SGX Delivers Strongest 1H Net Profit Of S$357.1 Mln, Revenue Up 10.1 Pct

SINGAPORE, Feb 5 (Bernama) -- SGX Group (Singapore Exchange) today posted its strongest half-year result, with net profit rising 11.6 per cent to S$357.1 million during the first half of financial year 2026 ended Dec 31, 2025 (1H FY2026), compared to S$320.1 million (S$1 = RM3.09) recorded in the same preceding period.

Revenue also rose 10.1 per cent to S$636.6 million from S$578 million in the previous financial year, demonstrating the strength of its multi-asset offering in supporting investors amid global market uncertainty.

Chief executive officer Loh Boon Chye said the exchange achieved its strongest half-year performance, driven by sustained growth across its multi-asset business.

“The resilience of our trusted platform has enabled market participants to diversify their investments and manage risk in a challenging global environment.

“We remain confident in delivering medium-term revenue growth of six to eight per cent alongside sustainable shareholder returns,” he said in a statement today.

According to Loh, the Singapore Exchange derivatives franchise recorded a half-year high of 1.35 million contracts in daily average volume, underscoring the strength and relevance of the exchange’s world-class risk-management offering.

“Beyond listed markets, our SGX foreign exchange (FX) business has scaled further, with client acquisition and platform adoption pushing average daily volumes to a new high of US$180 billion,” he said.  

On the home front, Loh highlighted that stock market activity has been robust, supported by forward-looking measures from the Equities Market Review Group.

He added that the daily average traded value (SDAV) of securities rose 20 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) to S$1.51 billion, the highest in five years, driven by a growing initial public offering (IPO) pipeline and retail participation at a four-year high.
