Shares of Chinese Estates Holdings Ltd (00127), a Hong Kong-based property investment and development company, soared 5.79% during intraday trading on August 15th. The stock's significant surge was likely driven by the company's announcement of a major transaction involving the disposal of its subsidiary, State Smart Ltd.
According to the announcement, Chinese Estates Holdings has agreed to sell State Smart Ltd to Oval Gymkhana Holdco Limited for a consideration of GBP125.4 million (approximately HK$1.02 billion). The disposal is expected to generate net sale proceeds of around HK$1.018 billion for the company.
While the details of State Smart Ltd's business and its significance within the Chinese Estates Holdings group were not disclosed, the substantial sale proceeds could potentially be viewed positively by investors. The company may use the proceeds to strengthen its financial position, fund future investments, or pursue other strategic initiatives.
