Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd bounced 2.5% to S$3.24 as of 3:08 p.m. in Singapore, recouping a slice of last week’s steep losses. 1
The stock clawed back some ground after Friday’s sharp 6.23% slide, which closed it at S$3.16. That left investors watching closely for any signal that the recent drop may be bottoming out. 2
Yangzijiang, the Singapore-listed shipbuilder with its own shipping business, often moves in step with investor risk appetite tied to global trade and industrial demand. 3
Shares moved in a narrow S$3.21 to S$3.26 range on Monday. Volume landed around 14.0 million, matching the three-month average, Investing.com data showed. 4

Stocks in Asia jumped, buoyed by Japan’s election outcome and a turnaround in U.S. chip stocks late in the week, according to a Reuters report. “The victory gives Takaichi a stable majority, enabling decisive action on fiscal stimulus,” said Marc Jocum, senior investment strategist at Global X ETFs Australia. 6
Next up for Yangzijiang: earnings. The company is set to report on March 4, according to Investing.com’s calendar. 7
Investors are zeroed in on updates about new orders, delivery schedules, and margins. The question: is the order backlog—that pile of contracted ship work not yet delivered—still solid as 2026 approaches?
Still, volatility remains. A whiff of softer global trade, tighter customer budgets, or rising input costs—any of it could rattle sentiment fast, regardless of what’s happening in the wider market.
Focus turns to the S$3.20 mark as results loom on March 4, with traders watching both the stock and the macro news that tends to rattle cyclical names.
