| This clearly shows that Singapore education stocks are priced too low. Anyway, this company will be the next target by China?s educational giants. |

Don&rsquo t be surprised if KKR or other investors are already in touch with Mr Chew regarding a potential buyout, as Raffles has significant exposure to Mainland China, where demand for education remains highly lucrative.
So the latest writeup is by the same Editor that put a $2 value on Wee Hur then. And which is a wrong analysis.
As for the XCL deal, while in the same industry, it' s portfolio is totally different from that of Raffles Edu.
Go check out in details the portfolio of the 2 companies.
Trade with care.
keep a lookout for its relative - Sitra, may go back to 24/25

Seems like both prophets can see straight into the future, absolutely spot on! I won&rsquo t argue with that. Long and hold, and we&rsquo ll be laughing all the way to the bank.

KKR?s US$1.3b XCL deal puts a spotlight on education value, Raffles Education still trades at a deep discount
Ven Sreenivasan, Editorial Director
Investors Edge 24 Feb 2026 5:50pm
A US$1.3 billion private equity cheque for a Singapore based school operator has reset the valuation conversation for the education sector.
KKR?s reported agreement to acquire a majority stake in XCL Education at a valuation of about US$1.3 billion is not just another buyout headline.
It provides a real market reference point for what scaled education platforms can command in private markets.
The sharper question for listed investors is this.
Why is Raffles Education trading at barely a fraction of its underlying asset base and revenue profile?
A clear benchmark
From its latest filed financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024, XCL reported revenue of US$104.8 million and a net loss of US$27.4 million.
Total equity stood at US$200.2 million, while current liabilities exceeded current assets by US$54.2 million.
At a reported valuation of US$1.3 billion, the implied multiple is roughly 12 times revenue.
That valuation is not being paid for near term profitability.
It is being paid for scale, network depth and the long duration nature of fee income.
Private capital is underwriting structural demand for premium education.
Public market counterpart
Now consider Raffles Education.
For the six months ended 31 December 2025, the group reported revenue of S$56.63 million and an operating profit before tax of S$0.24 million, reversing a loss in the previous corresponding period.
Net cash generated from operating activities improved to S$22.53 million.
Net assets stood at S$669.65 million, with a disclosed net asset value of $0.3933 cents per share.
As of the latest available quote, Raffles shares were trading at S$0.146, implying a market capitalisation of about S$224.7 million.
Annualising first half revenue gives roughly S$113 million in sales.
At S$224.7 million, the stock trades at about 2 times revenue.
Set that against XCL?s implied 12 times revenue valuation.
The valuation gap is stark.
Balance sheet moves
The divergence becomes more interesting when capital discipline is factored in.
Raffles has disclosed asset disposals expected to yield approximately S$132.3 million in cash proceeds.
Its Chairman and CEO has converted S$15.53 million of bonds and loans into equity.
These are tangible balance sheet actions aimed at strengthening liquidity and reducing leverage.
Meanwhile, XCL?s FY2024 accounts show continuing losses and a working capital deficit.
One platform is being recapitalised and tightened in public markets.
The other is being acquired at a premium valuation despite still being in loss making territory.
Two prices, one sector
Private equity is paying for long term enrolment resilience and recurring cash flows.
Public markets appear to be pricing Raffles primarily on its past volatility rather than on its asset backing and improving operating cash generation.
The two companies are not identical in scale or positioning.
But valuation spreads of this magnitude invite closer examination.
If US$1.3 billion is a fair price for a loss making education platform with US$104.8 million in revenue, then a S$224.7 million valuation for a company with S$669.65 million in net assets and positive operating cash flow looks increasingly difficult to justify.
In private markets, capital is voting decisively.
