  • Keppel Shares Rise on S$600 Million Contract Wins Ahead of Feb 5 Earnings
    February 4, 2026, 2:36 PM EST. Keppel Ltd's shares ticked up 0.46% to S$10.94 after its infrastructure arm secured about S$600 million in new contracts spanning proprietary technology, engineering, and facility services. These awards push its decarbonisation and sustainability backlog beyond S$7.1 billion, with revenues anticipated over the next 10-15 years. The company is due to release full-year 2025 results on Feb 5, with investors focusing on contract outlook and recurring service income growth. Noteworthy recent deals include Singapore's first fully integrated chilled-water thermal grid and expansion of cooling-as-a-service in Asia. While contract wins indicate future revenue, near-term profits may not immediately reflect these gains due to project timelines and margins. Market attention will center on any earnings guidance changes or dividend adjustments in the upcoming report.
