There seems to be insider leaks and it has fingerprints all over the charts.

Chart Nexus BIC guy picked up on it 3 months ago.
Having said that it's just a 10-15% gain. Capitaland value was in the open and one could also make 10% easily after the restructuring announcement...

Why SPH CEO Ng Yat Chung always ends up with loss making company and selling the company away ?

He has sold NOL and now he is selling SPH.

He is the most dangerous CEO in SGX.

Actually he takes the companies not doing well....but he is not a turnaround artist.

Why not employ people with business experience and track record?

Looks like Keppel Reit and SPH Reit will also eventually merge.

SPH reits is worth $1+ ...so there is about 10% to gain there.

Investors would prefer cash as Keppel reits are all overvalued.

Looks like Tamasick is going to make Keppel into a hugh and profitable conglomerate

Umbra guy is not the turn around type. His task is to cut cost using plain old textbook method of letting go employees. Then sell it off. All papayas use such old fashioned textbook methods. These type of fruits has totally no idea of how to run private enterprises.

“Keppel said that the acquisition will accelerate its Vision 2030 plans to become an integrated business providing solutions for sustainable urbanisation, with an asset management arm to fund its growth and provide a platform for capital recycling.”

SPH without the media business and SPH Reit is just a rojak company. Nursing homes, student hostels, Seletar Mall, M1 and even 20% of Mindchamps etc. All these in exchange for giving away the grade-A office of Keppel Reit plus cash. Maybe Keppel likes to eat rojak.

Keppel is the White Knight.

If Keppel is so good to acquire SPH, why Temasek last year scrapped a $3 billion plan to raise its stake and take control of Keppel ?
What is the agenda behind this take over?
Whick banks willing to take the high risk in supporting the loan?
Any accountability towards its depositors?

And let's not forget SMM forced to eat up the useless O&M from Keppel..

Guess all the GIC 1 by 1 either going bust or get privatized..


RE: Keppel Corp makes S$3.4 billion offer for SPH's non-media business - starbugs - 02-08-2021

Need 75% of SPH shareholders to agree. I think there may be enough angry shareholders to scupper the deal.
