Money and Me: The Hottest Anticipated IPO's for APAC in 2025

A billion-dollar telecom merger has collapsed, a data-centre REIT is rethinking its strategy, and one of Singapore’s transport giants is facing fresh doubts - what should income investors do now?

Hosted by Michelle Martin with guest Willie Keng, Founder of Dividend Titan, this episode examines the fallout from the failed Simba-M1 merger and what it could mean for Singapore’s telecom sector, Keppel and future industry consolidation.

Michelle and Willie unpack why investors are reassessing Mapletree Industrial Trust after weaker earnings, pressure on distributions and concerns surrounding its North American data-centre portfolio.

They also discuss why ComfortDelGro shares have come under pressure despite the company’s overseas expansion strategy.

The conversation explores how regulators balance competition, infrastructure investment and consumer interests when evaluating major telecom transactions.

Plus, what dividend investors should focus on beyond headline yields when assessing long-term income opportunities.

The AI boom is alive - but investors are starting to ask a harder question: which winners deserve their sky-high valuations?

Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode of Market View explores a surprising sell-off among Japanese cable makers and what it may reveal about growing cracks in the AI infrastructure trade.

Investors also examine strong earnings from SATS, which delivered resilient profit growth despite Middle East disruptions and continues integrating Worldwide Flight Services into its expanding global network.

Michelle unpacks why premium cinema operator IMAX continues outperforming in the streaming era, why Delivery Hero surged on fresh takeover speculation involving Uber, and how Boustead Singapore more than doubled profits through a mix of operational strength and value creation.

Plus, Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust expands deeper into Europe as management doubles down on the logistics infrastructure theme.

The episode asks whether the next phase of AI investing will be less about spotting trends - and more about identifying genuine long-term winners.
