Exactly 1 year ago...... 

iFast mulls more banking licences in the EU, Singapore amid global push https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/ifast-mulls-more-banking-licences-eu-singapore-amid-global-push

imagine they successful get a license in EU or Singapore within the next 1-2 years.... 🥰

 

Another new high closing at $10.27. 

the amazing part is that it jump 2cents up at closing. Show the strong price discovery stage. That hope that the vertical climb come sooner than later. 

still remember the jump from $2-4 and again from $4-10 many years back. 

🤣 💪 🙏

 

Assuming FY25 EPS ends up at 30 cents and it can deliver another 30% earning growth in FY26, this will translate to estimated EPS of 39 cents.
At $15, projected FY26 PE will be 37 times.  Not too excessive in a bull market.

iFAST Expanding the Ecosystem Not Just the Share Price

We are seeing iFAST hit new highs not because of dividends or market beta but because it is quietly rewiring how wealth advice scales.

Think of the industry as two worlds. Inside big banks advisers enjoy institutional grade portfolios tools and global fund managers. Outside independent advisers often have the trust of clients but not the same firepower.

iFAST is breaking that divide.

By partnering directly with BlackRock and J.P. Morgan Asset Management iFAST now lets independent advisers offer professionally managed institutional quality portfolios once reserved for elite banks.

It is like giving small independent shops access to the same supply chain as luxury malls without forcing them to move into the mall.

Add to that iFAST 30 percent stake in Financial Alliance and we see a clear playbook
grow advisers grow client assets compound AUA over time.

We will not see fireworks overnight. But structurally this is how iFAST moves toward S$100bn AUA by 2030 by becoming the backbone of independent wealth advice not just another distributor.

One line takeaway
iFAST is not chasing flows it is building the highway everyone eventually drives on.

 

Day high $10.15

above $10, discovery phase up to analyst target price of up to $13.50. Finally above $10 without resistance. What a long wait? 🤣

 

 

$9.82 day low. Now $9.97. Recovery quite fast. 🤣

 

$10.01 this morning. That see if it can truly hit $12 after the consolidation.....🤣 🤣 🤣

 

iFAST: strengthening the distribution flywheel

Aletheia Capital has reiterated a Buy on iFAST Corporation, with a target price of around S$13.50, following its latest strategic partnership.

The key takeaway isn&rsquo t short-term earnings, but long-term AUA compounding.

We can think of iFAST like owning a reservoir. Markets provide the rain, advisers bring in the rivers. This partnership effectively widens the river channels &mdash more advisers, more flows &mdash while iFAST continues to own the platform collecting recurring fees. As assets accumulate, operating leverage kicks in naturally.

The market often focuses on near-term numbers, but the real value lies in iFAST steadily expanding distribution, deepening its ecosystem, and letting time do the heavy lifting. If markets trend up over the long run and inflows keep coming, valuation usually follows.

This is how quiet compounding businesses are built &mdash not with one big jump, but with many small channels feeding the same reservoir.

 

We can think of iFAST as owning the main highway where money flows in wealth management. The recent collaboration with BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase is like inviting world-class car builders onto that highway &mdash bringing professionally managed investment portfolios that make it easier for advisers and investors to stay invested without having to micromanage every decision.

This partnership helps strengthen adviser engagement and gives clients access to globally diversified strategies, while iFAST continues to benefit as assets under administration grow over time.

Over time, as markets rise and fresh inflows continue, this can help drive long-term fee growth and sticky client relationships &mdash turning scale, partnerships, and time into a virtuous cycle.

Joelton      ( Date: 08-Jan-2026 09:55) Posted: iFast&rsquo s proposed acquisition of Financial Alliance stake could be more exciting than it looks The relatively modest investment could burnish the growth strategy of iFast, which is on track for a multi-year growth trajectory   [SINGAPORE] When digital banking and wealth-management platform iFast Corporation announced after market close on Monday (Jan 5) its plan to acquire a 30 per cent stake in Financial Alliance Corporation (FA Corp), it barely registered a blip in the market.   Shares of iFast edged up 0.7 per cent on Jan 6 &ndash the day after &ndash falling far short of the 1.3 per cent rise of the benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) the same day.   FA Corp is the holding company of Singapore-based Financial Alliance, a financial advisory firm with over 450 representatives it is also the majority shareholder of FA Advisory, a licensed financial planning and advisory firm in Malaysia.   iFast believes the acquisition will create a &ldquo strategic bridge&rdquo between its wealth platform and the business-to-business financial advisory business. This will enable deeper collaboration, enhanced adviser support, and a scalable foundation for future expansion, it said.   Further, the group views FA Corp as a leading non-insurance company-owned player that will emerge among the long-term winners of consolidation in the financial advisory industry in Singapore, where it sees &ldquo substantial growth potential&rdquo .   The management also signalled the potential listing of FA Corp in the next two to three years.   So, why the ambivalence in the market? One reason could be the relatively small size of the proposed acquisition, at just S$19.6 million.   The net asset value of the assets being acquired stands at some S$13 million, so iFast&rsquo s 30 per cent share works out to around S$3.9 million.   This is hardly the headline-grabbing scoop that would excite investors &ndash especially amid news of America&rsquo s oil-motivated military action in Venezuela.   While not huge, however, the acquisition is in line with iFast&rsquo s overarching strategy to ride the growth wave of the wealth-management industry.    To remain relevant &ndash and indeed, achieve dominance &ndash players must build the requisite scale, operational efficiency and technological leadership, among other critical factors.   From this perspective, the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts, and FA Corp could prove to be more valuable to iFast in the long run than what is being reflected in the current topline numbers.    Accelerated growth While iFast&rsquo s core wealth-management platform business continues to thrive, the group is also on track for a multi-year growth trajectory underpinned by a turnaround at iFast Global Bank (iGB) and the ongoing roll-out of its e-Pension project in Hong Kong.   In its latest financial results for the third quarter ended September 2025, iFast logged a 54.7 per cent increase in earnings to S$26 million, supported by a 37 per cent rise in revenue to S$135.8 million.   As at end-September 2025, iFast&rsquo s assets under administration (AUA) surged 29.6 per cent year on year to S$30.6 billion, as it marches towards its target of amassing S$100 billion in AUA by 2028-2030.    For the nine-month period, it achieved a record-high return on equity of 26.1 per cent on an annualised basis.   The group&rsquo s cash and cash equivalents stood at S$772.43 million as at end-September, reflecting its strong cash-generative business model on the wealth-management front and the conservative balance sheet strategy adopted by iGB.       Clearly, the &ldquo smart money&rdquo has taken notice.   iFast registered net institutional inflow of S$115 million in the second half of last year, placing it among the top Singapore-listed companies outside the STI in term of inflows.   iFast last year clocked a total return &ndash with dividends reinvested &ndash of 29.7 per cent, pipping the 28.8 per cent return of the STI.    Its performance over the longer term looks even more impressive. Over the past five years, iFast managed a total return of 204.2 per cent, translating to an annualised total return of 24.9 per cent each year.   This trumps the STI&rsquo s annualised total return of 15.4 per cent over the same period.   The Financial Alliance investment can be an important enhancement to this growth strategy. It will certainly be exciting to watch as iFast continues to make more astute investment decisions to grow its business &ndash even if these might not be the biggest, most attention-grabbing moves.
