Singapore Exchange posts record annual earnings on volume growth across trades

Singapore Exchange S68 on Friday posted its highest net earnings since listing with a 15.9% rise in full-year profit on the back of strong performances across equities, currencies and commodities.

The city-state's bourse operator, which derives around two-thirds of its revenue from stock and equity derivative trades, said overall trading volumes rose across its business segments in fiscal 2025.

The firm posted annual adjusted net profit of S$609.5 million ($475.21 million), compared with S$525.9 million a year ago.

Its annual total revenue rose 11.7% to S$1.30 billion, also its highest since its debut in 2000 on the local bourse.

Singapore Exchange declared a final quarterly dividend of 10.5 Singapore cents per share, higher than 9 Singapore cents apiece declared last year.

"The Group intends to implement a steady dividend increase of 0.25 Singapore cents every quarter from FY2026 to FY2028," CEO Loh Boon Chye said in a statement.
