<div id="readability-page-1">Investing consists of a learning journey where we look at how we can improve our results over time.One way to invest smarter is to look for businesses that are doing well, rather than trying to wait for a hobbled business to post a turnaround.While the latter may deliver a sharp increase in share price, it’s also tougher for companies to post a successful turnaround from losses to profits.Instead, you should focus more of your attention on businesses that are doing well and have a track record of generating consistent profitability.These stocks should also ideally be paying out dividends.Here are five Singapore stocks you can add to your watchlist which are growing their profits.<h2 id="h-valuetronics-holdings-sgx-bn2">Valuetronics Holdings (SGX: BN2)</h2>Valuetronics is an integrated electronics manufacturing services provider offering a full range of services to customers, ranging from conceptualisation to production and supply chain support.The group reported a commendable set of earnings for its fiscal 2025 (FY2025) ending 31 March 2025.Total revenue rose 3.5% year on year to HK$1.73 billion, with gross profit increasing by 10.8% year on year to HK$293.7 million.Net profit improved by 4.3% year on year to HK$166.5 million.A final dividend of HK$0.11 was declared along with a special dividend of HK$0.08.Coupled with the total interim dividend of HK$0.08, the FY2025 dividend totalled HK$0.27.This was higher than the previous year’s HK$0.25.Management expects growth from an entertainment-focused customer in the Consumer Electronics segment.The same segment is phasing out projects in traditional consumer lifestyle to focus on higher-margin projects.As for its Industrial and Commercial Electronics (ICE) segment, the group expects delays to new product launches because of Trump’s recent tariff announcement.<h2 id="h-cortina-holdings-sgx-c41">Cortina Holdings (SGX: C41)</h2>Cortina is a luxury watch retailer with boutiques located in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.The group sells Swiss watch brands such as Chopard, OMEGA, and Bell &amp;
