SGX warned of downside risks despite posting highest revenue: analyst

In the current fiscal year, the bourse posted $1.099b revenue.

There could be risks for Singapore Exchange (SGX) despite its highest revenue registered since its listing, with $1.099b in June 2022 results, higher by 4% year-on-year.

RHB said downside risks include higher-than-guided operating costs next year and slower revenue contributions from acquisitions.

“[SGX] results did not yield any major surprises. Management is guiding for a 7% to 9% increase in expenses and higher-than-normal capex for fiscal year 2023,” it said in a brokerage report.

RHB also pointed out that whilst the bourse’s derivatives daily average volume will be higher, next year’s securities daily average value (SDAV) will still be muted.

On the upside, SGX’s possible gains will include higher-than-estimated SDAV from exchange traded funds, REITs, and special purpose acquisition company listings.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers.

The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
