With about 83% of the population fully vaccinated, Singapore is better placed to open the economy further. As of 8 September 2021, the Government will be opening the Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTLs) for selected countries. Currently, the list only includes Brunei and Germany. Since the start of COVID-19, borders’ controls have tightened, and international travels are limited. Depending on where you are travelling to, most countries would require a quarantine period of at least 14 days. Apart from COVID-19 testing, the quarantine period of at least 14 days can be a safeguard to minimise the potential spread of COVID-19. However, this safeguard has been one of the main deterring factors for travellers, especially for tourists. Serving the quarantine is not only inconvenient but can als

With a history dating back to 1966, the Straits Times Index (STI) was originally coined as the Straits Industrial Index. After 30-odd years, the Straits Industrial Index was eventually succeeded by Straits Times Index on 31 August 1998. The reason for changing the index was to allow the index to cover more sectors and properly reflect the daily trading activities of stocks on SGX (or then-Stock Exchange of Singapore). Established by SPH, SGX and FTSE Russell, the index is reviewed on a semi-annual basis. Companies can be removed and added to the index based on their market capitalisation changes. Since STI’s official inception, the index has undergone several changes. The most recent major movement would be the replacement of SPH with Mapletree Industrial Trust on June 2020. Here, we com

COVID-19 has been a giant problem for airline businesses around the world, Singapore Airlines (SIA) notwithstanding. SIA, a national brand and arguably a representative of Singapore’s global image, recently held its AGM. I attended the meeting in the hopes of finding out more nuggets of useful information to evaluate recent performance. I was disappointed. I personally felt that the management could have given a clearer roadmap and timeline of how the airline plans to navigate its way out of the pandemic and eventually return to profitability. SIA’s AGM Responses to Shareholder Questions are available here, as is their presentation. Below, I’ve chosen to go over some of the information and add more colour to the details provided. To management’s credit, keep in mind that the

Singapore blue chip stocks with notable upgrades/downgrades by analysts [end-May 2021] Can we trust analysts’ reports? Throughout the years, we occasionally see analysts flip-flopping between buy and sell calls within several weeks. As investments are highly subjective to one’s view, the difference in perspective is understandable. However, it can lead to controversies as investors argue that there may be a hidden agenda behind them. A recent example would be in March 2021 when the market was hit with fears of higher interest rates. Analysts at JP Morgan issued an “underweight” position on both S-REITs and industrial REI

Reply from SIA to SIAS Questions on MCB Issuance published on 27 May 2021 1. Regarding your intentions to exercise the rights Mandatory Convertible Bond (MCB) issue of S$6.2 billion, in a bid to strengthen the Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group’s financial foundation and secure its industry-leading position, how critical is this issuance for SIA as a Group over the near- and longer-term? The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a global collapse in the demand for air travel and resulted in a significant decline in passenger revenues across all three airlines within the SIA Group. Without a domestic segment, the Group is vulnerable to restrictions on the free movement of people across national borders. During FY2020/21, the Group’s airline passenger traffic (measured in revenue passenger kilometre

All of us are familiar with Singapore Airlines (SIA). As the national carrier of Singapore, SIA is a household name that most of us would have travelled on when we fly overseas. However, unless you, or someone close that you know, are working in SIA, chances are that most of us in Singapore would not have interacted with SIA much over the past 12 months. That said, if you are an investor in SIA (SGX: C6L) shares, then the past year would have been a roller coaster ride. In this edition of 4 Stocks This Week, we take a deviation from our usual feature of 4 stocks and instead, focus on 4 lessons that Singapore investors can learn from investing in SIA shares over the past year. #1 Some Government-Linked Companies Are Indeed Too Big To Fail Some of Singapore’s top companies are owned by sov

On 14 May 2021 (Friday), the Singapore government announced further tightening measures as COVID-19 community cases in Singapore continue rising over the past few weeks. From 16 May 2021 to 13 June 2021, Singapore will go into Phase 2 (Heightened Alert). As written in a DollarsAndSense Business article, these measures take us into a quasi-Phase 1 environment. Similar to Circuit Breaker and Phase 1, dining out will not be allowed, visiting of homes are capped at just two visitors per day while workers are, by default, supposed to work-from-home even though offices are technically still open. Not surprisingly, the financial market in Singapore took a beating due to the announcement. The benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) dropped by about 2.1% on 14 May 2021.
