Jardine Matheson's Deals May Buoy Shareholder-Return Plan -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Oct 20, 2025

0112 GMT - Jardine Matheson's moves to partially sell a Hong Kong property and take subsidiary Mandarin Oriental private are likely to make significant progress in Jardine's plan to improve shareholder returns, say Citi analysts in a note. All Mandarin Oriental shareholders will receive special dividends from the Hong Kong asset disposal, and Jardine's share of the payout is likely more than enough to cover the take-private deal costs, they say. Citi notes the conglomerate is shifting from its role as an owner-operator to being a long-term investor, which will provide strategic direction to its subsidiaries. Citi raises its target to US$69.50 from US$62.50, citing the value creation from the deals. It maintains a buy rating on Jardine. Shares last closed 0.8% higher at US$61.13. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
