$Deluge Corporation Limited(9DC.SI)$ attracted strong IPO demand, with its public tranche oversubscribed 11.97 times. However, the real question is whether it can turn orders into sustainable profits.
Deluge reported approximately S$433 million in outstanding orders, around 3.7 times FY2026 revenue. This provides visibility, but project costs and delayed payments could pressure cash flow.
FY2026 revenue declined 16.5% to S$116.66 million, while attributable profit fell 42.4% to S$8.68 million. Encouragingly, gross margin improved from 30.4% to 33.2%.
At S$0.60, the IPO price implies roughly 10 times historical earnings. I remain cautiously optimistic, but would prioritise earnings recovery and cash flow over IPO hype.
Strong orders attract attention; consistent profits create lasting shareholder value.
