Expect a 12-30% retracement on this. Much larger (2-3x) Singaporean competitor Pico is trading at 8.8x p/e and 3.9x ev/ebitda. HK-listed Pico, with a proven track record nearly half a century long, has progressed from a major pan-Asia event organizer to a global brand activation company. Kingsmen is still a mere domestic event & exhibition player with nearly half of sales locally. It is on 10x p/e and 5.7x ebitda. Dun deserve such premium at all. Its limited free-float and absence of institutional interests are retarding the much needed downward adjustment in share price.

The comparison with Pico Far East is helpful.key parameters for Pico (ROE, low debt, eps growth, management competence,decent dividend, valuation) are sound, only the development of Cash flow after working capital changes is relatively flat over the last few years and does not match EPS growth. why?

Ummm...guess is juz the nature of their biz model - project driven. As Pico gets bigger jobs (esp more from China), cashflow gets a liitle more patchy.
