Straits Times Index (STI) Component Stocks Review

On Friday, the last trading day of January 2015, the Straits Times Index (STI) closed near 3,400 points, its highest level in a year. Is this the time to shy away from the stock market, given that it has broken new highs or should we stay invested? With the reduction of the minimum board lot sizes, it is finally time that our young investors have sufficient capital to invest in pricier blue chips.

Today, we take a closer look at our STI 30 component stocks, which are the 30 stocks with the highest market capitalisation listed on the stock exchange. We will use the SGX Stock Screener and see if there are any interesting stocks still worth investing in, based on S&P Capital IQ Consensus and individual stock attributes.

^ Based on S&P Capital IQ Consensus
* Temasek as main shareholder

Based on comparison between the current price and the target price based on S&P Capital IQ Analysts' Consensus, we have 9 stocks (shaded in green) with potential upside of more than 10% still worth looking at.

However, after filtering them based on the Price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) criteria of less than 12, only 3 stocks are remaining, namely DBS, Olam and SembCorp Industries (shaded in yellow). The P/E ratio is the company's current price divided by its earnings per share over the past 12 months.

Incidentally, these are shares owned by Temasek Holdings. I have the habit of tracking the main shareholders of companies to see if the share price or the financial performance are better than others.
