Any chance of this counter going the SPH path?
Put in fridge temporarily. Currently focusing my firepower to buy 3 v safe stocks which I believe the run up is faster when the market rebound or recovers

Thought so but was wrong. More like an easily manipulated stock

Thought this is supposed to be a defensive stock?
Somehow we have to agree shorting Singpost is the way to go to make money from here.
Not much left....

I short this counter for the past 10 years. It's great that Singpost continue to fall.
SingPost Q3 operating profit falls 38.3% to S$3.8 million on structural headwinds
Drop comes amid continued declines in letter mail and cross-border volumes
[SINGAPORE] Singapore Post (SingPost) group reported a 38.3 per cent drop in operating profit for the third quarter ended Dec 31, 2025, at S$3.8 million, down from S$6.2 million in the corresponding period a year ago.
The decline in operating profit occurred as growth in domestic e-commerce delivery volumes and property leasing revenue was outweighed by continued declines in letter mail and cross-border e-commerce volumes, said the postal operator on Wednesday (Feb 25).
Consequently, revenue for the quarter fell 26.8 per cent year on year to S$92.3 million from S$126.2 million.
On the costs front, operating expenses fell 26.2 per cent year on year to S$88.5 million, from S$120 million. Volume-related expenses declined in tandem with lower cross-border e-commerce deliveries.
Furthermore, labour-related expenses decreased as the cost base was realigned with the reduced operating scale following the sale of the Australia business at the start of the financial year.
Segment performance
In specific business segments, the domestic e-commerce business performed well during the seasonal peak period, with volume rising 11.6 per cent year on year to hit its highest monthly volume in the last two years.
Conversely, cross-border e-commerce delivery volume fell 58.9 per cent year on year as market conditions remained difficult.
Traditional letter mail also continued its structural decline, experiencing a 23.4 per cent year-on-year drop in domestic volume during the quarter.
SingPost&rsquo s &ldquo Post Office Network&rdquo recorded lower revenue due to a decline in agency services contribution, and continued to post an operating loss.
Meanwhile, property leasing revenue improved as the overall occupancy rate at SingPost Centre increased to 98.9 per cent from 98.2 per cent a year ago. The company is also awaiting regulatory approvals for the divestment of 10 HDB shophouses, which includes a sale-and-leaseback arrangement to maintain existing post office services.
On the balance sheet, cash and cash equivalents decreased to S$598.4 million as at Dec 31, 2025, from S$696.4 million as at Mar 31, 2025.
This reduction was largely attributable to a special dividend payment of S$202.6 million, though it was partly offset by proceeds from divestments of Quantium Solutions entities and Shenzhen 4PX.
Borrowings remained flat at S$349.6 million, while total equity stood at S$1.4 billion. The deconsolidation of subsidiaries following recent divestments contributed to the overall decrease in total assets and liabilities.
Outlook
Moving forward, SingPost said it remains focused on strengthening its core businesses and implemented a S$0.10postage rate increase effective Jan 1.
Additionally, to increase market share in domestic e-commerce, the company is investing in new small-parcel sorting equipment at the regional e-commerce logistics hub, which remains on track to be fully operational in mid-2026. SingPost has also expanded its network to more than 2,500 customer touchpoints across Singapore.
While the cross-border delivery business faces ongoing global trade shifts, the company said it is proactively adapting by introducing new delivery solutions and strengthening international partnerships.
SIA&rsquo s Q3 financials beat street consensus analysts expect share price to rise
DBS believes group&rsquo s better-than-expected passenger yields are &lsquo a potential early sign of an inflection point&rsquo
[SINGAPORE] Singapore Airlines&rsquo (SIA) : C6L +1.71% third-quarter financial performance beat street estimates, with analysts seeing early signs of pricing recovery.
The airline on Tuesday (Feb 24) posted a 25.9 per cent year-on-year improvement in operating profit to S$792 million for the quarter to December. This came even as net profit tumbled 68.9 per cent to S$505 million in the absence of a one-time accounting gain.
It also achieved a record quarterly revenue of S$5.5 billion, up 5.5 per cent on the year.
The airline group&rsquo s S$1.6 billion operating profit for the nine-month period, which was 11.9 per cent higher year on year, was above DBS and consensus forecasts for the full year of 91 per cent and 95 per cent, respectively, wrote DBS Group Research analyst Tabitha Foo on Wednesday.
She maintained a &ldquo hold&rdquo recommendation on SIA shares with a target price of S$6.50.
She also noted that SIA&rsquo s revenue was outstanding, driven by better-than-expected passenger yields at both the full-service carrier and its budget arm Scoot
&ldquo Passenger yields surprised to the upside, turning positive year on year after an extended period of normalisation. This turnaround is notable given persistent pricing pressure across the Asia-Pacific region amid intensifying competition. While Q3 is typically the strongest seasonal quarter, we view this as a potential early sign of an inflection point.&rdquo
Foo expects SIA group&rsquo s passenger yield improvement to be more &ldquo durable&rdquo in the fourth quarter of FY2026, with the full-service airline&rsquo s premiumisation efforts to further strengthen its medium-term pricing power by shifting its revenue mix towards higher-yield segments.
After stripping out the impact of the non-cash accounting gain of S$1.1 billion booked in the year-ago period following the merger of Vistara airline with Air India, the comparable core net profit for Q3 would be only 4.4 per cent lower year on year. This decline was driven by increased losses from associates, including Air India.
SIA&rsquo s share of losses from associated companies including Air India rocketed by S$163 million to S$178 million during the quarter. This was because the group recognised a full-quarter share of the Indian airline&rsquo s losses this year, compared with that for only one month the year before.
Foo believes that the sustained strength in passenger travel should help offset the group&rsquo s cargo softness and that SIA&rsquo s share price should react positively given the convincing operating performance beat. But she remains watchful on Air India.
Her view on SIA&rsquo s share price was shared by Citi analyst Kaseedit Choonnawat, who said in a flash note on Wednesday that the counter could initially react positively post-results as Q3&rsquo s revenue and core earnings beat Bloomberg consensus by 8 per cent and 30 per cent, respectively &ndash primarily driven by an improvement in passenger yields.
SIA shares were at S$7.17, S$0.14 or 2 per cent higher, at 10.56 am on Wednesday.

Singpost is also beaten down if you look back over a longer period.
Some questions to answer your question - what is the potential catalyst for the share price to rise, how likely is it to happen and if so when?

Quite stable when others drop.
But question is: is it better to buy SingPost or those beaten down?
Which one high chance to rise from here?

The results is no surprise and expected to be same as last quarter. I am more interested in their plan and strategy updates. Also, next quarter will also be interesting to see how much the 10cts increase will impact the net profit.

Cash and cash equivalents stood at 598.4 million Singapore dollars on Dec, 31 2025, down from 696.4 million Singapore dollars on Mar, 31 2025, primarily due to a 202.6 million Singapore dollars special dividend. Net debt fell 28.3% to 248.7 million Singapore dollars.
Satisfying result. Waiting for more positive cataysts. Esp from Temasek thru Singtel.
Ever since alibaba decided not to be a major shareholder, shorts constitute more than 50% of daily volume and has been going on for 5-6 months... so no way 3m shares is the entire short covering.
3m shares auction trade, is that to cover the short selling trades? Just curious.
