On 26 February 2026, Venture Corporation Limited (“Venture”) released their full year result for FY2025. While FY2025 full-year results reflect a broader contraction, Venture demonstrated significant sequential recovery in the final quarter. This bottoming-out process is underscored by positive traction in the Test & Measurement Instrumentation and Networking & Communications domains, which served as key performance drivers.
The Group is increasingly positioned to capture upside from the global expansion of hyperscale data centres. Robust demand for networking equipment, fuelled by sustained capital expenditure in AI and cloud computing, is projected to provide a high-conviction tailwind for the Semiconductor and Networking divisions over the coming fiscal periods.
Despite a challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop, management remains focused on defensive positioning and long-term value creation. By aggressively scaling technical capabilities and deepening research and development moats in strategic high-growth areas, Venture aims to decouple from cyclical volatility and secure a sustainable growth trajectory.

Gearing Ratio
| Metrics | Current | Previous |
|---|---|---|
| Gearing Ratio | 22.3% | No Update |
| Rating | Favourable | Favourable |
The gearing ratio metric will be assessed on a half yearly basis given the information available from the business updates.
Gearing ratio as of 31 December 2025 stands at 22.3%. This is computed using total assets of SGD3,602 million and total liabilities of SGD804 million. The metric remains Favourable.
Interest Coverage
| Metrics | Current | Previous |
|---|---|---|
| Interest Coverage | 290.3x | No Update |
| Rating | Favourable | Favourable |
The interest coverage metric will be assessed on a half yearly basis given the information available from the business updates.
Interest coverage as of 31 December 2025 stands at 290.3 times. This is computed using profit before tax of SGD284 million and interest expense of SGD0.983 million. The metric remains Favourable.
The Group’s exceptional interest coverage ratio is a direct function of its unleveraged balance sheet. By maintaining a zero-debt capital structure, Venture has effectively eliminated financing risk and interest expense volatility. This ‘fortress’ balance sheet provides significant financial flexibility, allowing the Group to self-fund strategic expenditures without diluting shareholder equity or relying on external credit markets. In an era of macroeconomic uncertainty, this lack of gearing serves as a critical defensive moat, ensuring that operating cash flows are fully available for progressive distribution and opportunistic reinvestment.
Price-To-Book ratio
| Metrics | Current | Previous |
|---|---|---|
| Price to Book Ratio | 1.62 | 1.57 |
| Rating | Unfavourable | Unfavourable |
The price to book ratio metric will be assessed on a quarterly basis. Although the information on net asset value is only available from the business updates on a half yearly basis, the most recent share price is available on a daily basis.
Price-to-book (“P/B”) ratio has become more expensive at 1.62. This is computed using the closing share price of SGD15.70 per share as of 13 March 2026 and net asset value of the Group of SGD9.71 per share as of 31 December 2025. The metric remains Unfavourable as investors will be paying a significant premium for its book value.
Venture’s distribution profile remains highly sustainable, as demonstrated by a dividend payout ratio consistently below earnings per share over the preceding quarters. This disciplined capital allocation ensures that the Group’s core earnings not only fully cover the annual distribution but also allow for significant retained earnings. Consequently, this surplus capital continues to drive an accretive trend in net asset value, strengthening the Group’s book value and providing a robust buffer for future growth initiatives.
As of 31 December 2025, Venture maintains an exceptionally liquid capital structure, characterized by a cash position of SGD1,283 million and a total absence of interest-bearing debt. On a per-share basis, this translates to a net cash backing of SGD4.44 per share, representing a significant portion of the Group’s current market capitalization.
As of 13 March 2026, the Market Capitalization is approximately SGD4,518 million.

Dividend
| Year | Yield | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 3.18% | SGD 0.500 |
| 2025 | 5.10% | SGD 0.800 |
| 2024 | 4.78% | SGD 0.750 |
| 2023 | 4.78% | SGD 0.750 |
| 2022 | 4.78% | SGD 0.750 |
| 2021 | 4.78% | SGD 0.750 |
Although the Group does not have a formal dividend policy, it strives to pay dividends that are on par or higher than the previous year. Since FY2018, the Group has paid interim and final dividends. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Group aims to declare dividends at sustainable rates.
Venture distributed an one-off special dividend of SGD0.050 per share in September 2025. For modelling purposes, the distribution of SGD0.750 per share will be used as a conservative benchmark for future period projections. This figure represents the recurring core distribution base.
With a closing share price of SGD15.70 per share as of 13 March 2026, this translates to a dividend yield of 4.78%. For my benchmark, a general reasonable yield would be around 4.75%. Venture’s dividend yield is around my benchmark and is Neutral.
Website: Reasonable Dividend Yield 2026Q1 – 4.75%
If using dividend yield of 5.75% as a benchmark, based on the dividend of SGD0.750 per share there is potential for Venture to see its share price drop by another 16.9% to SGD13.04 per share.
| Yield | Share Price | Downside |
|---|---|---|
| Current | 15.70 | – |
| 5.75% | 13.04 | -16.9% |
| 6.75% | 11.11 | -29.2% |
