Yangzijiang Shipbuilding stock back on watchlists after institutional inflows; earnings next in March

Singapore, Jan 11, 2026, 15:25 SGT — Market closed Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd was among the Singapore stocks that drew the largest net institutional inflows in the first five trading sessions of 2026, a Business Times review showed, as funds turned net buyers to start the year. The list also included City Developments, OCBC, Hongkong Land, CapitaLand Investment, Singapore Exchange, ST Engineering, Sats, Venture Corp and UOL, the report said. (The Business Times) That matters because early-year fund flows often set the tone for the next leg of trading in Singapore, especially in liquid index names. When institutions lean the

SGX stock in focus after Nasdaq dual-listing rule push, December volumes — what’s next

Singapore, Jan 11, 2026, 15:20 SGT — Market closed Singapore Exchange Ltd (SGXL.SI) shares closed up 1.2% on Friday at S$17.51, as new consultations tied to a planned Nasdaq dual-listing route kept the exchange operator in focus. The stock traded between S$17.20 and S$17.53 and about 2.0 million shares changed hands. (StockAnalysis) The policy push matters because SGX’s revenue is closely linked to listings and trading activity. A lift in liquidity can show up quickly in fees, while a deeper IPO pipeline tends to play out over quarters, not days. The Nasdaq tie-up is meant to cut cost and complexity

HONG KONG, Jan 11, 2026, 15:18 HKT — Market closed Shares of Hongkong Land Holdings Limited (H78.SI) climbed 3.2% to close at $7.73 on Friday, pushing gains further after the company announced another share buyback. Since the start of the year, the stock has rallied roughly 11%. (MarketScreener Hong Kong) This development is significant as buybacks are gaining renewed attention among Singapore-listed companies. On Friday, the Monetary Authority of Singapore launched a consultation on legal reforms that would introduce “safe harbour” rules for share buybacks.

UOB stock in focus after fresh buyback filing as rate bets return to the fore

SINGAPORE, Jan 11, 2026, 15:05 (SGT) — Market closed United Overseas Bank (UOB) repurchased and cancelled 38,000 shares on Friday, according to a filing with the Singapore Exchange. The bank paid between S$36.01 and S$36.21 per share, shelling out roughly S$1.37 million. This continues a steady pace of buybacks as the year unfolds. (SGX Links) This matters because bank investors have been focusing on capital returns—dividends and buybacks—while anticipating the next move in interest rates. UOB’s buybacks may be modest on a daily basis, but they reinforce the idea that shrinking share counts can help boost earnings per share when

Singapore, Jan 11, 2026, 15:04 SGT — Market closed Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) shares fell 1.8% on Friday to close at S$19.80 after JPMorgan cut its rating on the lender to “neutral” from “overweight”, while lifting its target price to S$20.50.
