CICT Gearing Breaches 39% As Paragon Deal Closes | SGX Daily Pulse 20 April 2026 | 🦖EP1559 The market is pricing CICT's Paragon acquisition as a trophy win, but the balance sheet is carrying a 39.2% pro-forma gearing and an ICR of approximately 3.1x — both in forensic breach before the ink is dry.

For a mature SRS portfolio in a 5,000-point STI era, the question is never yield in isolation — it is yield minus the risk you are silently underwriting. With the 6-month T-Bill at 1.47% and my Forensic Floor anchored at 3.2%, any fuel-exposed transport equity needs to clear a credible 4.7% hurdle with gearing below 35% t
