Everyone’s celebrating SGX’s 52% dividend jump, but I’m looking at the number that matters for your CPF and SRS. Record profit of $759.5 million, yes, but the yield on today’s price still clears less than your Ordinary Account’s 2.5% guarantee. I walk through why this is a structural gap, not a timing issue, and what existing holders should check before assuming this applies to them.
Key takeaways:
Total FY2026 dividend hits 57¢, up from 37.5¢, driven by 11.5¢ final plus 12.5¢ one-off top-up
At $25.20 share price, 57¢ yields about 2.3%, stripping out the one-off leaves roughly 1.8%
CPF Ordinary Account pays 2.5% guaranteed, my forensic floor sits at 3.2%, minimum equity hurdle at 4.7%
Share price jumped 2.8% on the news, but sentiment and forensic pass are two different tests
Existing holders bought years ago at lower entry prices may have healthier yield on cost, fresh capital faces the gap
