SINGAPORE (July 27): Here are some stocks that could move the market this Wednesday morning:

Great Eastern Holdings saw 2Q16 earnings fall 63% to $102.2 million from $277.7 million in 2Q15. The weaker bottomline was due to a $18.7 million loss on disposal of the group’s Vietnam subsidiary, unfavourable financial markets and low interest rate environment. Profit for 2Q15 also included a $119.9 million gain on disposal of its investments in New China Life Insurance Company. Operating profit for 2Q16 was 2% higher at $134.6 million compared to 2Q215. Shares of Great Eastern closed 2.3% higher at $21.80 on Tuesday.

SIA Engineering posted a nearly fivefold jump in 1Q ended June earnings to $198.4 million, or 17.67 cents per share, from $41.3 million a year ago. This was due to a $141.6 million gain from the divestment of its 10% stake in Hong Kong Aero Engine Services to Rolls-Royce Overseas Holdings and Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company. SIA Engineering closed 0.79% lower at $3.75.
