Food Innovators Holding Limited

Food Innovators Holdings Limited ("FIH" or the "Company") is offering 14m shares at $0.22 each, for which 13m shares will be through placement and the remaining 1m shares via a Public Offer. The IPO will close on 14 Nov at 12 noon and starts trading on 16 Oct 9am.  FIH has two business models - the first is to be a master lease and sublease the space to other tenants and the second is to operate and manage restaurants.  The Company currently has 12 restaurants in Japan, 10 in Singapore and 4 in Malaysia. The market cap based on the IPO price is around $24.9m. Financial Highlights FIH's revenue grew from $37.8m in FY2022 to $43.8m in FY2024. It is quite funny to see that being a master land lease holder has a higher margin than operating the restaurants, once again illustrating the point that it is better to be a landlord to shake leg and collect rent.

Is this the start of the bear market?


I believe all the investors would want to know if this severe correction is the beginning of the bear market and whether the current rebound is a technical rebound or a resumption of the uptrend. 32 of you participated in this poll. The results is still slightly bullish bias with 37% on the bullish side and 28% on the bearish side. The remaining 34% of you are 'unsure' and feel that it could go either way depending on how the fall out of the US sub-prime market pans out.





Let's take a quick look at the 'health' of the STI by looking at the technical picture. The 50-day moving average is beginning to turn downwards and the 200-day moving average has also been breached. It manage to stage a strong rebound today and in my view, STI will need to regain the 3,500 level and maintain above that level to 'overcome' the bearishness. Stock market is a discount mechanism and trade 6 to 12 months ahead of the cycle so if STI cannot move above the 3,500 level and the 3,000 support level gives way, then this could be the start of the bear market. On the other hand, if STI can move above 3,500, it will likely mean the resumption of the uptrend.
