In a bid to expand to international markets, Singapore-based fashion e-commerce company Zilingo has raised $54m in series C funding round led by Belgium’s Sofina, German media giant Hubert Burda’s Burda Principal Investments and Sequoia Capital India.

The funding comes only five months after the company raised $17m in a series B round.

From The Motley Fool:

Singapore Exchange’s current stock price of S$7.26 is just 0.8% higher than a 52-week low of S$7.20. This may raise a question among investors: Is the company a bargain now?

Singapore Exchange currently has a PB ratio of 7.98 times, which is significantly higher than the SPDR STI ETF’s PB ratio of 1.23. It’s a similar picture with the PE ratio, since Singapore Exchange’s earnings multiple is twice that of the SPDR STI ETF’s (22.7 vs. 11.4). On the other hand, Singapore Exchange has a higher dividend yield of 3.8%, as compared to the market’s yield of 2.96%. The higher a stock’s yield is, the lower is its valuation.

Putting it all together, we can argue that Singapore Exchange is trading at a premium to the market average, given its higher PB ratio and PE ratio.

Broadcom’s existing co-headquarters in San Jose, California will become its sole headquarters, the company said.
