CK ASSET (01113.HK) announced that it has signed an agreement to sell a 20% stake in UK Power Networks to a single buyer, along with a 40% stake in CKI HOLDINGS (01038.HK) and a 40% stake in POWER ASSETS (00006.HK), CLSA published a research report saying. The base consideration was $22.15 billion, with potential sale gains amounting to $8.4 billion. The transaction is still subject to regulatory approval. The unexpected disposal brings a potential gain of $8.4 billion, equivalent to 59% of the current forecasted net profit for FY2026. CK ASSET has never distributed special dividends since its listing, CLSA noted. The proceeds from the $40 billion sale of The Center in 2017 were subsequently used for acquiring a UK office (which were later sold) and infrastructure projects (such as the 20% stake in UK Power Networks), conducting opportunistic share buybacks and steadily increasing dividends.
