Novanta's consensus target price is $194.00, implying a 30.76% upside, while Venture has no institutional ownership. Novanta's strong institutional backing suggests better long-term growth potential.The Business TimesStocks to watch: UOB, OCBC, StarHub, SGX, Yangzijiang Shipbuilding, Venture, JustCoSeveral companies, including UOB, OCBC, StarHub, and others, reported their financial results for the recent quarter, with UOB posting a net profit of S$1.48 billion, up 10% year-on-year. OCBC's net profit increased 22% to S$2.22 billion, while Yangzijiang Shipbuilding saw a 28.4% rise in net profit to 5.4 billion yuan. Overall, the announcements reflect a robust performance for several firms within Singapore's financial and technological sectors.The Business TimesVenture Q2 net profit up 10.3% at S$63 million, increases interim dividendVenture Corp reported a 10.3% rise in Q2 net profit to S$63 million, with revenue increasing 12.5% year on year to S$726.2 million, driven by strong growth in its technology-focused portfolio including test and measurement instrumentation, networking and communications, and semiconductor equipment supporting AI infrastructure. The company raised its interim dividend by 20% to S$0.30 per share, while maintaining a net cash position of S$1.1 billion with zero debt. Performance in the life sciences, medtech, and lifestyle consumer segments declined 8.5% year on year to S$227 million due to lower volumes from a key lifestyle consumer customer.The Business TimesDBS Research and UOBKH eye Singtel, Venture as top picks for JuneDBS Group Research and UOB Kay Hian (UOBKH) released their June stock pick updates, with both brokerages adding positions in Singtel, Venture Corporation, and Riverstone Holdings among their top selections. DBS cited Singtel's 18% pullback from its March peak as an opportunity to add ahead of anticipated catalysts from India's tariff hikes and Jio's near-term prospectus filing, while UOBKH pointed to early signs of an AI-driven revenue recovery cycle for Venture. The brokerages also trimmed or removed positions in NTT DC Reit, UMS Integration, and Suntec Reit, with UOBKH's Alpha Picks portfolio outperforming the Straits Times Index in May, returning 3.3% on a price-weighted basis versus the index's 2.5% gain.The Business TimesWorld Cup lull could be investors’ chance to score SGX stocks: DBSDBS analysts have identified the upcoming FIFA World Cup (June 11 to July 19, 2026) as a tactical opportunity for investors to accumulate Singapore stocks at attractive levels, noting that trading activity on the Singapore Exchange has historically weakened during past tournaments, with share values declining by 5-48% during five World Cup cycles between 2002 and 2018. The brokerage recommends building positions in blue-chip dividend-paying stocks such as OCBC, Singtel, and Venture ahead of a potential post-World Cup rebound in July, while also favouring selected large-cap S-REITs including CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust, CapitaLand Ascendas Reit, and Mapletree Logistics Trust. DBS has maintained its year-end STI target at 5,250 with a base-case probability of 50%, citing Singapore's safe-haven appeal, resilient sector growth, and potential easing of Middle East tensions as supporting factors.The Business TimesSats, Venture are top STI performers in record-setting MayThe Singapore Straits Times Index (STI) experienced record-setting growth in May, with Sats and Venture leading the gains. The index's rise was supported by a resilient macroeconomic environment, boosting the performance of major stocks and sectors.The Business TimesSingapore stocks end flattish amid mixed regional showing; STI up 0.02%Singapore's benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) closed virtually flat on Thursday (May 21), gaining just 0.02% to finish at 5,045.71, with the broader market seeing 315 gainers versus 285 losers. Venture Corporation led blue-chip gainers with a 2.5% rise to S$17.65, while Singtel was the worst performer among STI constituents, falling 6.4% despite reporting a 20.9% year-on-year decline in net profit for the six months ended March 31. The three local banks—DBS, OCBC, and UOB—all ended the session higher, and regional markets showed mixed performance with Japan's Nikkei and South Korea's Kospi up while Hong Kong's Hang Seng and Malaysia's KLCI declined.The Business TimesSingapore stocks end lower on Friday; STI down 0.1%Singapore's Straits Times Index (STI) declined 0.1% (6.86 points) to close at 4,989.08 on Friday, May 15, 2026, as gainers were outnumbered by losers 224 to 431 in broader market trading of 2.3 billion securities worth S$2.5 billion. Singapore Airlines led STI gainers with a 2.4% rise while Venture Corporation was the worst performer, falling 3.1%. Regional markets also ended lower, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng down 1.6%, Japan's Nikkei 225 down 2%, and South Korea's Kospi down 6.1%.The Smart InvestorThe “Semiconductor Cycle”: Is It Time to Buy AEM and Venture Corp Again?The article discusses the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and examines the current position in the cycle with signs of demand stabilization. It evaluates two companies, AEM Holdings and Venture Corporation, as potential investment options based on recent financial performance, strategic positioning, and valuation.YahooThe “Semiconductor Cycle”: Is It Time to Buy AEM and Venture Corp Again?Intel's recent earnings beat and optimistic chip demand forecast have renewed investor focus on Singapore-listed semiconductor stocks AEM Holdings and Venture Corporation as potential buy opportunities. The article explains the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and compares the two companies, noting that AEM offers a purer play on the sector through its semiconductor testing solutions, though it carries customer concentration risk with Intel. While AI-related chip demand remains strong and industry leaders like Texas Instruments confirm robust demand, the article cautions that Middle East conflict and potential consumer spending weakness from higher inflation could weigh on the sector.
