Unlocking value for publicly listed companies
How boards can close the gap between price and value in a targeted manner
THERE has been much news on the number of companies delisting from the Singapore Exchange (SGX) recently. This is unsurprising, given the resources that a publicly listed company (listco) needs to maintain its status.
On the other hand, the potential benefits of public listing – including access to additional sources of capital – continue to capture interest. Coupled with the S$30 million Value Unlock Programme that SGX launched in November 2025, companies may be keen on reviewing their investability plans.
However, while these are welcome interventions, programmes and grants cannot substitute for the fundamental work that boards themselves must do.
