY10A. More importantly, SMC's expected growth of 18% in FY11F exceeds 7% of growth for large caps.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
