In a market update on Dec 4, SGX Group shared insights on the 30 most traded stocks outside the Straits Times Index (STI) in the second half of 2025 up to Dec 3. Seven real estate investment trusts (Reits) maintain the strongest presence among the 30 most traded stocks outside the STI.With a combined market capitalisation of $19.5 billion, the seven are NTT DC Reit, Centurion Accommodation Reit (CAREIT), Suntec Reit, Keppel Reit, CapitaLand Ascott Trust, Lendlease Global Commercial Reit and Parkway Life Reit. Some $34 million of the $214 million average daily turnover for the 30 counters was chalked up by debutants NTT DC Reit, CAREIT and maritime investment manager Yangzijiang Maritime, said SGX Group.“(For) the 2025 year to Dec 3, these next most traded 30 stocks have kept pace with the STI, with a 25 per cent median total return.”The technology sector saw the next largest combined average daily turnover after the S-Reits, with five stocks posting $44.4 million in the second half of 2025 up to Dec 3, up 2.4 times from $18.8 million in the first half. The trio of CSE Global, iFAST Corporation and Frencken Group also booked the highest net institutional inflow proportionate to market capitalisation among the next 30 stocks by average daily turnover in the same period, SGX Group said.Meanwhile, Manulife US Reit, which focuses purely on US offices, is seeking unitholder approval to expand its investment mandate into industrial, accommodation, housing and retail assets in the US and Canada.The move comes amid a muted outlook for the US office sector. To allow the proposed shift, the Reit manager is also seeking approval to sell up to three existing properties for aggregate net proceeds of up to US$350 million, as well as for investments in the new asset classes.An extraordinary general meeting is to be held on Dec 16 with two resolutions for unitholders’ approval on the agenda: to expand the investment mandate, and for the sale of properties and investments into the new classes.Both resolutions must be passed together. If one resolution fails, the other will not proceed.On the banking front, OCBC reached a new intra-day high of $19 on Dec 4. The counter closed the week at $18.92. With OCBC’s fine performance in the wealth business, analysts have indicated the strong potential for upside at a more moderate valuation, setting it apart from its rivals UOB and DBS.They raised concerns over UOB’s asset quality following its earnings miss for the third quarter ended Sept 30, while DBS’ meteoric rise in share price means it is trading at a significantly higher price multiple.On the small-cap front, Marco Polo Marine outperformed expectations in its results for the financial year ended Sept 30, 2025, released on Nov 29. The offshore and marine group reported core earnings of $28 million, up 30 per cent year on year.The results follow news of the group clinching its largest shipbuilding contract, from Taiwan’s National Academy of Marine Research for a 4,000 gross tonne oceanographic research vessel. While revenue dipped slightly, better-than-expected gross and operating margins on the back of improved charter rates led to the strong earnings, said RHB analyst Alfie Yeo in a Dec 1 research note.He also raised the target price to 14 cents and earnings forecasts by 15 per cent for the 2026 financial year, and 13 per cent for the 2027 financial year.However, he added that this new forecast “is premised on a higher fleet size, improved charter rates, stronger utilisation rates, and the recent shipbuilding contract coming through”. The delisting of precision manufacturer Broadway Industrial Group from the SGX mainboard has been set in motion with a proposed selective capital reduction announced on Dec 5.The exercise entails cancelling 17,265,407 shares held by shareholders other than the controlling shareholders, at an exit offer price of 26.2 cents per share.This translates to a sum of about $4.52 million set aside for return to the shareholders, the company said in a bourse filing.Earlier in the week, on Dec 1, the majority shareholders of Low Keng Huat (Singapore) launched a voluntary conditional general offer to take the mainboard-listed construction and property developer private at 72 cents per share. The formal offer document will be sent to shareholders between 14 and 21 days from the announcement date of Nov 28, so the earliest they may receive this would be on Dec 12.Turning to the US, the Federal Reserve will hold its last of eight scheduled meetings of the year from Dec 9 to 10.Market watchers have indicated a likely quarter percentage-point rate cut in the policy statement, which is expected to be delivered in the wee hours of Dec 11, Singapore time.</div></div>
