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.

Happy "Death" Anniversary 07.07.24 ?

The last time I penned a post on my anniversary was in July 2021. As a reminder, I started the blog on 07.07.07

If I can summarise the state of our stock market - don't bother to list here if you are not a bank or REIT. Even REITs are now challenged.   

So here I am, penning the obituary of my own blog with the article in the Straits Times acting as the final nail in the coffin. ðŸ¤•

I would really urge all the stakeholders to think about how to revive our dire market and time really to get the act together. Could we have done differently and take advantage of the geopolitical tensions to attract Shein to list (or dual list) here instead of London
We need some marquee listing to revive our markets and we need global fund managers to set up shops here instead of going to Dubai.

Time for MOF, MAS, IRAS, SGX, GIC, Temasek, Abrn, Blackrock to form a task force? Maybe they might send me an invite to chair the committee? ðŸ˜… SOS.... SOS.... SOS... time to Save Our SGX...
