The Singapore market lately has been quite a downward ride. Top 5 Stock Picks for 2H26
|
The 5 are:
1. Q&M Dental Group – A defensive healthcare play that has re-fueled for regional expansion.
Back in July 2025, they locked down a S$130 million MTN issuance, giving them the war chest to scoop up clinics across Australia, Thailand, Singapore, and China.
In fact, they signed a major MOU in March 2026 to buy an Australian dental platform with over 40 clinics for AUD144.5 million.
Even better, their core dental revenue jumped 12.5% year-over-year to S$190.8 million.
KGI notes that their "Singapore clinics strengthened in 2H25 and remain the defensive earnings anchor," proving they can chase international growth while keeping things steady at home.
2. OKP Holdings – Helping to Build the Future of Singapore
For an infrastructure upcycle play, look at OKP Holdings. This civil engineering company currently boasts the largest orderbook in its history, sitting at S$760.7 million as of May 2026.
That "represents ~3.4x FY25 revenue and provides contracted revenue coverage through 2031".
OKP is heavily riding the wave of Singapore’s mega public-sector projects, snagging huge contracts like an S$87.3 million deal to build the “last-mile” infrastructure -- such as covered walkways and cycling paths -- around the upcoming stations for the Jurong Region Line and a S$165.3 million contract for pedestrian bridges.
With a cash-rich balance sheet of S$155.9 million (50.8 cents/share), OKP offers downside protection with a juicy target price suggesting around 64% upside.
3. CSE Global – Powering the AI and Data Center Boom
CSE Global, an engineering services company, smashed records with an FY25 order intake of over S$1 billion, leaving them with a S$709.5 million order book heading into FY26 and FY27.
They are literally building the physical infrastructure for the AI and data center boom.
From U.S. electrification projects to LNG-related wins, their services are in demand.
Plus, they’ve scored a highly strategic commercial arrangement with Amazon that promises long-term growth.
Look out for their profit margins to bounce back above 10% later this year as past one-off charges fade away.
4. Ever Glory United – The M&A Success Story
Ever Glory transformed its financial profile after acquiring Guthrie Engineering in July 2025.
That single move skyrocketed their FY25 net profit by 85% to S$16.6 million and blew up their revenue by 43%.
They now wield a massive S$732.8 million order book tied to huge hospital redevelopments, the Marina Bay Sands expansion, and major rail infrastructure projects.
Best of all, their recent "Mainboard transfer and 300% DPS increase signal improved investor access and confidence," notes KGI.
And a 1-for-4 bonus issue means the stock is now way more liquid and accessible to everyday investors.
Cashing in on the Premium GPU Craze
As a result, they drove a 38.4% revenue jump in FY25. |
