SEVERAL Singapore-listed companies have beat market forecasts with their fourth-quarter results, but are also recording weaker expectations from the street for their 2014 results.

A Morgan Stanley report released this week showed that among the 70 per cent of companies covered in the research that had reported their fourth-quarter earnings, about half had beaten analysts' expectations.

Singapore had the highest proportion of such better-than-expected performances among three Asean countries when compared with Indonesia and Thailand, the report said.
