Privatization of HMM: Enormous Shares Dilution Risk

By Douglas Kim

  • The Korean government has initiated the M&A privatization of HMM, the largest container shipping company in Korea. 
  • We are Negative on the shares of HMM Co., Ltd. (011200 KS) in the next 6-12 months. We expect additional 20% to 30%+ downside risk on HMM in this period.
  • Although HMM has a strong balance sheet, more investors are likely to emphasize on the negatives including excessive share dilution risk and worsening environment for the global shipping industry.
