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

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

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

Hongkong Land stock jumps on fresh buyback filing — $7.77 is the level to watch

Hongkong Land stock jumps on fresh buyback filing — $7.77 is the level to watch

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. This is part of a wider effort to streamline listings and boost their appeal. (Reuters)

ST Engineering stock near S$9: buyback rules, defence headlines and Feb results in focus

Singapore, Jan 11, 2026, 15:06 SGT — Market closed Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd closed on Friday at S$8.97, down 0.33%, after trading between S$8.83 and S$9.01. The stock is up about 6.5% from its Dec. 31 close and sits near the top end of its 52-week range of S$4.59 to S$9.07, Investing.com data showed. Chart watchers often treat Friday’s S$9.01 high as “resistance” — a level that can cap rallies — and S$8.83 as “support”, where buyers tend to step in. (Investing.com) The move itself was modest, but it keeps ST Engineering in focus as investors line up the next

Singtel stock faces Monday test as Optus outage log updates and U.S. CPI looms

SINGAPORE, Jan 11, 2026, 15:09 SGT — Market closed Shares of Singapore Telecommunications Ltd slipped 0.2% on Friday, closing at S$4.46, down by 1 cent. Over the weekend, its Australian arm Optus reported new local outages on its national register, notably a disruption lasting over five hours in South Australia’s Kangaroo Island region. (Yahoo Finance) This hits Singtel at a sensitive time, with Optus scrambling to regain customer trust following several network failures. Regulators are stepping up scrutiny, pushing for stricter safeguards. A recent review of Optus’ emergency-call outage in September uncovered critical protocol flaws and proposed 21 recommendations, all

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

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

OCBC stock slips on JPMorgan downgrade as Feb. 25 results loom

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. DBS and United Overseas Bank ended higher on the day. (The Business Times) The call matters because OCBC goes into full-year results season trading near recent peaks, with little room left for soft guidance. The bank is scheduled to announce its 2025 full-year results on Feb. 25, a key read for dividends and buybacks and for how quickly earnings

CapitaLand Investment stock rises to S$2.89 as logistics push sharpens focus on Feb 11 results

CapitaLand Investment stock rises to S$2.89 as logistics push sharpens focus on Feb 11 results

Singapore, Jan 11, 2026, 15:06 (SGT) — Market closed Shares of CapitaLand Investment Limited climbed 1.8% on Friday, ending the session at S$2.89, giving the SGX-listed stock some momentum heading into the weekend. (TradingView) This shift is significant as investors increasingly see CLI less as a landlord and more as a steward of others’ capital. Fees linked to assets under management, or FUM, tend to be steadier than property gains, which fluctuate with market swings. CLI reported S$120 billion in FUM as of Nov. 5 and announced a minority stake in Ally Logistic Property, a smart warehouse developer. The CapitaLand

DBS stock set for Monday spotlight after risk-transfer report; Feb 9 earnings next

Singapore, Jan 11, 2026, 15:09 SGT — Market closed DBS Group Holdings Ltd (SGX: D05) is considering a move into major risk transfer deals, according to a report in The Straits Times on Friday. The paper referenced Standard Chartered’s $1.5 billion trade-finance transaction set for 2025 and Man Group’s projection that the market could double within five years. Shares of DBS closed at S$57.60, up 0.26 Singapore dollars, or 0.45%. The report noted DBS has held initial talks with funds investing in SRTs—transactions designed to offload part of loan-default risk to investors, often through credit-linked notes.

DroneShield shares in focus after JPMorgan flags 5% stake — what ASX:DRO traders watch next

DroneShield shares in focus after JPMorgan flags 5% stake — what ASX:DRO traders watch next

Sydney, Jan 11, 2026, 17:23 AEDT — Market closed DroneShield (DRO.AX) heads into Monday’s ASX open with a new ownership disclosure after a filing showed JPMorgan Chase & Co and its affiliates crossed the 5% threshold in the counter-drone company. The move matters now because DroneShield has turned into a fast, flow-driven trade, and changes around big holders can move the stock even when there is no new contract headline. In Australia, a “substantial holder” is an investor with 5% or more of voting shares, which triggers disclosure. It also lands as investors look for a cleaner read on who

Westpac stock in focus: bushfire relief plan drops ahead of Monday trade

SYDNEY, Jan 11, 2026, 17:20 AEDT — Market closed Westpac Banking Corp announced plans to provide payment deferrals and additional assistance to customers hit by the Victoria bushfires, creating a fresh sentiment test ahead of its stock’s return to trading on Monday. The bank’s shares closed Friday at A$37.90, slipping 0.29%. Why it matters now: relief programs often reveal where pressure is mounting, with banks usually receiving the earliest real-time alerts via hardship calls and repayment pauses. Investors keep a close eye on any ripple effects in arrears — late payments — and the expenses tied to supporting struggling customers.

Aristocrat Leisure (ASX:ALL) stock: $1.5 billion buyback extension in focus ahead of Monday trade

Sydney, January 11, 2026, 17:24 AEDT — Market closed Aristocrat Leisure Ltd shares closed Friday 1.0% higher at A$57.22 following the company’s decision to extend its on-market share buyback. This development is expected to draw attention when Australian markets open Monday. (Stocks Down Under) For investors, the takeaway is straightforward: a bigger buyback pumps additional demand into the stock. When a company conducts an on-market buyback, it purchases its own shares on the exchange, gradually reducing the number of shares outstanding. The question resurfacing this year is familiar: how aggressively will companies prioritize cash returns while growth investments remain an
