Singapore’s market has hit new highs this year, putting dividends, valuations, and timing back in the spotlight. This week’s Smart Reads looks at whether the SGX rally marks the start of a broader dividend boom in 2026, which REITs and income stocks could raise payouts next, and whether bank stocks still offer long-term value. We also highlight companies paying special dividends, uncover overlooked income plays yielding more than DBS, and compare SATS with SIA Engineering. Rounding things off are quarterly-paying dividend stocks and US dividend names every Singapore investor should know.
