Keppel T&T could ditch its 19% stake in M1

The possible sale would enable Keppel T&T to recoup $380m capital.

Keppel Telecommunications and Transportation is said to undertake a strategic review of their shareholdings of Singapore telco M1.

According to CIMB, Keppel T&T has a 19% of stake in the telco.

"The move makes sense to us as the M1 stake is deemed a non-core investment for Keppel T&T," the brokerage firm said.

A possible divestment of the M1 stake would enable the group to recoup $380m in capital based on M1’s current price of $2.12. It can also deploy the proceeds to its higher-return core businesses such as data centre and logistics.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
