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

This is basically the listing of a mama shop selling someone else's product. While we can easily write off this company as one without its own products and is just a concept retailer, the encouraging thing about this entreprenuer is that he has shown you that if you have the correct concept and know the market well, you can be profitable.

A retail shop selling Apple products is more profitable than Creative with its own brands and patents?! Creative should perhaps just concentrate on R&D and sell its technology to Apple for marketing and branding.

Anyway, Apple products have also given people as the 'cool' thing to have, and the next in-thing will be the iphone that will be brought into Singapore in 2008. Challenger 1H07 sales is $65m and net profit is $3.8m, assuming a full year profit of $7.6m, the EPS is 4.06 cents and PE is around 6.77x. Challenger is trading at a cheaper valuation as compared to Afor.

Conclusion: There are better stocks with cheaper valuation around.
