What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Singapore Exchange implemented smaller board lot sizes for several stocks, including Jardine Matheson and Jardine Cycle & Carriage. This change, effective October 5, 2026, allows retail investors to purchase shares in smaller quantities. For example, a stock trading at S$40 now requires about S$400 before fees, down from S$4,000 previously.
