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.

Heatec Jietong Holdings Ltd

Not another Catalist listing?!... Heatec Jietong is offering 18.5m New Shares at $0.275 each. The IPO is through placement and will close on 6 July 2009. Trading will start on 8 July 2009.

The Company is one of the leading piping and heat exchanger specialist in Singapore servicing the marine and oil & gas industries. The company made S$46.5m sales in 2008 with a net profit of $6.64m (net margin of 14%). The listing expenses is $1.44m and the net proceeds raised is $3.65m. (I can never understand why the listing fees is so high versus the amount raised... a real waste of time and money for the company...)

The company is issuing shares at around 5x PE and will have a market cap of $33.33m post listing. The company is fairly valued at the IPO price. Assuming the net profit for 2009 is slightly better and have a fair value PE of 6-8x, there could be some slight upside post IPO but for me, it is only a mediocre issue. Since this is a "placement only" issue, you will have to know someone from either DMG or Prime if you really want it..
