(July 2026 Results) How i would invest in the singapore stock market if i had 100k of spare money + Short Commentary on All-Link Air & Sea IPO

 

July 2026 Returns: 4.10%

Year to Date Returns: 22.47%

Since Inception (9 Sept 2020) Returns: 478.02%

Engro probably lead the way with a positive profit guidance . It is worth noting that the volume traded in the past few days prior to the end of the month is higher and also the price went up recently again another 15+% compared to the closing price after the profit guidance. 

Whether this is due to company engagement with investors and research house or more folks seeing it as an undervalued alternative or better construction data / invested private equity data remains to be seen.

After trading hours today, Intl Cement reported a positive profit announcement as well. Not surprising but have to wait till when results announce to see how much is the improvement

August will see another busy period as most stocks in the list will report results.

I will try to summarise the All-Link Air & Sea Limited IPO as short as possible.

I will not be subscribing in the IPO. In fact i think this IPO will likely go underwater and might produce a loss making 1H 2026.

1) Too much IPT. The company has 90.5% of revenue reliant of referrals from the controlling shareholder's company. Similarly, 30% of supplying is from the same company while another 40% is from a company of same name but we are told it is independent .......erm ok

2) For a company raising 17.7 million SGD, it makes no sense as they have 38.6m of current assets and only 22.6m of current liabilities . Counting in total liabilities, its only 24.3m. On top of that they are declaring 8 million USD of dividends to themselves before listing. 

3) It is listed as an associate of AGX Group Berhad. The share of profit according to AGX Group Berhad is as follows


As such, Q1 2026 does not look good actually.


To add on , the drop in associate profit from 2024 to 2025 tallies with the figures provided by the company.


To conclude, from how i see it, this ipo is unfortunately a waste of time.

EGP Energy Corporation Limited IPO Review (Looks Really Good?)

I will write the conclusion first as usual. 

(Idol Photo from Current Overseas Trip)
(Company Basic Details)

I think its ok for flipping and to await its half year results but given current disclosure in the prospectus, i am not keen to hold this beyond this year.

In fact, this company has so much positives that i was so convinced that i am going to press this company until i remembered i want to check a detail which turned out to be a party popper.

Basic Details

IPO Price: $0.51

Market Cap: 115 Million

Public Shares on Offer: 1 Million

Closing Date: 27 July 12pm

2025 Net Profit

Implied PE: 11.2


What i like about the company

1) Increasing Orderbook

Order book at 31 December 2025 was around 217 million. This has increased to 282.1 million as of 16 June 2026.

2) Increased Revenue Outlook

The company should easily increase its revenue as it expects to complete 60% higher in contract value in 2026 compared to 2025.

3) Sustained Financial Performance

Looking at the details provided on the company as of 31 May 2026, it seems like the company made around 5.6 million in the 1st 5 months of 2026. As such, on a 1 year scale, it seems likely the company can have sustained financial performance.

4) Easy to understand Sector

-I don't think its hard to understand that power demand will only increase and this causes substations to have to be constantly upgraded. This leads to a recurring future orderbook possibility.

5) Steady Customer Credentials

-SP Group is its major customer with over 75% of orderbook being awarded by them. Being state-owned, there is not much to worry about the default risk. It also increases the reputation of the company and reduces the likelihood it is a fraudulent company.

After writing so much good things, folks probably wonder why i am not a fan of this company in the longer run.

What i dislike about the company

1) Future Contracts Mix a Worry.

From the above, we can see that the margins for M&S is better and revenue between T&D / M&S is split 54:46.

While the full disclosure on how much of the 280+m contracts on hand is M&S is not said,


It seems like 200m of T&D project is left unrecognised. This might point towards a lower margin moving forwards unless more M&S orderbook is won.

This is also the reason why i feel like it might not be worth a long term gamble at 11 PE. Even after their recent contract victory of 19.2 million, the implied ratio of TD:MS is probably around 2:1 compared to the near 1:1 ratio for its revenue 


Conclusion

It baffles me why this company wants to list as it has a very solid cash position. Perhaps being asset light would result in being harder to take loans? Anyway, it is a very lean business with only 55 staff.

One of the owners of the company is also a listed company of a HK Listed Stock which does Civil Engineering in SG.

At 3+ PE, that company Wei Yuan Holdings (1343 HK) might be worth a better look.
