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. According to the prospectus, the PER is around 19x. The Company intends to pay 20% of its net profit after tax a

China New Town Development Company Limited


(IPO booth at Raffles Place)

China New Town Development Company ("CNT") is a leading new town developer in PRC. They currently have 3 projects in Shanghai, Wuxi and Shenyang.

Public : 12m shares at $0.83
Placement: 388m shares at $0.83
Manager: Citigroup Global Markets Singapore
Underwriters: Deutsche Bank, DBS Bank

The proceeds will be used to develop the new towns. The 12m float is quite big for the public tranche, as such it will be 'relatively easier' to get this IPO from the ATM than usual. I cannot recall any similar companies listed on the SGX except that Yanlord (a large property developer in China) may be used as a peer comparison. If Yanlord's share price post listing is any indication for China New Town, then it will only be good news to CNT's shareholders.

On one hand, i didnt have much time to evaluate this company as i was travelling last week, on the other hand, i really dont know how to value this company with such unique operations either. I guess the comforting fact to IPO punters is that when i asked for more placement shares (than what was allocated to me), my request was rejected due to the overwhelming demand.

It is really a tough call right now to say if this IPO is worth a "stag". While i am bullish on the long term view of this Company in China (as a New Town developer in a big populated country), there are other concerns as well such as the big share float, whether they will receive new mandates for townships, short term corrective measures taken by the Chinese Government to cool the hot property sector etc.

Conclusion: If we can use Yanlord's post IPO share price as any indication, then there could be longer term upside to CNT. Subscribers to this company's IPO should hold a longer term view and IPO punters should perhaps give it a miss. My gut feel is that it will open above 83 cents though.

Dear Hanneng,

Thanks for your comment. Looking at the current weak market sentiments, it will be impressive if they can close above the IPO price on the first day.
