In today’s briefing:
- CGN New Energy (1811 HK): Evaluating a Potential Privatisation
CGN New Energy (1811 HK): Evaluating a Potential Privatisation
- Bloomberg reports that CGN, the parent and largest shareholder, is reconsidering taking CGN New Energy Holdings (1811 HK) private.
- CGN New Energy shares have underperformed the median peer’s shares since the announcement of CGN’s previous aborted privatisation attempt (2 March 2020) and on the last twelve-month basis.
- The probability of an offer is high as CGN, an SOE has access to financing, and CGN New Energy’s valuation is low. We estimate a potential offer range of HK$2.80-4.30.
