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.

Hafary Holdings Limited

Hafary Holdings was established in 1980 and is a supplier of tiles to customers in the Singapore Market. The Company is offering 32.5m New Shares at $0.20 each for a Catalist listing and market cap is $32.5m post listing.

Personally i don't like the sector in which the Company is in as there are many competitors, low barriers of entry and cyclical in nature.  Revenue has remained stagnant from $29.9m in FY2008 to $30.8m in FY2009.  The net profit has declined from $3.4m to $3.0m.

The historical EPS (assuming service agreement in place and based on enlarged share cap) will be 2.16 cents and that translate into a historical listing PE of 9.3x (not cheap considering the sector it is in).

Avoid.
