United Internet cuts dividend to €0.50 per share

Shareholders of United Internet will receive €0.50 per share annually. This reduced dividend is part of a broader shift in capital allocation. Over the last three months, the share price has declined 6.42%. The company is currently executing a large-scale rollout and upgrade of its own fiber-optic and mobile (Open RAN/5G) infrastructure. This investment reduces dependency on third-party networks and lowers wholesale access costs. These cost reductions are expected to drive improved net margins and long-term earnings. A fair value estimate of €30.60 per share is based on the expectation that these margins expand and revenue progresses.

Frasers Centrepoint Trust offers a distribution yield of 5.4% based on a unit price of S$2.24. The retail REIT maintains portfolio occupancy of 98.1%, with committed occupancy increasing to 99.9% after secured leases. Aggregate leverage stands at 40.3% with an average cost of debt of 3.5%.

BCE breaks 15-year dividend streak to fund U.S. fiber expansion

BCE shareholders saw a 7.95% share price decline over the last month. This follows the company's first dividend cut since 2009. The payout reduction coincides with the acquisition of U.S.-based Ziply Fiber. The shift in shareholder payout and cross-border footprint has contributed to a 36.39% decline in 3-year total shareholder return.

United Overseas Bank provides a current yield of 5.5% based on a share price of S$37.39 as of 8 April 2026. The bank reported FY2025 net profit of S$4.7 billion, distributing a total of S$2.06 per share. This total includes a core dividend of S$1.56 and a special dividend of S$0.50. The bank's payout ratio is 50%.

A 30% discount to NAV makes Morgan Stanley Direct Lending’s risks buyable

Morgan Stanley Direct Lending (MSDL) trades at a 30% discount to its net asset value, a valuation gap wide enough to offset serious portfolio concerns. That disconnect creates a compelling entry point — one that recent performance has only deepened. The discount is far steeper than at peer BXSL, which trades at a smaller margin to its own NAV, making MSDL an outlier in relative value terms. The fund’s portfolio, however, is not without issues. Underperforming assets are rising, interest income is declining, and the current dividend is not fully covered by net investment income — a trio of red flags for income-focused investors. Still, MSDL maintains a defensive posture, with a heavy tilt toward first-lien loans that rank higher in the capital structure during defaults. Its software sector exposure is also more nuanced than broad tech bets, avoiding the most volatile subsegments. Those strengths don’t erase the financial strains, but they do provide a buffer. At a 30% discount to NAV, the market is pricing in a level of deterioration beyond what the portfolio currently shows. That overhang sets the stage for double-digit total returns if the fund merely stabilizes.

At a share price of S$15.95, Venture Corporation Ltd offers a dividend yield of 5%. The company reported FY2025 total dividends of S$0.80 per share, an increase of 6.7% year on year. Despite a 7.4% decline in net profit to S$227.0 million, the group maintains a net cash balance of S$1.28 billion.

Singapore Stocks Hold Steady Amid Federal Reserve Policy Uncertainty

The Straits Times Index (STI) moved within a narrow range this week as investors engaged in profit-taking. This cautious trading was driven by a wait-and-see approach from investors assessing global inflation signals and the policy outlook from the Federal Reserve. Banking heavyweights, including DBS Group Holdings, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation, and United Overseas Bank, provided support to the index. Technology and consumer counters faced intermittent selling pressure, while commodity-linked stocks saw selective interest. The index ended the week of April 6–10 on a steady but cautious note.
