Jardine Matheson's Potential Divestments Likely Next Rerating Catalyst

0646 GMT - Jardine Matheson's potential divestments are likely to be the conglomerate's next major rerating catalyst, say DBS Group Research analysts in a note. The company has committed to around 9% annualized five-year total shareholder returns and other targets for dividends and share buybacks, which reflect stronger shareholder alignment and capital discipline, they say. The stock trades at around 27% holding company discount, which suggests investors have yet to fully price in the company's structural changes. Jardine has around US$5 billion worth of divestment opportunities, they estimate, noting its US$4 billion capital recycling target until 2030. DBS initiates coverage of the company with a buy rating and a US$90 target price. The Singapore-listed shares are down 0.4% at US$61.77. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
