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.

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.

let's pray it stays this way or dua chiong.
I am the guy who applied 21 lots and got 3 lots. I am happy that Courts were very generous in their ballot in terms of you get a two in one chance of getting something for almost every single tranche (1-9, 10-49, 50-99 etc).
That said, I personally prefer that the chances of getting be lesser and then those who get, will get more lots. So instead of 23:50 ballot ratio, we can have 10:50 with the person getting more say instead of 3 get 5 lots?
What do you think? My rationale is simple: More people hold the stock more likely that someone will panick and sell cheap at the opening bell (Hu An Cable remember???)
Also, the lesser lots you get means it is v hard to break even, those get say 2 or 3 lots, is hard to recoup unless share price dua chiong.
I think retail trache usually won't "move" a needle so how it perform post IPO will depends on who they place out the shares to. As you can see, they couldn't satisfy the institutions as well, so there might be some support post IPO. Plus the over allotment was "activated" so there will be some support if price drops below IPO price.
On the whole, it is tough to make a lot of money from punting IPO, so just treat it as a tikam game unless u have access to placement tranche of good counters...
I should have made 150 (selling at 0.83), but I only make 90 (selling at 0.81), I had 3 lots. Had a lecture and missed the opening bell, by the time I saw the share was on a free fall. Now 0.785 dead duck
