Strategic Profile

SGX Group reported robust financial performance with revenue increase of 11.7% to $1,298 million and net profit after tax growth of 15.9% to $610 million in fiscal 2025. The exchange is pursuing an ambitious push into new products including crypto derivatives and a Nasdaq dual-listing tie-up. With strong multi-asset revenue diversification and strategic partnerships driving growth, SGX maintains competitive positioning as a premier Asian exchange with differentiated global reach.

Cyborg Score Rationale

SGX achieved record revenue and profit with equities cash revenue surging by 19% and derivatives daily average volume increasing by 17.2%. The Nasdaq partnership to launch a global listing board is due to kick off in mid-2026.
