Some stocks may benefit from delisting of PLUS
PETALING JAYA: The delisting of PLUS Expressways Bhd can benefit certain stocks if investors decide to reinvest in Bursa Malaysia.
PLUS
is to return RM9.1bil in cash, which is 41% of 5 bil shares at RM4.45
per share, to their minority shareholders after today. How the
shareholders plan to reinvest the cash is dependent on their investment
mandate.
ECM Libra
analyst said in a report that if the shareholders' investment mandate
was for dividend yield, then stocks with a market capitalisation of more
than RM10bil with a dividend yield similar or better than PLUS would
benefit.
Stocks that could benefit from the delisting are Malayan Banking Bhd, Maxis Bhd, Telekom Malaysia Bhd, Petronas Chemicals Group Bhd, RHB Capital Bhd, MISC Bhd, Public Bank Bhd, Digi.Com Bhd, YTL Power International Bhd, Kuala Lumpur Kepong Bhd, British American Tobacco (Malaysia) Bhd, Petronas Dagangan Bhd and Petronas Gas Bhd.
However,
if their mandate were for concessionaire-type businesses, then similar
stocks benefiting from the delisting would be YTL Power and Lingkaran Trans Kota Holdings Bhd.
If
the purpose for shareholders holding PLUS shares were to benchmark
against the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index, stocks
that would most likely replace the shares would be AirAsia, Bumi Armada and UEM Land.
For
funds originally owning PLUS shares, it will depend on the funds'
purpose and the decision of the institutional fund managers.
PLUS
shares have been suspended since Dec 8 to facilitate the distribution
of cash proceeds that will arise from the disposal of its entire
business and undertaking, including all its assets and liabilities, via a
special dividend and selective capital reduction and repayment.
The 2.13 sen special dividend that was paid out with ex-date Dec 12 is an addition to the offer price of RM4.45 per share
