Tycoon Quek’s Hong Leong considering sale of Southern Steel stake, sources say
$SSTEEL / 5665 (SOUTHERN STEEL BERHAD)
USD 200mil => RM 944mil.
Current market cap is only less than RM 400mil. Is boss saying that the company is super undervalue? Got potential here? Today letup already but still below the valuation
(Oct 25): Hong Leong Group, a conglomerate controlled by billionaire Tan Sri Quek Leng Chan, is considering selling its majority stake in Southern Steel Bhd. and seeking a valuation of as much as US$200 million (RM944 million) for the unit, people familiar with the matter said.
The company is working with advisers on the planned divestment of its 70% stake in the Kuala Lumpur-listed arm, the people said. A deal could value Southern Steel Bhd between US$100 million to US$200 million, the people said. At the top of the range, it would be more than double the firm’s current market capitalisation of about US$76 million.
Hong Leong and its advisers have reached out to companies in the same industry as well as financial investors to gauge their interest, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information is private. Deliberations are ongoing and the Malaysian conglomerate could still hold onto its stake, they added.
Representatives for Hong Leong Group and Southern Steel didn’t respond to requests for comment.
Southern Steel was founded in 1963, and its galvanised sheet plant in Penang, north of Kuala Lumpur, started production two years later, according to its website. The company was listed on the Bursa Malaysia, then known as the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange, in 1993. Hong Leong, which was Southern Steel’s partner since 1981, became the largest shareholder after buying shares from others including NatSteel.
