City Developments Could Exit Legacy U.K. Assets -- Market Talk

May 25

0435 GMT - City Developments could exit its legacy U.K. portfolio as it looks to optimize its assets, says Phillip Securities' Darren Chan in a note. The U.K. assets appear to be underperforming and could potentially be sold as the Singapore-based property company aims to reduce its net gearing and unlock value for its shareholders, the analyst says. It could also sell some commercial properties in China that are operating under challenging market conditions, he adds. He anticipates CDL's strategic review to potentially include fund-management initiatives such as private funds to recycle its noncore assets. Phillip Securities maintains its buy rating and S$11.32 target price on the stock. Shares rise 3.2% to S$8.43. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
