2nd Poor IPO Debut in a Row - XOX

 
XOX made poor debut last Friday. Even though the IPO has been oversubscribed by 13.2 times, the listing of XOX plunge 35% on its 1^st day listing, down 28 cents from its IPO price of RM 0.80 and closing at RM0.52. The stock seems to continue loosing this morning but ramp up in the afternoon session closing 0.5 cents higher at RM 0.525.

Poor debut is likely due to reaction from frustrated investors on the poor 1^st Quarter financial report released just a day before listed. The quarterly report of a net loss of RM 1.67 million for 3 months period ended 31 March 2011. Investors would like to see a better earning and profit for the 1^st quarter after the company projected earning and profit will grow by 10 times from Year 2010.

Furthermore, few analysts were saying that XOX lacked both financial and operation records since the company had been loss-making for the past 4 years.

However, there are some analysts who still positive on the company’s outlook said that the profit taking activity by investors could be a knee-jerk reaction to XOX's first-quarter results.

“The worries are probably overplayed. (But) XOX's expenses to boost its brand awareness were necessary or else it will just lose market share to competitors.”

View on Jun/Jul 2011 IPO

According to official & unofficial sources that we figure, there will be 4 new IPOs to be closely launch from one another, namely:

*Financial2you prediction

After poor UOA Poor debut yesterday, many have re-evaluated their thought on either to participate or not participate in IPO. Therefore,  to us it is  very important to have at least brief information by vetting through the released Prospectus although it might sometimes elaborating the ‘good’ side of the company. We think UOADEV still have a good chance to shine in near / mid term..

If you are shortage of fund, (which could be in our case too..hihi) need to pick the at least a promising IPO. From our point of view, MSM & Bumi Armada would be the better stocks upon listing. MSM is already at 50 times subscription for institution allocated shares despite offering over 200 million shares. What would be the subscription for retailer which only offer 28 million shares?

On the other hand, Bumi Armada which is one of Ananda precious assets is very much popular after the success stories of Astro & Maxis. Furthermore, Bumi Armada is under O&G sector having ‘Outperfom’ call by most of Financial institution despite of World Economic slow growth.

However, should you have additional fund, you should not overlook Eversendai either. According to the news, Eversendai involves in most of Mega Project either in Malaysia or Middle East. Having said, the stock will attract foreign fund due to its appearance and good track records in World Class Jobs.

Well..those are our thoughts..what about yours?

MSM Malaysia may price IPO at RM3.50

MSM Malaysia Holdings Bhd, which bought billionaire Robert Kuok’s sugar refining business two years ago, may price its initial public offering at RM3.50 per share amid strong demand, at the top end of a projected range, two people familiar with the sale said.

Institutions have bid for 50 times more shares than available, said the people who declined to be named because the information is confidential. The Kuala Lumpur-based company, a unit of state-owned Felda Global Ventures Holdings Sdn Bhd, will continue taking orders until June 14, according to its prospectus.

Malaysia’s biggest sugar refiner may raise RM891 million based on its original offer size, said two other people familiar with the share sale on May 31, who couldn’t be identified. This would make it the Southeast Asian nation’s second largest IPO since state oil and gas company Petroliam Nasional Bhd spun off its petrochemicals business in a record RM12.8 billion offering in November.

The Federal Land Development Authority, popularly known as Felda, originated in 1956 as a government agency tasked with handling the resettlement of Malaysia’s rural poor. Felda Global, its commercial arm, bought Malayan Sugar Manufacturing Co Bhd for RM1.22 billion two years ago from PPB Group Bhd, a company controlled by the family of Kuok, Malaysia’s so-called “Sugar King”.

MSM Malaysia Chief Executive Officer Chua Say Sin couldn’t be immediately reached by phone for comment at his office today.

Malaysia's Bumi Armada IPO to raise $1 billion-sources

KUALA LUMPUR/SINGAPORE, May 4 (Reuters) - Malaysian oil and gas services provider, Bumi Armada, plans to raise nearly $1 billion from its initial public offer, the largest offer in Malaysia since the listing of Petronas Chemicals last year, sources with direct knowledge of the deal told Reuters.


"It is a $1 billion IPO, which values the company at about 20 times price-earnings for its 2011 earnings, and 16 times for 2012," a source told Reuters on Wednesday.


The sources could not be identified as they were not authorised to speak to the media.


Bumi Armada's Chief Executive Officer Hassan Basma could not be reached for comment.


The company filed a draft prospectus for its IPO with the country's securities regulator.


Bumi Armada said it plans to sell 878.6 million shares, of which 644.3 million are new shares and the rest are existing shares held by its present shareholders through the IPO


The draft prospectus did not detail the timeline of the share offer or the composition of shares that will be made available to institutional and retail investors, as is the practice for draft filings in Malaysia.


Bumi Armada specialises is an offshore support specialist, and is the only Malaysian company that owns floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels, which carry a premium lease rate.

The IPO, which will be one of the largest announced in Southeast Asia this year, has been delayed several times in the past few years.


Bumi Armada was privatised in 2003 by tycoon T. Ananda Krishnan, and a planned relisting in 2008 was delayed due to the global financial crisis. A subsequent relisting plan was also shelved.


One fund manager said the Malaysian market had appetite to support an IPO of Bumi Armada's size.


"I don't know whether it's the same company as it was in 2003 when it delisted, because I've been told they've injected other assets," MIDF Amanah Asset Management's Chief Executive Officer Scott Lim told Reuters, saying he needed more information on the company before deciding whether to invest in the stock.


The Malaysian oil and gas sector has been identified as one of the key economic areas under the government's economic transformation programme, which aims to boost investment and raise the national income level.


The country has also seen significant investment commitments from foreign companies, such as a total of $4.9 billion by Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L), to develop new assets in the country, the government has said.[ID:nL3E7CB02X]


The joint global coordinators for the IPO are CIMB , Maybank and Credit Suisse, which are also joint bookrunners with RHB , CLSA and UBS , according to the draft prospectus. (Additional reporting by Julie Goh; Editing by Anshuman Daga)
