Venture resumed its sharebuybacks yesterday (9/6/26) at $17.48. Its previous buyback was on 23/3/26 at $15.47. Perhaps this is an early sign which reinforces the management team' s confidence in the long-term future of the Company. In reference to the 1Q2026 quarterly business update published on SGXNet by the Company on 5/5/26, within the Outlook, the Company said, " Venture Group achieved a turnaround in our 1Q2026 financial performance, albeit with only a small year-on-year revenue increase, but one that is of signigicant importance. This is like new shoots sprouting in early spring. We expect these new shoots to grow in 2026." This bullish language is unusual from Venture as compared with previous quarterly business updates where management has historically been ultra conservative when commenting on the future. Combined with its significant warchest of a balance sheet, consistent profitability margins, an emphasis on shareholder returns with continued buybacks and a steady dividend (4.6% yield at today' s price of $17.55), it appears that the prospects are bright, at least over the medium term.

KEY GLOBAL LISTING BOARD RULES PROPOSED BY SGX REGCO
A. Admission requirements for the Global Listing Board
1. An issuer must satisfy the following quantitative standards:
a. have a market capitalisation of at least S$2 billion based on the issue price and post-invitation issued share capital and
b. one of the following requirements:
i. revenue requirement of at least US$90 million of total revenue in the latest completed financial year
ii. income requirement of (A) aggregate income from continuing operations before income taxes of at least US$11 million over the prior 3 financial years (B) positive income from continuing operations before income taxes in each of the prior 3 financial years and (C) at least US$2.2 million income from continuing operations before income taxes in each of the 2 most recent financial years or
iii. assets with equity requirement of (A) total assets of at least US$80 million and (B) shareholders&rsquo equity of at least US$55 million.
SGX RegCo will apply the quantitative standards in a similar manner to Nasdaq for Global Select Market (&ldquo Nasdaq GSM&rdquo ) admission. The issuer must also have been approved for listing (in the case of an IPO), or be listed, on the Nasdaq GSM in order to be listed on the Global Listing Board.
2. An issuer will be required to undertake fundraising in Singapore.
3. An issuer will be required to allocate the lower of 5%, or S$50 million, of the total value of the securities being offered for subscription or sale in Singapore to one or more designated retail brokerages operating in Singapore. Distribution will be done through such retail brokerages during the period between the lodgment of the prospectus and its registration.
4. An issuer must remain listed at all times on the Nasdaq GSM. If an issuer is delisted from the Nasdaq GSM or no longer listed on the Nasdaq GSM, it will be delisted from the Global Listing Board.
5. An issuer must have at least 500 shareholders worldwide at listing and an arrangement in place to facilitate the movement of securities between US and Singapore on a continuing basis.
6. An issuer must prepare its financial statements in accordance with, or reconciled to, Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International), International Financial Reporting Standards, or US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The annual financial statements must be audited by certified public accountants in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing, International Standards on Auditing, US Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, or auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
7. An issuer must have, at all times, either a Singapore resident independent director or in the alternative, a Singapore-based compliance adviser.
8. Admission to, and continued listing on, the Global Listing Board is subject to the full discretion of SGX RegCo. As SGX RegCo will apply an approach harmonised with US practices in its review of listing through the dual listing bridge, it is thus expected that an issuer which has received approval to list, or is already listed on Nasdaq, would typically also be considered eligible to list in Singapore through this dual listing bridge.
9. All issuers shall be required to appoint an accredited issue manager in Singapore for the purposes of its application to list through this bridge on the Global Listing Board. The issue manager shall be responsible for managing the listing application of the issuer and shall be required to confirm to SGX RegCo that the applicable prospectus disclosure requirements under the SFA, and the admission requirements for the listing of the issuer on the Global Listing Board, have been complied with.

A significant number of larger US institutional investors nowadays won' t look at fundamentals or may even be barely aware of what the company does. They are factor investors so will see that Venture  is 1) a tech company, 2) a relatively large company for SGX, and 3) a relatively cheap company on valuation metrics in its sector and press the buy button.

3 Blue Chip Stocks That Could Benefit From the SGX Tie-Up With Nasdaq
With Singapore&rsquo s upcoming landmark SGX-Nasdaq dual-listing bridge, the long-awaited moment to uplift quality Singapore stocks could be right around the corner, benefiting investors who positioned early.
 
 
With SGX and Nasdaq (NASDAQ: NDAQ) teaming up to launch a Global Listing Board, Singapore&rsquo s markets are poised to receive a structural boost.
This framework allows Asian companies with at least S$2 billion in market capitalisation to tap US liquidity without the usual regulatory hurdles. 
It&rsquo s a big deal &ndash not just for firms raising capital, but for investors hunting for quality stocks.
Here are three Singapore dividend stocks that could benefit from this new cross-border arrangement.
Singapore Exchange or SGX (SGX: S68) &ndash The Direct Beneficiary
SGX isn&rsquo t just a beneficiary of the SGX-Nasdaq tie-up &ndash it is part of the tie-up.
As the sole integrated securities and derivatives exchange operator in Singapore, SGX runs a diversified, multi-asset marketplace spanning the entire trading lifecycle.
For the fiscal year ended 30 June 2025 (FY2025), revenue rose 11.7% year-on-year (YoY) to just under S$1.3 billion, with net profit after tax climbing 8.4% to S$648 million, driven by broad-based growth across equities, currencies, and derivatives.
Total dividend paid in FY2025 was S$0.375 per share, a 9% increase YoY, representing a payout ratio of 65.8%.
With its growth firing on all cylinders, dividends are expected to steadily increase by S$0.0025 every quarter from FY2026 to FY2028, subject to earnings growth.
OTC FX and Derivatives are its primary growth drivers, with OTC FX having the potential to contribute mid-to-high single-digit percentages to group EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation), catalysed by its integration of advanced data analytics and scaling of its core cutting-edge technology.
Overall, SGX&rsquo s unique advantage to benefit from every listing, through the liquidity generated by every trade, makes it a direct beneficiary of its tie-up with Nasdaq.
ST Engineering or STE (SGX: S63) &ndash The Global Compounder
STE operates globally across diversified sectors in Commercial Aerospace, Defence & Public Security, and Urban Solutions & Satcom (satellite communications).
For the first nine months of 2025 (9M2025), revenue grew 9% to S$9.1 billion YoY, supported by strong growth in all segments, on top of S$14 billion worth of new contract wins.
Recent divestments unlocked S$594 million in cash proceeds, boosting STE&rsquo s cash position.
STE&rsquo s mission-critical expertise allows it to secure diversified, global contracts in A380 airframes, AI-powered 5G solutions, and Satcom infrastructure.
For 2025, the proposed total dividend amounts to S$0.23 per share, inclusive of both ordinary and special dividends, an increase of 35.3% YoY.
STE&rsquo s revenue goal is clear &ndash S$17 billion by 2029, with growth in net profit outpacing revenue growth, by up to 5%, driven by strengthening its core business and pursuing high-growth opportunities.
With its global business presence and favourable credit ratings of Aaa by Moody&rsquo s (NYSE: MCO) and AA+ by S& P Global (NYSE: SPGI), STE epitomises the kind of &ldquo quality industrial&rdquo stock that could stand out on global investors&rsquo radar.
Venture Corporation (SGX: V03) &ndash The Tech Value Play
Venture stands out from other traditional electronics manufacturing services (EMS) providers with its &ldquo EMS++&rdquo strategy, excelling in high-mix, complex manufacturing processes.
For 2025&rsquo s third quarter (3Q2025), revenue was S$627.2 million, a 2.8% decrease quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), due to softness in the Lifestyle Consumer technology domain, which ironically, is due to improved product reliability causing lower demand for product replacements.
While earnings per share (EPS) of S$0.192 is a comparable 3% drop QoQ, net margin remained resilient at 8.9%, through its focus on high-value-add solutions.
These factors combined to enable Venture to pay dividends of S$0.30 per share on 12 Sep 2025, an increase of 20% YoY.
Despite a mild slip in revenue and net profit, Venture maintains more than S$1 billion in net cash in 3Q2025, even after accounting for dividend payments and share buybacks.
The ramp-up of data centre connectivity for 2026 should catalyse future growth, among other contract wins in the semiconductor, automation, and life science domains.
Venture trades at a PE of 20.4 &mdash not the cheapest but undervalued compared to the NASDAQ 100 index&rsquo s P/E of 32.7, potentially appealing to NASDAQ investors looking for tech value-play opportunities.
What This Means for Investors
With each company worth more than S$2 billion, these three companies may benefit from the SGX-Nasdaq dual listing bridge and offer diverse exposures to different sectors:
- SGX provides investors with the direct structural advantage of increased liquidity in the local stock market.
- ST Engineering&rsquo s global footprint exposes investors&rsquo portfolios to global growth in the industrial sector.
- Venture offers the tech-driven value play, riding on the global secular growth of the AI revolution.
Through their unique strengths, they form a diversified trio that could benefit the Singapore market&rsquo s global integration and visibility.
Get Smart: Move Early
The SGX&ndash Nasdaq bridge isn&rsquo t just a performative headline to generate interest. 
It&rsquo s a structural shift that could redefine the valuation of Singapore companies.
High-quality names with solid dividend payouts, supported by global growth prospects, such as those mentioned above, could benefit early investors immensely.

Recognition reinforces the growing consumer relevance of IQOS and the strength of Philip Morris International&rsquo s smoke-free vision
STAMFORD, Conn., May 26, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Philip Morris International&rsquo s (PMI) (NYSE: PM) IQOS, the #1 tobacco heating system1, has been listed for the first time as one of the top 100 most valuable brands in the world in Kantar&rsquo s BrandZ 2026 Most Valuable Global Brands. This ranking solidifies IQOS&rsquo s global momentum and its emergence as a culturally relevant, iconic brand for adult nicotine users seeking better alternatives to cigarettes.
 
According to the BrandZ 2026 Most Valuable Global Brands, IQOS achieved a ranking of #74 globally.
With more than 35 million IQOS users worldwide&mdash most of whom have fully switched away from cigarettes2&mdash the brand continues to lead from the front and champion in a smoke-free era through science-backed innovation and consumer-centric design. Within 10 years of inception, IQOS surpassed $10 billion in annual net revenues, reaching this milestone faster than some of the world&rsquo s most recognized technology companies&mdash and making up the large majority of Philip Morris International&rsquo s smoke-free business which reached close to $17 billion in net revenues in 2025.
" This milestone is a powerful validation of the journey we are on," said Oggie Kapetanovic, President Heat-Not-Burn Products at Philip Morris International. " IQOS is not only the world&rsquo s leading smoke-free brand - it is becoming a truly iconic brand, built on science, innovation, and consumer trust. This recognition reaffirms IQOS&rsquo s continued growth and its pivotal role in transforming the industry. It inspires us to go further, faster, in delivering better alternatives for adults who would otherwise smoke."
 
BrandZ charts the way in which global brands have continued to evolve and innovate. Now in its 21st edition, it spotlights the importance of building meaningful difference where a brand meets consumer needs, stands out from competitors and remains top-of-mind in its sector for a prolonged period.
" The brand era has changed. People now interact with brands in thousands of different ways. Many of these are shaped by AI, like personalized feeds or LLMs that influence what we see. Machines are increasingly surfacing and prioritizing content. That means brands need to work harder than ever to stand out as meaningful and different," said Martin Guerrieria, Head of Kantar BrandZ.
IQOS&rsquo s inclusion in the Kantar Top 100 for the first time underscores its growing role beyond product innovation &mdash positioning the brand at the intersection of technology, design, and culture, aiming to meet the preferences of adult nicotine users. This recognition marks another important step toward achieving a future where cigarettes can become obsolete.
