Strong Insider Alignment & Privatisation Potential
The CEO holds approximately 3.22% of the company, bringing the father-and-son team's combined ownership to around 77.78%. This heavy concentration demonstrates massive confidence in the company's outlook. Given their high stake, they may eventually take the company private. Alternatively, they could declare a solid dividend for the upcoming 2H2026 results to reward themselves, which would naturally benefit minority shareholders as well.

Strategic Redevelopment & Funding Secured
On 21 September
2026, the board announced plans to finance the remaining S$102.43 million
acquisition cost for properties at 28–36 Jalan Kilang Barat and 8 Jalan Kilang
Timor. The Group intends to redevelop the site into a multi-use, ramp-up B1
industrial building.
To fund this, the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Soon Hock Pte. Ltd., secured a facility agreement with Maybank Singapore Limited for three term loan facilities totaling up to S$129,029,500.

Investment Thesis
With the stock
trading at a highly attractive trailing twelve months P/E of just 3.1x, backed by aggressive
insider buying and secured project financing, accumulating more shares at these
levels appears to be a sound strategy.
