Singapore, Feb 8, 2026, 15:37 SGT — The market has closed.
- Shares of iFAST (SGX:AIY) slipped 3.2% to S$9.64 at Friday’s close
- The wealth manager’s full-year results are scheduled for Feb 12.
- Earnings kick off in Singapore on Feb 9; Budget 2026 follows close behind, set for Feb 12.
iFAST Corp slipped 3.2% to finish at S$9.64 on Friday, setting a cautious tone before a packed earnings calendar. The Singapore-based wealth platform operator now carries a market cap near S$2.9 billion. Shares moved between S$9.62 and S$9.90, with about 2.6 million traded. 1
The market is closed for the weekend, so the spotlight’s now on iFAST’s full-year results. Investors will be watching for any signals on client money, activity levels, and costs—those could be the triggers for the stock when trading resumes.
This matters right now: iFAST often reacts sharply to shifts in assets under administration—the sum of client funds it handles—and to how much investors want fee-based financial stocks. If the report lands strong, buyers can pile in fast. A weak showing? That usually weighs hard on the shares.
Broader markets aren’t offering much support. Singapore’s Straits Times Index slipped 0.8% to 4,934.41 on Friday. Local banks kick off earnings Monday, starting with DBS — a setup that tends to send money zigzagging through financials. 2
Jitters on the technical side aren’t going away. This week, market columnist Goola Warden flagged that “technical indicators are somewhat overstretched” with the STI heading close to 5,000—a signal that a portion of investors may be on the hunt for excuses to pull back on risk. 3
DBS Group Research analysts Yeo Kee Yan and Foo Fang Boon remain upbeat on iFAST heading into earnings season, according to the same Edge report. They highlight trustee onboarding for iFAST’s ePension business as a key factor behind AUA growth.
iFAST is set to report its full-year numbers on Feb. 12, according to its investor calendar, leaving just a narrow window for the stock as mid-week approaches. Traders will be watching for net inflows, fee income trends, and any hints around dividends. 4
As ever with a wealth manager, there’s the risk that a sudden market dip curbs client activity just when it hurts most. Or iFAST could see costs outpace revenue if expansion pushes up expenses too quickly.
Macro news may muddy the waters. Singapore plans to announce Budget 2026 on Feb. 12. Bank of America economists anticipate more focus on long-term policy after what they called an unusually “household friendly” 2025 budget. Other analysts predict slimmer cash support this year. 5
iFAST heads into Monday’s SGX open as a financial stock to watch, with positioning likely ahead of Thursday’s results. All eyes turn to Feb. 12: iFAST’s full-year report drops, and Singapore’s budget statement lands later the same day, layering on another macro catalyst.
