Singapore Exchange reported an 11.6% rise in first-half profit on Thursday, on the back of strong performances across all its business segments alongside tight cost controls.
SGX, which derived more than half of its revenue from stock and equity derivatives in fiscal 2025, said trading volumes increased across its divisions as investors sought to reposition their portfolios amid volatile global markets.
The company is also on track to deliver a medium-term revenue growth of 6% to 8%, chief executive Loh Boon Chye said.
The city-state’s bourse operator reported an adjusted net profit of S$357.1 million ($280.69 million) for the six months ended December 31, compared to S$320.1 million a year earlier.
It also declared an interim quarterly dividend of 11 Singapore cents per share, higher than 9 Singapore cents apiece declared last year.
