3 biggest reasons why SGX is a top pick among analysts

Higher securities revenue is one.

According to Phillip Securities Research,  SGX is among its top picks for the following three reasons.

Here's more:

1) Higher Securities Revenue. Investors are increasingly channeling funds from bonds to equities. Recent Securities Daily Average Values (SDAV) has increased significantly, having been rather weak in recent years. This leads to higher securities revenue for SGX.

2) Derivatives Revenue continues to grow. With the wide product offerings, and having met global regulatory requirements, derivative volumes continue to grow. This has diversified SGX’s previous dependence on Securities Revenue for growth.

3) Strong free cash flow, dividend yields to increase. With the higher revenue from Securities and Derivatives, and low CAPEX requirements, SGX has the ability to increase dividends in the near term.
