CKH HOLDINGS (00001.HK) is purportedly planning to spin off its global telecom assets for a listing on the London Stock Exchange.

UBS released a research report on this, indicating that the ring-fence entity could encompass the group’s telecom businesses in Europe, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia, with an estimated valuation of GBP10-15 billion. This implies an EV/EBITDA of 4.1-6.3x, vs about 5x EV/EBITDA used by UBS in its per-share NAV valuation for CKH and the about 6.5x level seen among European peers.
