  • Property developer Guangdong - Hong Kong Greater Bay Area Holdings (1396 HK) (GHKGBA) is currently suspended pursuant to the Takeovers Code.

  • GHKGBA, previously known as Hydoo, was subject to an unconditional MGO in 2019 after China Guangdong-Hong Kong Greater Bay Area (CGHKGBA) acquired a 51.56%. CGHKGBA currently holds a 50.94% stake

  • At a guess, CGHKGBA will seek to take GHKGBA private by way of a Scheme. The rub/pushback? GHKGBA's share price is up 2,383% YTD. And trailing P/B is ~7x.

GHKGBA is suspended so there is nothing to be done.

The insight is labelled bearish as GHKGBA doesn't pass the sniff test.
