THE CONTEXT

• Lum Chang Creations (LCC) is best known for conservation, restoration, interior fit-out and A&A work. Now it has secured an unusual contract -- in an adjacent domain.

• The contract -- interior decoration for the upcoming Teck Ghee MRT station in Ang Mo Kio -- is valued at 
S$32.9 million, a size normal for the company.

• What is less typical is:

The duration: The contract runs for almost three years, from July 2026 to July 2029, whereas LCC’s projects typically last 12–18 months. 

Its subcontractor position: LCC is carrying out an architectural package under the larger N109A contract rather than contracting directly.


The Teck Ghee contract scope is supply, fabrication, installation and completion of architectural and associated sub-contract works.

LCC has previously completed interior fit-out and A&A works at Bedok South MRT station and Tanah Merah MRT station.

• An investor concern would be margin rather than capability -- the station project is potentially lower margin than bespoke conservation work.

LUCC secured S$32.9m Teck Ghee Station contract

LimThiamHooi LCCLim Thiam Hooi, MD, Lum Chang Creations: He co-founded the company in 2018.

● YTD, LUCC has secured five contract wins with a total value of S$121.2m, representing c.87% of our FY26F order-win assumption.

In 1HFY6/26 (Nov 25), LUCC secured the Registries of Civil and Muslim Marriages Building and Orchard Road Presbyterian Church projects, with a combined contract value of S$63.4m.

In May 26, the company announced two additional projects, the Covenant Evangelical Free Church and NUS Baba House, worth a combined S$24.9m.

● As at 30 Apr 2026, the group’s order book was S$144.0m, forming c.90% of our FY26F order book assumption of S$160m.

It has fulfilled all conditions for its Mainboard transfer

● On 30 Jun 2026, LUCC completed the proposed placement, issuing 15m new placement shares and placed 20m vendor placement shares, at S$0.759 per placement share. The total share capital increased from 315m shares to 330m shares.

● As at 1 Jul 2026, the public shareholding spread of the company was 25.44% and the number of shareholders of the company was 663. Accordingly, it fulfilled all conditions under the in-principle approval for its transfer from Catalist to the SGX Mainboard.

● On 13 Jul 2026, LUCC completed its 1-for-1 bonus issue, with 330m bonus shares credited, doubling its issued share capital to 660m shares. We reflect the new share base and adjust our TP accordingly.

● After fulfilling all conditions under the in-principle approval, LUCC will transfer from Catalist to the SGX Mainboard, with Mainboard trading to commence on 16 Jul.

● In our view, recent developments could enhance LUCC’s trading liquidity and broaden the investor base. 



Reiterate Add, with a new TP of S$0.64 based on 17x FY27F P/E

● We reflect the new share base and adjust our EPS and TP accordingly.

We value LUCC at 17x FY27F P/E (vs. the CY25 sector average P/E of 15x, reflecting a premium for its superior net profit margin and ROE).


LiJianlinLi Jialin, analyst

● We continue to like LUCC for its exposure to the conservation pipeline in Singapore and Malaysia, strong returns on equity and potential expansion in Malaysia.

● Key catalysts are faster-than-expected income contribution from its Malaysia business.

Downside risks include higher-than-expected costs, weaker project wins, and unexpected disruptions to construction works.
