UI Boustead REIT — Singapore's Biggest REIT IPO in Years. Is It Worth Applying For?

UI Boustead REIT ("UIB REIT") launched its IPO at $0.88 per unit and the IPO is open for public subscription from now till  10 March 2026 noon , with trading commencing on 12 March 2026 . This is one of the largest REIT IPOs we have seen in some time. As always, I will walk through the background of the REIT, share what I find compelling, flag the areas of concern, benchmark it against listed peers, and close with the chilli rating. The post is generated with the aid of AI but vetted by Mr. IPO About UI Boustead REIT UI Boustead REIT is a Singapore-focused industrial and business park REIT backed by the sponsor entity UIB Holdings — a joint venture between Macquarie Asset Management (managing over US$588 billion in assets globally) and Boustead Singapore , a long-established SGX-listed engineering and real estate group.

NoonTalk Media Limited

For Information Only


Sorry I missed this write up as I was traveling, hence this post is pure for records purpose. 

Even if I am around, I am unlikely to give it a good rating given just how poor market sentiments had been.

NoonTalk Media Limited ("NoonTalk" or the "Company") is a Singapore-based media entertainment company that specialises in artiste and talent management, multimedia production and event conceptualisation.

The Company is offering 22m shares at Singapore 22 cents each, of which 4.5m is via public offer and 17.5m via placement. Based on the IPO price, the market cap is S$43.6m

The IPO opened on 14 Nov and closed on 17 Nov 12 Noon. 

 I have never seen such a "short" IPO window. I am sure they met the legal requirement for the minimum IPO roadshow period but to have it for 2.5 days, it means that they have already placed out the hands to friends and family before launching the IPO. 

The books were covered by Lim Hock Leng (MD of Sheng Siong Group) who took 4.4m shares, Union Energy (2m shares) and Qilin Wealth Fund - Family Office (1.35m).

Dasmond Koh, the founder and CEO owns about 62.55% of the Company post IPO and two other popular artists who worked for him are Xu Bin and Kimberly Chia.

I don't really know how to value this Company as it is project driven and it is also tough to account for the "extra income" received by their artistes. For example, the red packets received by these artistes, do they go to the Company or to their pockets directly? lol. 

Thankfully I don't have to give them any chilli ratings! I just cut and paste the pictures below from the IPO prospectus for reference.
