Share buybacks reach $29.3m for the 3rd week of March: SGX

Down from last year’s $36.8m.

For the third week of the month (16 to 20 March), there were a total of 26,789,044 shares repurchased by 20 stocks with a total consideration of S$29.3 million.

According to a media release by SGX, this was down from the third week of March last year, which saw a total of 4,106,000 shares purchased by 9 stocks with a total consideration of S$36.8 million.

The large amount of total consideration for the same period last year was due to buybacks done by DBS Group Holdings and Singapore Airlines, which are priced above S$15 and S$10 respectively. There were a total of 2,614,000 shares repurchased by the two stocks, with a total consideration of S$36.0 million, in the third week of March 2014.

In the month-to-date, there were a total of 87,334,744 shares repurchased by 30 stocks with a total consideration of S$108.2 million. This is up from a consideration of S$82.6 million in the first three weeks of March last year, and also significantly higher than the total consideration of S$41.9 million in February.

The five stocks with the largest consideration in buybacks month-to-date were Genting Singapore PLC, Singapore Technologies Engineering, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation, DBS Group Holdings and Wing Tai Holdings.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
