Info-Tech Systems closes 4.6% above IPO price on first day of trading
The counter opened at S$0.95 with the stock code ITS, reaching as high as S$0.98 in Singapore's second listing for 2025 and first mainboard listing in close to two years.
The Singapore-headquartered firm's trading debut comes two days after its IPO closed, with some 24.9 million shares fully subscribed at S$0.87 apiece.
Its IPO comprised an international placement of around 19.9 million shares allocated for selected investors, which was 5.5 times subscribed, and an offer of five million shares available to the Singapore public, which was 14.4 times subscribed.
This translates to a subscription rate of 7.3 times for all the shares on offer.
Established in 2007 by Babu Dilip, the company's chief executive officer, and Peter Lee, the group's executive chairman, Info-Tech Systems offers software services to improve the efficiency of human resource operations – including payroll, leave management and performance appraisal – and targets small and medium-sized enterprises.

The IPO proceeds will go towards deepening Info-Tech System's market penetration, enhancing its brand visibility as well as expanding its suite of solutions and operations, said Babu.
This could include expanding the group's geographical presence to new markets and accelerating access to new technology through inorganic acquisitions and partnerships. The firm also operates in Malaysia, Hong Kong and India.
For the financial year ended December 2024, the company recorded a 17.6 per cent rise in its net profit to S$12.3 million. Its top line grew by around 15 per cent year on year to S$43.7 million, tracking a rise in revenue of its cloud accounting software.
OCBC is the sole issue manager and global coordinator for the placement, as well as the joint bookrunner and underwriter alongside CGS International Securities Singapore.
The IPO comprised new shares issued and an offering of vendor shares by Lee and executive director Yeoh Sin Yee.
Info-Tech Systems' mainboard listing follows that of automaker Vin's Holdings on the Catalist board on Apr 15. It is the first pure-play, software-as-a-service provider for human-resource management systems and accounting software to list on the Singapore Exchange.

Djokovic confident for Wimbledon title tilt, Swiatek wary of Collins
LONDON - Seven-times champion Novak Djokovic takes on Miomir Kecmanovic, while Poland's Iga Swiatek faces Danielle Collins as the third round of Wimbledon continues on Saturday. TOP MEN'S MATCH: MIOMIR KECMANOVIC V NOVAK DJOKOVIC Djokovic, since winning his last Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open in 2023, has had to endure a string of narrow misses in his bid to claim a record 25th major and move past Margaret Court at the top of the leaderboard. The former world number one has lost one Grand Slam final and three semi-finals since then, but his faith has not wavered and he served up a reminder of his prowess with a 6-3 6-2 6-0 demolition of Briton Dan Evans in the second round. "If I play like today, I feel like I have a very good chance against anybody, really, on the Centre Court of Wimbledon, a place where I maybe feel the most comfortable on any court," Djokovic told reporters after the win. "Rod Laver Arena and Wimbledon Centre Court are the two courts where I've done so well throughout my career. I felt great physically, mentally sharp. Game-wise, I'm playing as well as I can, really, on grass. So hopefully I can keep it up ... "The aspirations and objectives are very high, to go all the way." Top stories Swipe. Select.

TOP WOMEN'S MATCH: IGA SWIATEK V DANIELLE COLLINS Five-times Grand Slam champion Swiatek has been far from her brilliant best in recent months, but a run to the final of the Bad Homburg Open last month will have bolstered her belief as she looks to win her first grasscourt title. The Pole next faces former Australian Open finalist Danielle Collins, against whom she has a 7-2 head-to-head record, but the American emerged victorious when the two last met at the Italian Open in May. "(She's a) flat hitter, baseline player. Solid serve. Likes to be proactive, be aggressive," eighth seed Swiatek said of Collins after her 5-7 6-2 6-1 comeback victory over Caty McNally in the second round. STRUGGLING KREJCIKOVA MEETS NAVARRO Barbora Krejcikova limped through the opening two rounds after being taken to three sets by Caroline Dolehide and Alexandra Eala, raising questions over how the 17th seed will fare in her first real test of the tournament. The defending champion is up against American world number 10 Emma Navarro, who believes she has what it takes to defuse the threat posed by the Czech. "I think it would be a huge challenge, for sure. She's confident on this surface, and she knows she has what it takes to go all the way," Navarro said. "But from my end I feel like I have a lot of tools and the ability to sort of combat that."

Property measures: Sellers have to hold on to private homes for longer, stamp duty rises
Analysts say changes to seller's stamp duties for private home owners will help prevent sharp price increases and spread out demand. Such home owners must now hold on to their property for a minimum of four years, or pay seller's stamp duty. This is up from the previous three-year period. The changes apply to properties purchased from Jul 4. Professor Sing Tien Foo, Provost Chair Professor, Department of Real Estate at NUS Business School, and Desmond Sim, Group CEO at Realion, discuss the new changes to seller's stamp duties for private home owners. They talk about how this may affect the rest of the property market and if the new rules will make a difference.
