China Traditional Chinese Medicine (570 HK): Disaster as Offer Lapses, Potential Deal Break Price
- Shockingly, the Sinopharm-led consortium’s offer for China Traditional Chinese Medicine (570 HK) has lapsed as the precondition long stop date has not been extended.
- This deal break caught many, including me, off guard. There are lessons to be learnt and questions to be asked.
- Shareholders will have a bruising Monday. Our analysis suggests a deal break price of around HK$3.44, a 10% downside to the last close.
ABC/TI Fluid Systems: 10% Gross Spread on a Highly Likely Deal
- TI Fluid Systems (TIFS LN) is trading at 10% gross spread to ABC (Apollo)’s Proposal, which the Board of TIFS would be minded to recommend if made firm.
- Although TIFS has made notable strategic progress recently, and maintained margins despite tough conditions over the last years, the short-term car picture has gotten progressively worse.
- 200p implies 4.6x EV/NTM EBITDA versus global auto suppliers trading on a median of 4.4x and represents a good-value exit. I believe the deal will complete. Long.
