Companies enjoying double-digit revenue and profit increases, a diversified set of customers in growing markets and dividend yields of around 3.5% are always worth a look.

One interesting example is Singapore Technologies Engineering (Singapore: S63), or STE, a company worth S$14 billion (£8.2 billion), with businesses in defence and public security (DPS); commercial aerospace (CA); and urban solutions and satellite communications, or satcom (USS). DPS is the largest division, making up 44% of revenue in the first nine months of 2024, followed by CA with 40% and USS with 16%.
