SGX named Southeast Asia’s most valuable exchange brand in 2025

SGX posted its highest-ever net profit of $610m for FY2025.

Singapore Exchange (SGX) has been named Southeast Asia’s most valuable exchange brand in 2025, with a brand value of $798m (US$591m), according to the latest report from Brand Finance.

The annual ranking placed SGX seventh globally by brand value and third in brand strength, with a Brand Strength Index (BSI) score of 87.7 out of 100 and a AAA rating. The valuation marks a 23% YoY increase for SGX.

The Brand Finance report also showed that SGX posted its highest-ever revenue and net profit since listing, with estimated revenue of $1.3b and net profit of $610m for FY2025. Earnings per share rose from 47.1 cents to 49.2 cents, reflecting continued performance growth across core business lines.

SGX’s performance was supported by growth across derivatives, FX, and commodities. The SGX FX platform is now ranked among the world’s top three exchange-backed over-the-counter FX venues, whilst its commodities segment benefited from strong demand in iron ore contracts.

In cash equities, SGX outpaced regional peers in average daily trading value, and the IPO pipeline continues to expand. Over 30 companies are currently preparing to list—one of the strongest pipelines in recent years.

Whilst SGX topped Southeast Asia’s rankings, Nasdaq overtook other competitors to become the world’s most valuable exchange brand, valued at approximately US$3.1b (about $4.2b), with a 33% increase over the previous year.

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. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. 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.
