The Edge Singapore Billion Dollar Club recognises excellence in companies listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX), with at least $1 billion in market capitalisation. The billion-dollar cut-off serves as an aspirational target for dynamic smaller companies, which we are also recognising with the creation of the Centurion Club awards, which rates companies with market values of between $100 million and below $1 billion.
The Edge Singapore organised our first Billion Dollar Club in 2016 while The Edge Malaysia, our sister publication that is part of The Edge Media Group, first organised the Billion Ringgit Club back in 2010 to similarly recognise Bursa-listed companies.

Unlike other corporate awards determined by a judging panel, both the Billion Dollar Club and the BRC take a quantitative approach, drawing on the companies’ financial performance data from their annual reports, tabulated by financial advisery website absolutelystocks.com and then, applying a set of formulae according to the methodology to arrive at the eventual results.
This year’s Billion Dollar Club is also the third time sustainability scores provided by SGX are taken into consideration.
There are 88 companies included in this year’s Billion Dollar Club, from 82 last year. The Centurion Club, on the other hand, has 162 members this year, versus 157 last year.
