Singapore’s leading newspaper publisher had a market capitalization that was larger than that of the New York Times Co. -- until this month.

Singapore Press Holdings Ltd. saw its market value fall below that of its better known U.S. peer for the first time in 12 years, with outstanding shares at S$4.2 billion ($3.13 billion), about $7.1 million less than the publisher of the New York Times.
