Singapore, Jan 29, 2026, 15:12 SGT — Regular session
- Shares of CapitaLand Investment crept up in afternoon trading after investors reviewed a filing on a directors’ share award.
- Singapore’s central bank kept policy unchanged but adopted a noticeably hawkish tone.
- Attention shifts to a series of earnings reports from CapitaLand-managed trusts ahead of CLI’s full-year results release.
Shares of CapitaLand Investment Limited (SGX:9CI) climbed 1.0% to close at S$3.09 on Thursday, fluctuating between S$3.06 and S$3.10 during the session. Approximately 7.4 million shares exchanged hands. 1
The shift refocused attention on capital management and governance as the group faces a busy slate of earnings reports. Macro headlines also took center stage, hitting rate-sensitive property stocks especially hard.
Singapore’s central bank held monetary policy steady on Thursday but signaled rising risks to growth and inflation. Selena Ling, an economist at OCBC, described the tone as “a tad more hawkish and less dovish.” Meanwhile, Maybank’s Chua Hak Bin noted “simmering inflation pressures emerging.” 2
CapitaLand Investment handed out 317,809 share awards to its non-executive directors under the Restricted Share Plan, immediately vesting them by transferring treasury shares — those held after buybacks — as payment for directors’ fees for the year ending Dec. 31, 2025. The company valued this transfer at S$957,157.70, referencing a “last done” price of S$3.06 on the grant date. The awards were sized using a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of S$2.543, calculated over 14 trading days from the ex-dividend date after the April 29, 2025 AGM. 3
A company notice revealed CapitaLand Investment will publish its unaudited full-year results on Feb. 11 before markets open. CapitaLand Ascott Trust is set to report after the close on Thursday, with other trusts releasing updates in early February. 4
Traders usually track fundraising momentum, asset values, and deployment speed at firms like CapitaLand Investment, since fees and investment income fluctuate with market moves. Upcoming updates will reveal whether recent share gains stem from broader macro trends or factors unique to the company.
That said, the setup works both ways. Should bond yields climb or markets brace for tougher policy down the line, real estate stocks sensitive to rates could slide fast, and trading volume may evaporate.
Over the last 52 weeks, CapitaLand Investment’s share price has fluctuated from S$2.37 to S$3.11, with the stock currently sitting close to that upper limit. 5
CapitaLand Ascott Trust’s after-market results drop Thursday, setting the stage for CapitaLand Investment’s full-year report on Feb. 11.
