0712 GMT - Power Assets' investors should watch how the company plans to use proceeds from the sale of its stake in UK Power Networks, its largest British asset, says Morningstar's Lorraine Tan in a note. The Hong Kong-based utilities-investment company's priority is to reinvest the cash, she says. However, the company's track record shows that it previously paid out some the proceeds from a 2014 deal as dividends as it was unable to find a suitable target, the director notes. She reckons a special dividend is more likely, but prefers an acquisition that could provide growth, given that the company's shares and valuation could fall after the potential special dividend is paid. Morningstar raises its fair-value estimate to HK$59.00 from HK$53.00. Shares are down 0.8% at HK$61.675. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
