Singapore, Jan 23, 2026, 15:31 SGT — Regular session.
- In afternoon trading, Genting Singapore shares slipped 0.7% to S$0.725
- Stock underperformed despite STI hitting an intraday high, driven by robust bank gains
- Upcoming triggers to watch: MAS policy statement on Jan 29 and Genting’s full-year results on Feb 24
Shares of Genting Singapore Limited (SGX: G13) slipped 0.7% to S$0.725 by 3:10 p.m. on Friday, after bouncing between S$0.725 and S$0.735 earlier in the session. Trading volume hit 27.7 million shares, outpacing the stock’s one-week average. Its 52-week trading range remains between S$0.660 and S$0.800.
The slip happened even as the Straits Times Index touched an intraday high of 4,895.15 points, buoyed by record gains in major lenders UOB and OCBC. Macquarie analyst Jayden Vantarakis noted in a report that Singapore banks might see a boost from wealth inflows, thanks to the city-state’s reputation as a “safe-haven,” the Business Times said.

Genting Singapore is gearing up to report its full-year results for 2025 on Feb. 24, after the market closes. This comes as Singapore’s core inflation climbed 1.2% in December and the central bank readies a policy announcement scheduled for Jan. 29.
The counter ended Thursday up 0.7% at S$0.73, maintaining its narrow trading range in recent sessions.
Short selling picked up pace in the last session. Roughly 53.8% of the volume traded on Thursday was tagged as short sales—investors borrowing shares to sell now, wagering prices will drop. This activity put Genting Singapore among the SGX’s most shorted stocks by volume ratio, according to data from the exchange’s daily short sell report.
Genting Singapore runs Resorts World Sentosa, one of just two casino resorts in the city-state. Investors usually keep an eye on gaming volume, hotel occupancy, and non-gaming spending for early hints of momentum.
The setup cuts both ways. If visitor spending dips or operating costs rise, margins could come under pressure. Even if revenues stay steady, a sharp increase in resort spending could still cloud the earnings outlook.
Outside Singapore, risk appetite is still unsettled. Asian shares nudged higher following the Bank of Japan’s decision to hold rates steady. Invesco strategist David Chao labeled the BOJ’s stance as “hawkish.” Reuters
Local traders are eyeing the MAS policy statement set for Jan. 29. Then, attention will shift to Genting Singapore’s full-year results on Feb. 24, where management’s comments on demand and costs will be under close scrutiny.
