Intriguing IPOs: Davis Commodities Limited (DTCK)

The bones of an investment case may be there for this Singapore-based food company, but lots of questions remain.

Everyone’s investment risk profiles vary greatly on their personal experiences. One’s familiarity with certain industries or geographies might make them seem less risky than someone without similar experiences.

As an American who has lived outside the U.S. for 10 of the past 16 years, I think it’s fair to say I am less averse to investments outside the U.S. than your average American investor. Whether that is an advantage remains to be seen, but it is certainly a tool in the investing toolbox that I’m more willing to deploy.

This is all a caveat to say this most recent IPO that has piqued my interest is probably wholly attributed to my overseas experiences. Few people with an appetite for overseas risk will want to look at Singaporean-based food distributor Davis Commodities Limited (NASDAQ: DTCK).

However, those looking for companies that will benefit from the rise of the consumer class in Southeast Asia and Africa may also find Davis Commodities intriguing. Let’s dig in.
