SINGAPORE (21 Dec 2025) — Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (ST Engineering) stock has become one of the Straits Times Index’s most closely watched names in late 2025, with investors weighing a rare “capital return moment” (special dividend + ongoing buybacks) against headline risks (a U.S. lawsuit involving a subsidiary) and a still-evolving satellite communications (satcom) story.
