Singapore is home to some of the market's most recognisable names, from SGX, Singtel and Singapore Airlines to Keppel, CapitaLand Investment and SATS.

But while these companies are often seen as national champions, does that automatically make them great investments?

Michelle Martin speaks with Alvin Chow, Co-founder of Dr Wealth, about how investors should distinguish between a great business and a great stock.

They discuss whether strong companies can still disappoint if expectations are already priced in, and where overlooked opportunities may lie instead.

The conversation examines the latest developments across Singapore's blue-chip names - from SGX's surge in trading activity and Singtel's capital recycling strategy, to CapitaLand Investment's asset-light transformation, SIA's record revenue but lower profits, SATS' global expansion, and Keppel's ongoing business reshaping.

Alvin also shares which company offers the strongest long-term investment case today and the biggest mistake retail investors make when assuming a great company will automatically deliver great returns.
