Analysts, investors must challenge status quo to unlock value, forge a more vibrant market
The widespread undervaluation of Singapore stocks may have reduced the incentive to run companies for the benefit of minority investors
DURING the Mark To Market “Live” forum held earlier this month, there were lots of comments and questions from the audience about the long-term weakness of the Singapore market, and the widespread undervaluation that has resulted in many companies being taken private on the cheap.
Among the possible solutions floated during the lively discussion was that there should be more analyst and media coverage of promising Singapore-listed companies.
It was also suggested that Temasek and other Singapore institutional investors should be encouraged to invest more in the local market.
