Maybank Research says 43% of Singapore’s active listings have net cash balance sheets, with a sizable proportion of small and mid caps with cash exceeding their market caps.

Notable corporates where cash is at least 10% of market cap include HRnetGroup, Aztech, Credit Bureau Asia, ComfortDelGro, AEM and Venture Corp.

The broker's report titled "Fishing in Troubled Waters" sought to identify stock picks that would continue to do well in a challenging macro environment ahead.
