🇸🇬 Singapore Stocks: The Edge Billion Dollar Club 2025 Award Winners
Singapore listed stocks who won the following metric categories by sector: growth in profit after tax, returns to shareholders, weighted return on equity & overall sector winner (+DeepSeek Analysis).
Since 2017, The Edge Singapore Billion Dollar Club (sponsored by local business newspaper The Edge Singapore) has become “one of the most prestigious events” in the region focused on “recognizing and celebrating excellence” among companies listed on the Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX: S68 / FRA: SOU / SOUU / OTCMKTS: SPXCF / SPXCY) with the most recent event being held back in early November.
Once again, I realize these sorts of award events are often paid-for and sponsored corporate PR events that don’t mean much. However, this one is a little different as it recognizes Singapore-listed companies (some winners are based elsewhere or operate regionally or globally, but have a listing on the Singapore Exchange) that have done better than their industry sector peers in three key metrics (see their Methodology here):
Highest Returns to Shareholders Over Three (3) Years
Highest Growth in Profit After Tax Over Three (3) Years Award
Highest Weighted Return on Equity Over Three (3) Years Award
Overall Sector Winner
You can decide for yourself whether or not any calculations for these awards are reasonably accurate…
Winners in the Billion Dollar Club (BDC) are those with a market cap that is above $1 billion (I assume this is in Singapore dollars…) while the Centurion Club recognizes companies with a market value of between $100 million and $1 billion:
