STI recently hit an all-time h

STI recently hit an all-time high near 5,768 (closing) / 5,774 (intraday) in mid-August 2026, now hovering ~5,720–5,736. Banks (DBS, OCBC, UOB; ~57% weight) drove much of the ~24% YTD total return amid strong earnings and wealth inflows. Other majors (e.g., ST Engineering, SGX) also contributed positively.

Further upside is possible if earnings growth (~10–12% expected) continues, rates ease, and Singapore’s economy remains resilient (AI, infrastructure, services). Consensus targets and historical patterns after ATHs support moderate gains, though valuations have tightened and profit-taking occurs.
Market breadth remains narrow—many non-bank STI stocks lag. Mid-caps (e.g., iEdge Next 50) have underperformed STI YTD (~5–8% vs. 24%), despite rising liquidity, institutional inflows, and SGX revitalization efforts. Selective quality mid-caps with earnings visibility could broaden participation over time, but banks will likely dominate near-term moves
