SGX RegCo Proposes Smaller Board Lot Sizes to Boost Access to Higher-Priced Stocks

The latest announcement is out from Singapore Exchange ( (SG:S68) ).

Singapore Exchange Regulation is consulting the public on a proposal to cut standard board lot sizes for higher-priced stocks on SGX’s stock market, aiming to lower the minimum investment outlay and make such securities more affordable for investors. Under the plan, instruments priced above S$10 and up to S$100 would see their board lot size reduced from 100 units to 10, while those priced above S$100 would be cut from 100 units to 1, a move expected to increase accessibility, broaden investor participation—particularly among younger retail investors—and potentially boost trading activity in a segment that already accounts for about 30% of market turnover. SGX RegCo is also proposing to remove the requirement to match minimum bid sizes for Hong Kong dollar, Renminbi and Japanese yen securities and futures to their home markets, following a structural review, with both sets of changes targeted for implementation in mid-2026 subject to market support.

The most recent analyst rating on (SG:S68) stock is a Buy with a S$21.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Singapore Exchange stock, see the SG:S68 Stock Forecast page.
