My Investment Portfolio (February 2026)

STI ended a shorter February trading month at 4995 points, up around 1.8% for the month. In US, potential appointment of new US Fed chief had been announced. This had resulted in weakness in gold and strength in USD. Tech stocks were also sold down earlier in the month, due to worries on AI spending by companies. Election results in Japan and Thailand were also in the news. In Singapore, Budget 2026 had been in focus as well, particularly to those measures that affected the equities market. Towards the end of the month, US-Iran tensions and new US tariff rate added to the uncertainty. Volatility in the markets had continued to increase since the start of the year.

I have attended the following physical AGMs/EGMs/briefing this month - Delfi.

For my top 30 holdings this month, there were some major changes as our market react to result announcements from companies. Hiap Hoe, SBS Transit, Frencken, Multi-Chem and ST Engineering returned to the list, replacing Global Testing, Lum Chang, Hotel Grand Central, Straits Trading and F&N. Main contributors include The Hour Glass, Jardine C&C, SGX, LHT and SingTel. Detractors include iFAST, Hong Leong Finance, Bonvests, DBS and Bukit Sembawang Estates.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - AnnAik, AvePoint, Avi-Tech, Baker Tech, Bonvests, Bund Center, Credit Bureau Asia, F&N, Far East Orchard, First Sponsor, Frasers Property, Global Investments, Global Testing, Golden Agri, Heeton, Hiap Tong, Hock Lian Seng, Hong Leong Finance, Hotel Grand Central, Hotel Royal, Hotung, Indofood Agri, Jardine C&C, Karin, Khong Guan, Metro, MTQ, MYP, New Toyo, OUE, Overseas Education, Pollux, PSC Corp, Qian Hu, Raffles Medical, Singapore Shipping, Straco, Sunright, TIH, UOA and Yeo Hiap Seng. No sale trade was done.

I have participated in the following scrip dividend scheme - Starhill Global REIT.

I have accepted the following voluntary delisting/cash offer this month - Low Keng Huat.

My stake in Spindex had also been acquired via Scheme of Arrangement.

Next month will be another quiet one with not much corporate activities as investors digest those full-year results from companies with financial year ending 31 December 2024. I will continue to go through some of those result announcements that I have missed out in February. With STI breaking 5000 points this month, I will continue to be more defensive in my portfolio positioning and also hold more cash going forward.

Hi ghchua,

I would like to know how did you accept the GO for Low Keng Huat after the first offer is over?

Thanks.

Hi Chong,

I didn't accept the GO after it closes. I accepted the offer once they announced that the offer was unconditional and they have the right (which they will exercise) to compulsory acquire the rest of the shares out there and delist the company as they have already secured more than 90% of the shares that they do not own when they first made the offer. That announcement was made on 5 Feb 2026, and the offer was still open during that time.

Hope that the above clarifies.

Hi ghchua,

Thank you for your reply. So you did use the form that was sent to us for the first offer and signed it and returned back by postage?

Hi Chong,

Nope. I accepted the offer online via SGX Mobile app.

Hi ghchua,

Thank you for telling me. I believed I missed the GO acceptance due date and when I tried to login to my SGX Mobile app, I could not see anything to allow me to accept the offer now. May I know are there other ways for me to accept the GO now?

Appreciate your advise.

Hi Chong,

The offer had already closed on 13 Feb 2026. Please refer to the announcement below:
https://links.sgx.com/FileOpen/20260213%20-%20LKHS_Close%20of%20Offer%20Announcement.ashx?App=Announcement&FileID=875187

You can exercise your right under under Section 215(3) of the Companies Act to require them to acquire your shares at the final offer price, since they have more than 90% of the shares after the offer closes. But I suggest you just do nothing and wait for compulsory acquisition to take place and they will acquire your shares and pay you at a later date.

Hi ghchua,

Thank you for your reply. I read through the circulars that Low Keng Huat sent to me yesterday and saw that the Compulsory Acquisition will happen 1 month after 27 Feb 2026.

Hi Mr Chua, will you be subscribing to the UI Boustead REIT?

Hi Farmer,

The answer is no. I already have a few industrial REITs in my portfolio currently, so won't be adding another one.
