Econ Healthcare Asia Ltd Lone Wolf report (IPO)

-



Econ Healthcare Asia IPO felt like déjà vu again. It was taken private in 2012 and now ipo(ing) again. Not again. Remember Aztech.....hmmm.

Econ Healthcare runs a chain of aging/assisted homes in Singapore,Malaysia and China. China business is a small 44 beds operation. Having call themselves China Healthcare previously. The expansion into China is at best slow. 

At 28c,the ipo is priced at a p/e of 14-17x. It is fairly priced as compare to other medical related stock. I don’t think there is much money left on the table. Given the fact only 1.8m is available for public. That will ensure plenty of over subscription for the IPO. My impression of Econ healthcare aka China Healthcare previously was an illiquid stock with very little trading interest after initial ipo. Given the size of the current IPO, one might face the same situation.

Econ Healthcare Asia is offering 50m shares at Singapore 28 cents each for its upcoming IPO of which 48.2m shares will be through placement and 1.8m shares for the public. The market cap based on the IPO price is around $72m. The IPO will close on 15 April 2021 at 12 noon and commence trading on 19 April, 9am.

Summary 

With only 1.8m shares available for public. Only a handful of shares will be given to successful applicants. Probably less than 6k shares for below 100k applied. Most people are likely to lose their $2 IPO fees. I will sit out the IPO and save that 2 bucks for kopi.

Wolf rating

Wolf Money(Portfolio update for end April 2024)part 1

  (Image credit The Star Media) (Swamp of people going into Shenzhen) Bye Singapore! Hi Malaysia, 2026 This write-up was inspired by a video posted on YouTube. The video talks about Hong Kong hollowing out by Shenzhen. The recent phenomenon of Hong Kongers going to Shenzhen to play, eat and stay is gathering pace with close to 2 millions making the crossing to Shenzhen during the recent Easter Holiday. That is close to 30% of the current HK population leaving for Shenzhen. With deflation taking root in China, things are much cheaper in Shenzhen. The poor economy in HK is another push factor with Hong Kongers trading down their consumption. One traveller from HK mentions his spending in the mainland only cost him 1/3 of the usual price he paid in Hong Kong. Hong Kongers are shopping at Sam’s Club in Shenzhen buying everything from groceries to electronics. The commentator interviewed restaurants and shop owners in HK, most experienced a 30% drop in sales during the holiday.  *T...

(The Death of the Singapore Stock Market) Great Eastern Holdings(extract from end of month portfolio update) Today we are here to attend the funeral of the Singapore stock market. Besides the low valuation suffered by our market participants, investors of our market have to navigate the complexity of low ball offers from majority shareholders. One would expect a local banking giant to lead as a beacon for good corporate governance. Unfortunately, they have decided to turn a blind eye and join the dark side of the forces, blatantly ignoring the IFA report to pay a fair price for GEH. I could have walked away quietly by accepting the offer for a gain in excess of 40% in 3 months, but I can’t walk away without my conscience pushing me to express my thoughts on this whole takeover saga. I started the journey by supporting Chin Woo. His leadership is top-notch. I think most minority shareholders will agreed, without Chin Woo’s effort, the minority would have been in a much inferior position...

   (Image credit: NLB archive: Singapore Press Holdings; An old article on OCBC previous takeover of GEH in 2006. Is the end game near for the longest takeover exercise in Singapore corporate history that stretches across two decades?) Great Eastern Holdings(extract from end May portfolio update) First of all before I go further, the views shared are mine, alone. It doesn’t reflect anybody views and it is also not to undermine the good work of the independent financial advisors which are been tasked to assess the fairness of this voluntary unconditional general offer by OCBC. Kindly do take my commentary with a pinch of salt given my vested interest in GEH. My view shouldn’t be taken as cardinal truth on what you should do with your GEH shares. Kindly do your own due diligence and seek professional advice. I praise and thank OCBC for starting the ball rolling with this privatisation offer. I believe the bank is capable of doing more for Great Eastern’s minorities. The offer of...
