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.

Jason Marine Group Limited


Jason Marine Group Limited is one of the leading providers of integrated solutions of a wide range of marine communication, navigation and automation systems based in Singapore.  The company is offering 16m New Shares at 21 cents (of which 15.5m will be via placement and the rest via public offer). It is encouraging to see companies trying to list on Catalist actually attempted to make a public offering. This is very refreshing vis-a-vis what was being done by Primepartners for most Catalist listings. The offer will end on 19 Oct 2009 at 12pm. The market cap post IPO will be S$22.3 million.

Revenue grew from S$40.7m in FY2007 to S$70.9m and net profit grew from S$1.6m to S$6.4m in the same period.  The Financial Year ends on 31 March 2009 and the EPS for FY 2009 based on post invitation shares is Singapore 6.03 cents and that translate into a listing PER of 3.48x.  Assuming the EPS grow by 25% in FY 2010 and a fair value PE of 4-5x for Catalist listings, the EPS will be 7.54 cents and the fair value will be between 30 cents to37 cents.
