CapitaMalls Asia's trading halt early this morning made me wonder if the rumours of dual listing in Hong Kong for this company are true. I just checked SGX's website and have confirmation.
"CapitaMalls Asia wishes to announce its intention to explore a secondary listing in Hong Kong to complement CapitaMalls Asia's growth strategy in China. China currently accounts for approximately 37%1 and 70%1 of CapitaMalls Asia’s total property portfolio by property value and Gross Floor Area respectively. Given the growing importance of CapitaMalls Asia's China business going forward, the Directors believe that the Listing will complement CapitaMalls Asia’s expansion in the country and achieve its longer-term strategic objectives." Read announcement here.
Like with all dual listing announcements, it is reasonable to expect a spike in buying interest in this counter. The fervour could dissipate after some time but I would expect some positive movement initially. Resistance levels could possibly weaken and higher highs could be formed.
See slides proposing secondary listing here.
