I hope my question don't sound to silly but where do I get historical data for analysis? Things like historical EPS, NAV, P/E etc etc for SG companies.
I usually look at Yahoo Finance/Bloomberg/Reuter Finance but don't have this data.

I think the best source of information would be the latest set of quarterly results or the latest annual results.

Thanks, but I am not a SI subscriber. I know I can extract from annual reports but it would be very slow. The sites I mentioned don't really have the data presented in a time-series.
I was just wondering whether can get this for free considering that we can get historical quotes for free (via ChartNexus program).

I recommend shares investment sharesinv.com. The data in dbsvickers is sometimes adjusted to their standardized framework. Share investment values are more accurate and most importantly u can get 3-4 years of ROE and ROA data.

Yes Shareinvestor.com is the place to get info for Singapore Shares. I use Quamnet for HK shares and google finance and yahoo for US shares

I have an annual subscription for shareinvestor and tried out shareinv for a month or two.
I prefer shareinvestor a little bit more since they have more data and their forums are a little more updated. Shareinv does have more broker comments though so pick one you like.
Of course, nothing beats doing your own homework. The formulas used by both websites are slightly skewed and may not be what you really need.

Old fashioned method - grab a copy of the last Annual Report, sit down with a calculator or spreadsheet and start computing!
