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

Mun Siong Engineering Limited

Mun Siong Engineering Limited ("Company") is offering 107m New Shares at $0.20 each where 2m shares will be for public and the remaining 105m shares via placement.  The Company is an integrated mechanical engineering and electrical and instrumentation service provider for the Process Industries and its major customers are the petroleum majors, petrochemical companies and multi-national EPC contractors.

Revenue increased from $26.2m in FY2007 to $67.7m in FY2009 and net profit before tax rose from $1.7m to $9.8m in the same period. Q1 2010 show a revenue of $14m and net profit of $2.1m.  The offer will close on 20 Oct at 12pm and will commence trading on 22 Oct.  The EPS based on post-invitation shares for FY2009 is 1.94 cents and that translate into a historical PER of 10.3x. The NAV per share (taking into account the IPO proceeds) will be around 8.38 cents. The market cap is around $83.34m at the issue price.

The comparable bigger EPC sompanies like PEC and Rotary are trading at less than 10x forward PEs. In this regard, for this small cap company, it is really priced on the higher side that is trying to list amidst positive IPO sentiments. The only good thing is that the company is raising funds by issuing purely new shares for growth and no pre-ipo vendors trying to flip and make a quick buck. Unfortunately there are better EPC companies trading a cheaper valuation and other than the low price per share of $0.20, i don't see many compelling reasons to invest in this company for the long term.
