Singapore Stocks 📈Ranked by Market Cap

Singapore Stocks // TOP 10 companies in Singapore

Before we get into these Singapore Stocks, let’s be clear on one thing.

This article is in no way financial advice, and you should always do your own research and talk to a financial advisor before making investment decisions.

With that said, we are here to showcase the top 10 Singapore Stocks according to their market capitalisation or “market cap.”

Market Cap, in layman’s terms, is a companies’ total amount of shares multiplied by the current market price of one share.

For example, a company with 100 shares valued at $1 each has a market cap of $100. Here’s a 2-minute video to explain the market cap further.

There are many ways to examine Singapore stocks and compare them to one and another. However, the Market Cap is a reliable way of knowing what investors value an entire company.

The Market Cap will answer the question: if I were to buy every stock in this company, how much would I be spending?

Given the nature of stocks prices, the Market Cap of these companies is changing daily, so we won’t list today’s prices, but you can see the latest rankings and market caps at this link:
