1. $Morgan Stanley(MS)$ 's Blue Book:SGX Stock Market Cap could Double by 2030

“ $Morgan Stanley(MS)$ anticipates it will become a hub for data and artificial intelligence (AI) reasoning in the future. Currently, hub industries contribute approximately 63% of Singapore's GDP.“

Singapore Economy

Morgan Stanley’s "Singapore Blue Book." explores how Singapore has aligned with global trends over the past 60 years, achieving remarkable economic success. The book highlights Singapore's wealth creation potential and predicts a significant increase in its return on equity (RoE), potentially leading to a doubling of its stock market capitalization by 2030.

The core message of the Blue Book is that Singapore is poised for significant wealth creation.

• The bank projects strong growth in equity returns, from 12% to 14%, driven by productivity gains.

• This could lead to a price-to-book ratio (P/B) increase from 1.7 to 2.3, doubling the stock market capitalization by 2030.

• Furthermore, Morgan Stanley forecasts Singapore's five-year GDP compound annual growth rate of 3%, among the highest among developed economies.

• The bank also predicts that household net worth will nearly double, reaching US$4 trillion by 2030, a sign of true wealth creation.

The Blue Book notes that behind this success lies Singapore's ability to capitalize on global trends. Initially, Singapore focused on manufacturing exports to create jobs. Subsequently, the country began to shift towards value creation.

$Morgan Stanley(MS)$ believes that Singapore's next step will be wealth creation, building on its existing brand and economic achievements to further enhance its capital strength and global financial standing.

2. The Blueprint report identifies three pillars for wealth creation:

1. The world's largest hub: Singapore is already a global energy, financial, and transportation center. Morgan Stanley anticipates it will become a hub for data and artificial intelligence (AI) reasoning in the future. Currently, hub industries contribute approximately 63% of Singapore's GDP.

2. Early adoption of new technologies: This report explores three emerging technology sectors that Morgan Stanley believes will help Singapore overcome key constraints and create wealth through significant productivity gains, higher company valuations, and potential IPOs. These three industries are artificial intelligence, humanoid robots, and autonomous vehicles (AVs).

3. Stock Market Reform: As a financial center, Singapore lacks a vibrant stock market. Many portfolio managers consider the Singapore stock market "small, safe, and boring" due to a lack of new economy growth stocks. By addressing this issue, Singapore can shed its image as a safe haven with limited liquidity and a limited number of investable bank and real estate investment trust (REIT) stocks. (BC)

3. Large cap opportunities(as of Sep 10th 2025.)

• $Sembcorp Ind(U96.SI)$ , YTD 2025 is 15%.

• $DBS(D05.SI)$，YTD 2025 is 26.32%.

The bank is set to benefit from Singapore’s deepening push towards higher return on equity wealth business, where it is already the third-largest player in Asia-Pacific after UBS and HSBC.

• $CapitaLandInvest(9CI.SI)$ , YTD 2025 is 10.53%.

Singapore’s largest new economy Reit is poised to ride the wave of Singapore’s continued rise as a regional Reit hub.

• $SGX(S68.SI)$ ,YTD 2025 is 31.51%.

The bourse operator is likely to emerge as a key beneficiary of ongoing equity market reforms and rising volumes in FX and energy trading.

• $Genting Sing(G13.SI)$ ,YTD 2025 is 4.83%.

The company offers steady earnings and dividend visibility amid a rebound in visitor arrivals and new attractions. The stock trades at compelling valuations, with yields at over 5%.

4. Technology-driven growth opportunities

Singapore’s early move into emerging technologies is opening up new opportunities for investors, with several listed names set to ride the Republic’s push into AI, automation and the digital economy.

• $Grab Holdings(GRAB)$ ,YTD 2025 is 12.08%.

Grab remains the market leader in Singapore’s on-demand services space, generating more than 20 per cent of group revenue – and a substantial portion of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) – from its home market. 

According to Oxford Economics, Grab contributed 0.8 per cent of Singapore’s gross domestic product in 2023. Its newly launched AI Centre of Excellence is expected to accelerate the group’s foray into autonomous vehicles and intelligent logistics solutions.

• $Sea Ltd(SE)$ , YTD 2025 is 81.59%.

• $Singtel 10(Z77.SI)$ ,YTD 2025 is 38.68%.
