Together, the above 10 companies have also exemplified diverse growth strategies, spanning new product/service launches, digital innovation, regional expansion, and major corporate actions:

  • Hong Leong Asia: In August, its subsidiary China Yuchai International announced that joint venture MTU Yuchai Power launched the first batch of MTU Series 2000 engines, enriching its high-power portfolio and supporting long-term growth.
  • UOB-Kay Hian Holdings: Partnered with wealth management technology provider FNZ in May to introduce a new Unit Trust investing digital platform in Singapore.
  • PropNex & Pan-United Corporation: Previous investments in PropNex’s PropTech solutions and Pan United’s AiR Digital platform continued to drive operational efficiency in 2025.
  • SIA Engineering Corporation: Expanded regional footprint with a new joint venture in Cambodia and extended operations in the Philippines and Malaysia in 2025.
  • Banyan Tree Holdings: Continued global expansion and is set to celebrate its 100th property milestone this month with the grand opening of Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree.
  • Centurion Corporation: Spin-off of 14 accommodation assets into CAREIT, Singapore’s second-largest IPO of 2025, while Boustead Singapore: announced plans to divest logistics and industrial assets via a REIT listing. Yangzijiang Financial Holding also unveiled a spin-off of its maritime investments segment for a separate SGX listing.
  • China Sunsine Chemical Holdings: Majority shareholder Success More Group sold 42 million shares for S$27.7 million to institutional and high-net-worth investors.

 

The latter development was announced after the Nov 4 close. China Sunsine Chemical Holdings noted that its majority shareholder, Success More, sold 42 million ordinary shares at S$0.66 per share for a total of S$27.7 million to various institutional and high-net-worth investors through Maybank Securities. Recent months have seen Maybank Securities also involved in multiple share placements. Following the transaction, Success More’s stake in China Sunsine decreased from 61.6% to 57.2%. 

With a 74.3% interest, Success More is controlled by China Sunsine Executive Chairman Xu Cheng Qiu. Mr Xu highlighted that this was Success More’s first strategic sale of China Sunsine shares since the 2007 IPO, aiming to enhance trading liquidity and optimise the shareholding structure while retaining a controlling interest. Success More has also committed to a six-month moratorium on further share sales. Mr Xu maintains it has always been the intention to increase shareholders' value and share the rewards with the shareholders, and the Group will endeavor to step up its efforts to pursue sustainable growth for its continued success.

The transaction booked yesterday has brought China Sunsine ADT in 2025 to S$606k, up from S$80k in 2024. The stock also maintains an ROE of 10.4% and P/E ratio of 7.6x as of the Nov 4 close. In its 1HFY25 (ended June 30), China Sunsine reported a 29% rise in net profit from 1HFY24,  to RMB 242.7 Million, while also setting a new half-yearly sales volume record. Since its April 2007 IPO the stock has generated an 11.6% annualised total return.
