STI poised to maintain year-end target at 4,430

An oversold market breadth sets the market for a potential year-end rally.

The Singapore Times Index is poised to maintain its year-end target of 4,430, underpinned by MAS equity market support measures and attractive forward dividend yield, according to a DBS report.

The report also said that an oversold market breadth sets the market for a potential year-end rally, with small-mid-caps (SMCs) to benefit from further MAS support measures.

“Any positive progress in US-China trade talks before the 10 November deadline could catalyse regional market rallies,” DBS said.

Moreover, an eventful fourth quarter awaits small-mid-cap stocks, with the recent pullback in SMCs presenting an opportunity to add ahead of anticipated Q4 momentum.

“We find value plays beyond simply low-valuation stocks, focusing instead on stocks with value-unlocking potential, quality stocks with low visibility, and those with scope to improve returns through active capital management,” DBS added.

Further, industrial and tech names anticipated to deliver growth rates above the sector average include SIA Eng, SATS, Yangzijiang, and Seatrium.

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.
