Sembcorp Industries share price gave me 37% return!

SIGN UP FOR $10 TO UNLOCK ALL ARTICLES! Christmas certainly comes early for Sembcorp Industries investors as Sembcorp Industries share price surged from $1.17 on 9 September to $1.85 on 4 December. The incredible run of Sembcorp Industries share price followed the epic demerger from the ailing Sembcorp Marine. The deal propelled Sembcorp Industries share price to one of the best, if not the best, performing stocks in SGX mainboard.

Sembcorp Industries is the best stock that I have ever invested in. In late September, I bought 35,000 shares when Sembcorp Industries share price was trading at $1.35.

For sure, CEO Wong Kim Yin hit the ground running. Appointed as CEO only in 1 July 2020, he had overseen the demerger of Sembcorp Marine and quickly pivoted Sembcorp Industries’ business focus in the clean energy sector with a slew of contract wins. As he was the former CEO of Singapore Power, Wong Kim Yin should be the right man for the right job. In this regard, I am convinced Sembcorp Industries share price will continue to do well in 2021.

Apart from DBS’ Piyush Gupta, I could not recollect another CEO of Temasek-linked companies making such impact as Wong Kim Yin.

Will Sembcorp Industries share price carry on its fairy-tale run and hit the $3.00 mark in 2021? And will the new CEO finally unleash the IPO of its Indian asset, Sembcorp Energy India Limited (SEIL) in 2021?
