A key catalyst has been the launch of the Equity Market Review in 2025. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) set out a comprehensive framework to revitalize the country’s equity capital market, introducing a broad suite of measures aimed at enhancing market vibrancy, liquidity, and investor participation. In 2026, the focus should shift from policy announcement to execution. We identify five themes underpinning Singapore’s equity market outlook for 2026: 1) effective implementation of the EQDP, 2) multiplier effects from the MAS’ capital injection, 3) capital management initiatives, including higher dividends and share buybacks, 4) asset recycling, enabling companies to unlock value and redeploy capital into growth opportunities and improve their returns on equity, and 5) low interest rates, which continue to support risk assets and dividend-yielding equities.
We maintain our Attractive rating on Singapore equities. The market remains a relative safe haven in an environment of elevated geopolitical risk, while ongoing “Value Unlock” initiatives are likely to drive a sustained re-rating of valuations. Although current valuations are above the historical 10-year average price-to- earnings ratio, we believe the market is undergoing a regime shift that justifies structurally higher valuation multiples.
