Being paid to wait helps investors to resist the urge to sell quality companies during a downturn. \nThe best dividend stocks pay their shareholders, year after year, regardless of market cycle. \nToday, we shine the spotlight on three Singapore blue-chips – Singapore Exchange (SGX), CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT), and DBS Group Holdings (DBS). \nAll of which have provided consistent dividend payout to investors for more than a decade. \nSGX: Monopoly that Gushes Cash Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX: S68), or SGX, is the only approved and regulated financial exchange in Singapore. \nThe bourse operator stands out with its stable, recurring income from securities and derivatives trading. \nGiven that SGX’s business model revolves around fees earned from transaction volumes of these financial securities, that should be consistent across market cycles. \nThis makes the stock a reliable dividend payer.\nThe company has paid a consistent yearly dividend, with the annual dividend per share increasing 33.9% from S$0.28 for the fiscal year ending 30 June 2016 (FY2016) to S$0.375 in FY2025. \nOver the same period, its dividend payout ratio averaged at around 75% — though this ratio declined to a low-60% range since FY2023. \nSGX had an average dividend yield of 3.45%, with a current estimated yield of 2.1%. \nThe company’s strong dividend-paying history is supported by steady revenue growth at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% over the past decade to S$1.37 billion for FY2025. \nNet profit compounded even faster at a CAGR of 7.1%. \nImpressively, both revenue and profit have been steadily rising over the years, without recording wild swings in either direction.\nThis characteristic has allowed SGX to grow its dividend per share at a CAGR of 3.3% over the last 10 years. \nThe main takeaway for SGX is that it has a monopoly position and strong cash flows support sustainable, steady dividends.\nCapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust: Singapore’s Largest and Safest REITCapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (SGX: C38U), or CICT, is Singapore’s largest real estate investment trust (REIT). \nThe REIT was formed in a merger between CapitaLand Mall Trust and CapitaLand Commercial Trust in November 2020. \nCICT’s diversified portfolio across prime retail and commercial properties delivers resilient income even during periods of market stress. \nThis characteristic can be seen from its consistent annual distribution payment even through the pandemic. \nThe REIT’s DPU hit a low of S$0.0869 per share in 2020, but has since increased steadily. \nFor 2024, CICT declared a DPU of S$0.1088. \nThat said, the REIT still has work to do as its 2024 DPU still trails its peak DPU recorded in 2019 of S$0.1197. \nAs of the first half of 2025 (1H2025), the trust has an overall occupancy rate of 96.3% across its portfolio. \nDuring this period, CICT recorded positive rental reversion for its retail portfolio (up 7.7% since last year) and its office portfolio (increasing 4.8% since last year). \nThe REIT’s balance sheet sports an aggregate leverage of 37.9% and an average cost of debt of 3.4%. \nFor 1H2025, DPU increased 3.5% YoY to S$0.0562; the trust has an approximate annualised yield of 4.8% at its current price. \n\nCICT’s consistent distribution payout over the years is underpinned by high occupancy across its portfolio of prime assets. \nIt also has strong support from its sponsor, CapitaLand Investments (SGX: 9CI).\nDBS Group Holdings: Singapore’s Largest Local BankDBS Group Holdings Limited (SGX: D05) or DBS, is Singapore’s largest local bank with a strong track record of growing dividend payments backed by increasing profits and robust capital ratios.\nDuring the pandemic, DBS was called on by MAS to reduce its dividends. \nSince then, its dividend has skyrocketed, hitting record levels today. \nThe ordinary dividend per share has soared by 311% from S$0.54 per share in 2016 to S$2.22 per share in 2024. \nExcluding a one-time decline in dividend payment during the pandemic, DBS has consistently increased its annual dividend per share. \nDBS has a healthy dividend payout ratio of 59.4% for the last 12-months (LTM) period. \nThe local bank’s strong dividend record is underpinned by its robust profitability. \nOver the past decade between 2016 and LTM, net profit grew at a CAGR of 13.9% to S$11.3 billion for the LTM. \nExcept for the COVID-induced decline, net profit has always increased annually. \nThe bank’s return on equity (ROE), which represents how effectively a company uses shareholder investments to generate net profit, is at an astounding 16.8% for the LTM – better than its peers in the industry. \nROE has exploded since the pandemic, increasing from 9.5% in 2020 to 17.2% in 2024, highlighting how DBS has become more efficient in generating greater net profits using shareholders’ equity.  \nThe bank’s CET1 (Common Equity Tier 1) capital ratio, being the core capital buffer banks have against potential losses, is 15.1% as of June 2025. \nThis is significantly higher than the regulatory requirement of 9%. \nThis excess capital allows the bank to sustain steady dividends even during market downturns. \nDBS combines consistent income with long-term growth, making it one of Singapore’s most dependable dividend stocks.\nWhat This Means for Investors: Consistent Dividends Highlight Strong BusinessesConsistent dividend payout, even during times of crisis, is a hallmark of excellent businesses. It also showcases the durability of cash flows and a commitment to shareholder value.\nSGX, CICT, and DBS demonstrate that high quality and consistent dividend payments are closely related.\nSuch businesses can anchor a dividend portfolio through market cycles. \nConclusion – Get Smart: Consistency Builds ConfidenceThese three blue-chips prove that consistent dividend payments are a result of having solid fundamentals. \nInstead of simply chasing high yield, smart investors should focus on high-quality businesses that have a long track record of paying solid dividends. \nThe world’s gotten unpredictable, but some Singapore companies have quietly kept thriving. You’ve probably seen them in your daily life. And yes, they’ve kept paying dividends through it all. Meet 5 resilient stocks built to navigate global storms.
