  • July 2026 Watchlist: Key Singapore Blue-Chip Stocks to Monitor
    June 28, 2026, 8:52 PM EDT. Three Singapore blue-chip stocks-Seatrium, Keppel Ltd, and an unnamed third-are set to report updates in July 2026, with underlying details crucial for investors, especially dividend seekers. Seatrium posted a 24.3% rise in 2025 revenue to S$11.5 billion and more than doubled profits to S$323.6 million. However, its free cash flow, vital for dividends, improved to S$19.7 million but remains tight against a doubled dividend payout. Its order book stands at S$17.8 billion, with management targeting S$32 billion in new deals. Keppel Ltd, pivoting to an asset-light model, saw a 13% rise in asset management fees to S$108 million in Q1 2026 and grew funds under management by S$0.4 billion, despite a slight dip in net profit due to weaker Real Estate segment gains. Investors will watch for cash flow trends and deal conversions closely.
