Singapore IPOs: Why I No Longer Cover Every Listing

Some readers may have noticed that I have not been writing about every Singapore IPO since last year. The simple reason is that life has become busier. Between my day job, an increasingly packed travel schedule, family commitments and desire to play more golf, I have become much more selective about how I spend my time.  Writing detailed IPO reviews takes time — reading prospectuses, analysing financials, comparing valuations and understanding the competitive landscape. While I still enjoy investing and writing, I no longer feel the need to cover every IPO that comes to market. Instead, going forward, I will probably focus only on IPOs where I am seriously considering investing my own money or where there is something particularly interesting that is worth discussing. I suspect this will make the blog more useful as well. Rather than writing about every deal, I can spend more time sharing my thoughts on the handful that I believe deserve attention. That bring...

First Resources Limited

First Resource is one of the largest private sector of crude palm oil in Indonesia. There are 3 listed peers in Singapore, Golden Agri, Wilmar and Indo-Agri.

Total Offering: Placement 222 million shares and Public 3 million shares at $1.10 per share.
Manager and Underwriter: Citi
Sub-underwriter : UOB Kay Hian

FY 2006:
Revenue : US$ 94.7m
Net profit : US$ 38.8m

FY 2007:
Revenue : US$ 168m (Assume 1H07 x 2)
Net profit : US$ 75m (Assume 1H07 x 2)
EPS (post-IPO) : US 3.2 cents or Singapore 4.64 cents.

Based on IPO price of $1.10, it is priced at a FY07 PE multiple of 23.7x

Peers Valuation:

Golden Agri - Trading at FY06 Historical PE of 13x (use historical as Q307 a bit erratic)
Indo-Agri - Trading at FY07 Est PE of 23.5x
Wilmar - Trading at FY07 Est PE of 24.6x

First Resources is fairly valued based on FY07 projections and the IPO price of $1.10. Any upside is likely to come from the FY08 projections as well as the high interest from Bio-Diesel projects due to the high oil prices.

Heard that the grey is currently up +10c to +15c from the IPO price. If this counter was listed a 2 months back, it would have enjoyed a very decent debut. My view is that this counter will likely debut with a stag of 10% to 20% upside from IPO price. I would give it a 2 Chilli ratings for long term prospects and profitability and the good peer valuation and share price movement will likely lend further support to this counter.
