Info-Tech Systems closes 4.6% above IPO price on first day of trading
[SINGAPORE] Software services provider ended its first trading day at S$0.91 on Friday (Jul 4), 4.6 per cent above its initial public offering (IPO) price. 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.
