Shell stock: buyback questions linger after Q4 chemicals warning, shares bounce back

London, Jan 10, 2026, 07:58 GMT — Market closed Shell (SHEL.L) said its Chemicals and Products segment is expected to be below break-even in the fourth quarter, as its indicative chemicals margin drops to $140 a tonne and trading and optimisation falls from the previous quarter. It expects an indicative refining margin of $14 a barrel, kept its production outlook within prior ranges — upstream at 1.84 million to 1.94 million boed (barrels of oil equivalent per day, a combined oil-and-gas measure) and LNG, or liquefied natural gas, liquefaction at 7.5 million to 7.9 million tonnes — and plans to

Wilmar International stock heads into Monday as Indonesia levy talk and food prices reset the lens

Singapore, Jan 10, 2026, 15:47 SGT — Market closed Wilmar International Limited (SGX: F34) shares edged up 0.3% to S$3.11 at Friday’s close, with the Singapore market shut for the weekend and traders recalibrating around fresh policy noise out of Indonesia. (Yahoo Finance) The timing matters. Wilmar sits across the edible oils chain, so policy tweaks that hit palm oil trade can ripple into prices and volumes, then into what the group earns from processing and trading. There is also a softer tone in the broader food inflation picture. Investors are getting a reminder that end-demand can cool even when

BAE Systems share price ends week higher as Trump defence-budget call lifts European defence stocks

London, Jan 10, 2026, 08:04 GMT — Market closed BAE Systems shares ended the week firmer after a sharp two-day run that left the stock close to recent highs. The stock closed at 2,053 pence on Friday, up 1.48%, after rising 5.04% on Thursday. (Yahoo Finance) The move has tracked a wider bid for defence names after U.S. President Donald Trump called for a steep rise in U.S. military spending and floated limits on dividends and share buybacks — when a company repurchases its own stock — unless contractors speed up weapons output. “Geopolitics is the inescapable story of 2026

Sembcorp Industries stock dips as Sprng Energy bid talk resurfaces; Alinta vote nears

Singapore, Jan 10, 2026, 15:29 (SGT) — Market closed Sembcorp Industries Ltd shares (U96.SI) closed at S$5.99 on Friday, down 0.66%, after a media report linked the Singapore-listed utility to a bidding race for Shell’s Indian renewable energy platform Sprng Energy. The stock has now slipped for two straight sessions. (VCCircle) The timing matters. Sembcorp is heading into a shareholder vote window for its planned purchase of Australia’s Alinta Energy — a deal that would be paid in cash and would widen the group’s exposure to regulated power and fuel markets outside Singapore. The Economic Times reported that Sembcorp, U.S.

Genting Singapore stock edges up as Resorts World Sentosa readies POP MART Lunar New Year draw

Singapore, Jan 10, 2026, 15:30 SGT — Market closed Genting Singapore shares (SGX:G13) ended Friday’s session 0.7% higher at S$0.73, fluctuating between S$0.725 and S$0.735 during the day. Resorts World Sentosa, the company’s flagship resort, is set to feature POP MART-themed installations and a pop-up store for Lunar New Year, lifestyle site Shout reports. (Investing.com) The timing is crucial. Chinese New Year in Singapore lands on Feb 17-18, a public holiday stretch when operators battle fiercely for foot traffic, hotel stays, and spending.

Keppel Ltd stock: Feb. 5 results date is set — here’s what traders watch next

SINGAPORE, Jan 10, 2026, 15:26 SGT — Market closed Keppel Ltd will announce its second-half and full-year 2025 results on Feb. 5, putting a clear date on the next catalyst for the Singapore group’s shares. Keppel stock (BN4) ended Friday down 0.7% at S$10.47. (Keppel) That matters now because three Keppel-sponsored REITs — real estate investment trusts, listed vehicles that own income-producing property — report in the days leading up to Keppel’s own numbers, giving investors an earlier read on property cashflows and funding costs. The company said all four releases will be made before the market opens on their

Singapore Airlines stock slips again as oil firms; Feb 24 update looms

Singapore, Jan 10, 2026, 15:22 SGT — Market closed Singapore Airlines Ltd shares slipped 0.46% on Friday to end at S$6.43, extending a mild two-session slide into the weekend. The SGX-listed stock traded between S$6.42 and S$6.47, with about 4.25 million shares changing hands. (Yahoo Finance) That move matters now because crude has jumped again, which can bleed into jet fuel costs and pressure airline margins if fares lag. Brent settled at $63.34 a barrel on Friday, while markets also focused on a U.S. Supreme Court tariff ruling due on Jan. 14 that traders see as a potential volatility trigger.

CDL shares ended flat at S$8.87 on Friday after a sharp run earlier in the week.
