Singapore Post Set to Benefit From Planned Sale of Australia Business -- Market Talk

Dow Jones12-03

0612 GMT - Singapore Post stands to benefit from the planned sale of its Australia business, Maybank Research's Jarick Seet says in a research report. The divestment will realize a gain of roughly S$312.1 million, lower the postal service provider's debt to S$350 million from S$895 million, and will probably lead to a special dividend, Seet says. The Singapore-listed company's excess cash will likely be returned to shareholders, and more asset sales by Singapore Post are expected going forward, such as its Famous Holdings subsidiary. Maybank raises the stock's target price to S$0.77 from S$0.74 with an unchanged buy rating. Shares are 1.7% higher at S$0.595. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
