Shares of APAC Realty have risen 38 percent since they began trading in September, compared with a 5.9 percent gain in Singapore’s benchmark Straits Times Index over the period.“As a private company, PropNex will evaluate the company’s capital needs whenever necessary and does not comment on these matters publicly,” it said in an emailed statement.
