DBS
one of my fav bluechip counters which I have bought and sold some along the way. Banks are the pillars of the economy, thus if investing, bank shares are for serious considerations. Though in recent months, it seems to be capped at 28- 29 range. Hopefully, it breaks out from the 30 mark.
Keppel Corp
After the recent years of diversification, Kep corp is not as dependent on oil as before. It is another good blue chip shares for consideration. The price has come down recently due to the bribery scandal in Brazil involving Keppel Corporation's offshore and marine unit. Still, overall it has transformed itself.
SPH
Not my favourite. Readership is on a constant decline, company struggling, new CEO is from NOL. Look at what happened to NOL eventually. On the other hand, perhaps there is a possibility of privatisation where price is higher than before.
If you are keeping SPH for dividends, why not consider SPH REIT?
ThaiBev
noticed it has come down quite a fair bit. Charts look depressing. mainly due to a lower profit margin of only 8% in the first q of 2018. used to be 10 to 20% for the past several quarters. Thaibev has bought into some Vietnam businesses too. good for investing, picking it at a lower price.
Ezion
delisted
SingPost
quite similar to SPH, but slightly better due to business diversification and adaptation. Good to buy and hold for dividends, unlikely any short term gains.
Silverlake Axis
the previous cofounder has sold his shares and exited the company. He has also started a similar company. So the price of Silverlake has not recovered since. Possible to recover if only there are other positive news as a catalyst.
Sabana Reit
The dividend yield is about 6.5% pa. I don't follow this company closely but in general, it is the only shariah compliant counter for industrial properties.
SingTel
telco industry is facing a 4th foreign player joining the industry; Zero1. It is offering unlimited data plans at the price of only $29.90 monthly, without contracts. The more impressive thing is, it matches SingTel plans.
investing wise, it is good because it is the largest player in the market. with dwindling market share among the players, the biggest market player will still be, the biggest player having the smaller pie. As such, the mentality is always to follow the market leader in hopes of lower risk.
Sembcorp Ind
Market cap is smaller than Keppel Corp. a smaller bluechip for diversification waste management, utilities and marine. though the yield is 2.5%pa, the market cap is about S$5.8n. Keppel Corp is $14b
Ascott Reit
good for investing CPF monies or for a cash investment. Dividend yield approximately 7% per annum. Personally, I like the business as it has hotels and service suits all over the world, creating a rather diversified business.
