description: "UOB-Kay Hian reported a 66.2% surge in 1H FY26 net profit to SGD 164.95 million, driven by a 41.8% revenue increase to SGD 481.08 million, largely from higher commission and trading income. Despite rising finance and staff costs, the group increased its stake in UOBKH Thailand to 99.84% and delisted the unit. The outlook remains supportive over 12 months, though risks persist regarding US rates, AI investment sustainability, and geopolitics."
