The STI has enjoyed a strong run, but not every blue chip has kept pace.

3 stocks have all lagged the benchmark - after years of disruption, restructuring and investor patience being put to the test.

Michelle Martin speaks with Chin Hui Leong, Co-founder of The Smart Investor, to examine whether the market is overlooking opportunity or correctly pricing in risk.

They unpack DFI Retail’s exit from its food business, Hongkong Land’s shift away from its long-held investment-property model, and Genting Singapore’s major RWS 2.0 investment cycle.

What needs to change for investors to return?

Plus, a debate over whether AI is creating genuine long-term winners - or the next investment bubble.
