Singtel Stock (SGX: Z74) Outlook on Dec 20, 2025: Dividend Momentum, Data Centre Upside, and Optus Risk in Focus

Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel) has spent 2025 giving investors a very “telecom-utility-meets-digital-infrastructure” storyline: steadier core earnings, bigger dividends, and a widening exposure to data centres—while its Australian unit Optus keeps generating headlines for all the wrong reasons. As of Dec 20, 2025 (a Saturday, when SGX is closed), Singtel stock is being priced as a hybrid: a regional telco with meaningful stakes in fast-growing associates and a growing digital infrastructure platform, but still carrying Optus execution and regulatory overhang.

But the most market-moving storyline right now isn’t just “rates up, rates down.” It’s a mix of big-ticket capital returns, wealth and fee momentum, and a fresh strategic win in renminbi (RMB) infrastructure that could broaden DBS’s role in Asia’s cross-border money plumbing. DBS shares last closed at S$54.87 on Dec 19 (Singapore market was shut on Dec 20), leaving the stock just off its 52-week high of S$56.00 set earlier this

OCBC shares opened at a new high of S$19.69 on Dec 19 and closed at S$19.55, according to local market reporting. The Straits Times While the broader banking narrative across Asia remains complicated by rate-cycle uncertainty and patchy credit conditions, OCBC’s recent momentum reflects a more specific mix: rising wealth-management contributions, ongoing capital-return expectations, and
