Stock Idea 1: Thai Beverage

Thai Beverage produces and distributes alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and food products mainly in Southeast Asia.
👆️ Dividend Play: ThaiBev is currently generating a 5.4% dividend yield, higher than the industry average of about 4.0%. And it is forecasted to rise to 5.8% in the next 3 years.

Source: SimplyWallSt
What we like about this dividend yield is that it did so by paying out 50% to 60% of its earnings in dividends. At this point, we do think that its dividend is ‘cheap’ to purchase. Its PER has declined to about 11.9 times in 2026 from a peak of about 19 times in 2020.

Source: Shareinvestor
💪 Investment Case: The investment case for Thai Bev is important here to justify why its dividend yield is cheap to purchase. It needs some catalysts that will show that earnings and revenue could improve in the next few years.
In its 9-month results from Sep 2025 to June 2026, revenue actually declined slightly by 1.8%, due to lower sales of beer and non-alcoholic beverages. This seems to coincide with the cost-of-living concerns in the region as fuel prices rose due to the conflict in the Middle East.
However, Thai Bev is working instead on making its operations leaner as it faces a tough consumer sentiment environment. EBITDA improved by 7.2%, driven by higher EBITDA improvements in beer (+10.4%) and spirits (+6.6%) segments.

Thai Bev is just waiting for the overall consumer sentiment environment to improve so that its operational efficiencies can yield better margins in the future.
❓ Market Analysts: Average target price at SG$0.51 with an implied upside of +15.8%.

Stock Idea 2: Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust
Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust (MPACT) is a REIT that invests and manages commercial properties such as retail and offices in Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Japan and South Korea.
👆️ Dividend Play: Dividend yield is currently at 6.6%, higher than the industry average of 5.7%. It is projected to rise to about 6.9% over the next 3 years.

Source: SimplyWallSt
Dividend payout ratio is quite high at 74%, while PER is at 25 times, which is a bit on the expensive side to buy. However, its potential catalysts could make this a dividend play with some upside on share price.
💪 Investment Case: First things first, the occupancy rate for MPACT seems quite low at about 84% as of July 2026. This was a significant decline from 89% in March 2026. Its Japan properties had the highest decline, from 75.1% to 56%.

Source: MPACT 1Q FY26/27 Presentation
Other than that, its other core assets in Singapore (58% of revenue) still have strong occupancy rates above 90%. Revenue has declined by 5.6% in 1Q of FY26/27 as its overseas contribution dragged its results down.
For now, its Singapore case remains strong, but its overseas portfolio is a question mark. Catalysts for share price increase would have to come from an improvement in its overseas portfolio.
❓ Market Analysts: Average target price of SG$1.50 with an implied upside of +24.9%.

Stock Idea 3: CapitaLand Ascendas REIT

CapitaLand Ascendas REIT is a REIT that invests in and manages business space and life sciences, logistics, industrial and data centre properties.
👆️ Dividend Play: CapitaLand Ascendas REIT generates a 6.4% dividend yield, slightly lower than the industry average of 6.7%. It is projected to rise to 6.9% over the next three years.

Source: SimplyWallSt
PER is at 24.3 times, which is a bit steep in terms of valuation, but it does show that investors expect some catalysts for its share price upside.
💪 Investment Case: 1H 2026 results were steady. Revenue is up by 6.7%, while distribution per unit remained steady. Total income available for distribution was up by 8.6%.
1H 2026 saw the company complete nine property acquisitions in the US, Europe, Singapore and Japan that were accretive to its DPU. This will provide higher support for revenue in 2H 2026 and from 2027 onwards.
Its enlarged portfolio base should provide visibility to its future earnings

❓ Market Analysts: Average target price of SG$3.06 with implied upside of +30.8%.
