🔔 Analysis on Major Constituents
- Sea Limited (NYSE: SE)
- Analyst Upgrade: On Jan 2, Maybank upgraded Sea Ltd from “Hold” to “Buy”, maintaining a price target of $156.
- Market Reaction: The stock rose 3.3% on the news. Analysts cited the 36% pullback from 2025 highs as “overdone” and expressed confidence in Shopee’s VIP program and the upside potential of its financial arm, Monee.

- DBS & OCBC: Both stocks closed 2025 near record highs. Analysts noted on Jan 2 that while Net Interest Margins (NIM) will face pressure in 2026, 星展银行 remains the best positioned due to its $78 billion in fixed-rate hedges rolling off later in the year.

- Dividends: Research published during the week confirmed expectations for 5%–6% dividend yields across the trio for FY2026.
- Digital Core REIT (SGX: DCRU)
- Strategic Win: On Jan 2, the REIT announced it had secured a 10-year agreement with a major cloud provider for its facility in Northern Virginia, significantly improving its portfolio’s weighted average lease expiry (WALE).
