Sembcorp Marine (SMM SP):  Keppel O&M Takeover Completion Next Week = OOF!

By Travis Lundy

  • This insight comes as one-half of a pair. The problem: I cannot label one insight as a pair trade, and there are different dynamics at play.
  • This insight discusses the dynamics of Sembcorp Marine (SMM SP) as the takeover of Keppel O&M nears. The deal goes effective 28 February after last week’s SMM shareholder approval.
  • That will mean overhang. Lots of active overhang. There WILL be some index upweights, but index treatment remains nebulous, and one has to expect a lot more net index outflow.

Keppel Goes Ex- SMM Spinoff This Week – NEWKEP Is Still A Buy

By Travis Lundy

  • This insight comes as one-half of a pair. The problem: I cannot label one insight as a pair trade, and there are different dynamics at play.
  • This insight discusses the dynamics of Keppel Corp (KEP SP) as the SMM takeover of Keppel O&M nears. The deal goes effective 28 February but KEP trades ex- on 23 February.
  • While not as egregiously mis-priced as SCI vs SMM in autumn 2021, NEW KEPPEL appears under-priced here.
