Keppel Limited

I see it maybe a way Keppel want to diversify from rely heavily on oil and gas but i still don't like it.

Firstly property market in Asia maybe going in the way of downhill. Secondly people may invest Keppel for its oil and gas and not for its property. Just like some people buy F&N for its drinks not for its property. Thirdly it is a fair price but not a deep cut price.

I buy KepCorp because it owns KepLand. Diversified play.

will Kepcorp call for rights issue??

they are following SCGlobal footsteps .... listed developer got painful restrictions.

KEP corp also need to pay QC even if KEP land privatised.

OUE and Wheelock also. All foreigners or non fully Singaporeans.

Qualifying Certificate (QC) extension charges still apply even if Keppel Land is under Keppel Corporation as the latter is listed.

Hence, it's not a SCGlobal move.

Kayhian,no change,even kepland as a wholly own subsi of KC. KC still need to pay QC penalty

Keppel Corp says receives requests to delay two projects
