Among the iEdge Singapore Next 50 Index constituents, there are several that saw gains of more than 100%.<\/p>\n

In this article, we take a closer look at the five best-performing iEdge Singapore Next 50 stocks year-to-date, and examine whether their dividend yields are as attractive.<\/p>\n

The 5 Best Performing iEdge Singapore Next 50 Stocks in 2025<\/h2>\n

#1 – Hong Leong Asia (SGX: H22)<\/h2>\n

Hong Leong Asia is the trade and industry arm of the Hong Leong Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It operates as a diversified Asian multinational with core businesses in powertrain solutions through its subsidiary China Yuchai International, and building materials such as cement, precast concrete, and ready-mix concrete in Singapore and Malaysia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Coming in first place, Hong Leong Asia share price has rallied approximately 159.3% year-to-date as of 29 December 2025.<\/p>\n

For the first half ended 30 June 2025 (1H2025), Hong Leong Asia reported a 13.1% year-on-year increase in net profit attributable to owners (PATMI) to S$56.1 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Revenue rose 25.7% to S$2.83 billion, driven primarily by the powertrain solutions division, which saw sales surge as the commercial vehicle market in China recovered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Group gross profit expanded 18.5% to S$427.5 million, though gross margin moderated to 15.1% (from 16.0%) due to product mix and RMB weakness.<\/p>\n

Profit before tax jumped 31% YoY to S$121 million, driven by volume growth and operating efficiencies at Yuchai.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Net profit attributable to shareholders (PATMI) was S$56.0 million (+13.1% YoY). Excluding a one-off associate gain in 1H 2024, core PATMI rose 21.2% YoY.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company doubled its interim dividend from S$1.0 cents in 1H FY2024 to S$2.0 cents per share for 1H FY2025.<\/p>\n

The company maintains a solid balance sheet with a net cash position, supported by disciplined capital management and improving visibility on margin expansion across its key business segments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
