CPMC Holdings (906.HK) Privatization Update- Due to Risk Behind ORG’s Offer, Baosteel Is a Wiser Bet

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Baosteel’s choice to maintain its original Offer may partly reflect its “confidence” in the deal. If investors bet that Huarui Offer will succeed, they need to bear some risks.
  • If investors choose to arbitrage at HK$7.21/share, annualized return is 9% assuming privatization would be completed in mid-Jan 2025.Such return may not be attractive considering the uncertainties behind the deal. 
  • If investors are optimistic about Baosteel’s final acquisition of CPMC, they can consider buying Baosteel shares, as Baosteel will become the new industry leader, with greater upside potential for valuation.
