There were 55 stocks in the STI six years ago, of which 24 stocks are still components today (see table). Using closing prices on Wednesday this week when the index finished at 2,502, we found that 10 of the 24 common members are actually below their Jan 3, 2000, levels.<BR><BR>Worse, many big names have significantly underperformed in six years.<BR><BR>Consider, for example, that DBS - the leader in the local banking sector - traded at $27.30 when the index hit its all-time high but costs only $16.40 now, a loss of 40 per cent.<BR><BR>SPH's split-adjusted price on Jan 3, 2000, was $7.39 versus $4.48 now; Singapore Telecommunications' price was $3.59 versus $2.67; and Creative Technology was $30.80 but only sells for 61 per cent less at $12.10 today.<BR><BR>Datacraft Asia in the meantime was US$11.20 but has since collapsed 90 per cent to US$1.14, while Venture Corp and Singapore Airlines have lost 36 per cent and 27 per cent respectively.<BR><BR>If so many bellwethers of the local stock market are all below their Jan 3, 2000, prices, how did the STI scale the heights it has currently and is now threatening to notch new records? The answer is that the underperformance of these big caps has been cancelled out by the outperformance of five Jardine group stocks, with notable contributions from F&N, Keppel Corp and CapitaLand.<BR><BR>Jardine Matheson is by far the biggest contributor. From US$3.82 six years ago, it has since posted an incredible performance, rising a whopping five-fold to an all-time high of US$19.10, while Jardine Strategic was introduced in September 2001 at US$2.72 and has since surged more than four-fold, to US$12 on Wednesday, also an all-time high.<BR><BR>The other Jardine contributors are Dairy Farm, up four-fold, and Jardine Cycle & Carriage and Hongkong Land, up 147 per cent each.<BR><BR>Meanwhile, Keppel's rise is more than three-fold; F&N's, 190 per cent; and CapitaLand's, a more modest 43 per cent.<BR><BR>So there you have it - mainstays of the local market like SIA, SingTel, DBS, UOB, OCBC, City Developments, SPH, Venture and Creative Technology have actually either not contributed to the current STI's six-year high or have exerted only a minor influence and may even have retarded its progress.<BR><BR>Instead - and there're many pertinent issues that can be pondered here, not least how well the index represents the Singapore market or economy - the STI owes its current lofty level to massive outperformance by seven or eight large-cap stocks, of which five are from a Hong Kong-based conglomerate whose largest shares (Jardine Matheson and Jardine Strategic) are thinly traded and for which very little stockbroking research is readily available to the average investor.<BR><BR>Some people might argue that because of the various changes to members and weights in the past six years, the index today is not the same creature as the one that reached 2,582, so the conclusions reached above are unfair.<BR><BR>Overdependence<BR><BR>This is an illogical argument because if the two creatures are different to begin with, then no comparisons are ever possible in the first place and the entire discussion of a six-year or all-time high becomes irrelevant.<BR><BR>To be honest, it looks very much like the question of whether the STI can break new ground boils down to whether Jardine's outperformance can continue and not whether the banks, property or electronics sectors can report superior profits.<BR><BR>Meanwhile, with knowledge now of what really lies behind the index's rise, is it still valid to describe the STI as being at a six-year high, or are newspaper readers and investors better served by saying 'Jardine group at all-time high pushes ST Index to six-year high'?<BR> |
