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.

Goodland Group Limited

Goodland Group Limited is placing 30m new shares at 20cents each for a Catalist listing.  The company is a boutique property developer engaged in the development and sale of residential properties in Singapore.  The company focused on small and medium sized landed housing and residential apartments.The offer will close on 6 Oct 2009.

Based on the IPO price, the company is priced at a premium to its NTA by 266% and at 16.7 times FY 2008 PER based on the post IPO share capital and pro forma earnings assuming the service agreements were in place.
